DANZIG mainman Glen Danzig spoke with Christa Titus from Billboard.com about his forthcoming album, Deth Red Sabaoth, arriving June 22nd on Evilive/The End Records.

Danzig's first studio album in six years, follows 2004's Circle Of Snakes, the final project in a seven-album arc that Danzig conceived when he founded his namesake band in the late 1980s.

Danzig laughs when asked if the melding of his past bands' styles on the album was intentional. "All I do is get a basic direction for the records starting with Circle of Snakes, kind of starting over after I did my seven-record arc," he explains. "I want it to feel like an old-school kind of '70s record but with a very contemporary feel to it...I just made sure it sounded like a Danzig record and went from there."

Fans who have a ticket to any of Danzig's east coast dates scheduled prior to June 22nd (see below) will be able to buy Deth Red Sabaoth at the show, before it's available in stores.

But wait, there's more - those who purchase Deth Red Sabaoth at one of these special Danzig shows will also receive - as long as they last - a collector's edition CD single with two versions of the album's first single, 'On A Wicked Night', complete with exclusive art work. Only a limited number of the CD singles will be available, so once they're gone, they're gone.

On this special nine-date trek, Glenn Danzig will be joined onstage by long-time Danzig cohort guitarist Tommy Victor (PRONG, MINISTRY), drummer Johnny Kelly (TYPE O NEGATIVE), and former SAMHAIN bandmate, bassist Steve Zing. Danzig plans to dig deep into his career-defining catalogue and perform tracks from Danzig, Lucifuge, How The Gods Kill, and on up to the present, including several new songs from Deth Red Sabaoth.

Support for the east coast dates will be GORGEOUS FRANKENSTEIN, the band of original MISFITS member Doyle, and SEVENTH VOID, the band that includes Danzig/Type O Negative drummer Johnny Kelly and Type O guitarist Kenny Hickey. The west coast dates will feature ALL SHALL PERISH and TOXIC HOLOCAUST as support.

If this is still not enough Danzig for you, the Deth Red Sabaoth Limited Deluxe Edition - only 666 are being manufactured - is now available as a presale exclusively online at this location. This box set, which is being sold for $66.66, includes the Deth Red Sabaoth CD, a limited edition 'On a Wicked Night' 7-inch, an instant download of Deth Red Sabaoth available on the day of release, an autographed poster, and a stunning porcelain-like urn with exclusive artwork on all four sides.
