Thankfully, ILuciferi finds Glenn Danzig rediscovering his bloody rock and rollcojones after two lackluster pseudo-industrial artistic stumbles,6:66 Satan’s Child and Blackacidevil. So yes, I Luciferi is athrowback of sorts to Danzig’s heyday, when Danzig, Danzig II:Lucifuge, and Danzig III: How the Gods Kill (and maybe Danzig 4)were staples in any self-respecting punter’s CD changer. So thealbum kicks off with mid-tempo ripper “Black Mass” soundingimpressively sinister, if a bit ham-fisted in the riff department,with Danzig’s howling vocals clean and creepy and the lyrics asblack as Satan’s pupils. Balls-out bombastic rocker “Liberskull”and dirge-like album-closer “Without Light, I Am” are the bestDanzig cuts to tickle the devil’s undercarriage since the widelyunderrated, richly textured Danzig 4, which boasted Glenn Danzig’smost accomplished and varied songwriting — before his top-notchbacking unit (guitarist John Christ, bassist Eerie Von, and drummerChuck Biscuits) bailed, presumably preferring career oblivion overDanzig’s ego. And that’s precisely where I Luciferi is lacking;without a truly blistering unit behind the Jim Morrison-emulated,Evil Elvis singer, “Halo Goddess Bone,” “God of Light,” and “TheColdest Sun” lack the spark that forces riffs into nasty blackunderground nether-regions. Instead, the guitars chug RobZombie-style during the verses and drone atmospherically during thechoruses, the songs left needing a wicked John Christ-like virtuosotouch. Still, the leathered biker swagger of the title track and“Naked Witch” are worthy listens, although “Kiss the Skull” cranksa Dumbo-eared Marilyn Manson arrangement and “Wicked Pussycat” isdepressingly obvious and quite embarrassing, too comic book-likeand tongue-in-cheek for its own good. Uneven as I Luciferi is, it’sa quite listenable and welcome return to truly metallic form forGlenn Danzig, who, for the most part, successfully aims for thegray area between truly menacing evil and nudge-nudge wink-winkdark humor — something conveyed best on early Danzig material.Sure, his best years are most likely behind him at this point, butI Luciferi proves that this old snake still has some venom left inhis fangs.
