The first album for Danzig released (1988) It presents imagery of a mythological perspective, loaded of specifically abrahamic variety, in the bluesy rock/metal happening that are trademark to the Danzig vocal sound. The album along with its mythological elements, shares the darker and more voider content normally found in the equivalent of a black metal genre. Often holding its represented Abrahamic references in its Twist of Cain or Possesion. Material that was controversial at the time respectively. The entire album holds the soul of African American blues with the lyrical content of black metal and the image of christian metal. The mashup has proved to make the album iconic and a trademark for providing the baseline for later Danzig content. Proven further my songs such as The Hunter that are direct covers of blues artist Albert King who made the song a minor hit within the late 1960s. Songs such as the single Mother was a direct rhetorical response to the censoring of music by traditionalist and parents. In the words of Glenn Danzig himself "There was to be an organization that would tell you what you could record and if it was not appropriate, you would not put it out. It was very Facist" in reply to Parental Advisory Labels being introduces by organizations such as the Parental Resource Center

The Album: As stated, the album is the soul-fueled blues rock that would become the baseline for the musically shifting career of Danzig. Its mythological elements and lyrical content mixed with the powerful baritone of Danzig and souring gray instrumentals of the band would cement it so. While the band would later shift its music credibility through out the 90s to venures such as industrial metal (A popular and mainstream metal genre of the time) that would later exemplify itself into return to roots in later albums such as Deth red Sabaoth (2010) The album presents a rather top-heavy physique. With the first half of the album presenting the raging black-soul, and the second half providing a slower paced more melodic bluesy take. Unlike most albums within metal, it could hardly be presented as filler. The bluesy formation of the lower half of the album fits the theme and the instrumentation and vocal maintain their power in the somber and dark fashions known to Danzig.
