Psycho Las Vegas Announces Danzig to Headline Performing How the Gods Kill

The only question when getting Danzig to headline a fest and play an album in full is: which one? It’s a tough call, but I think Psycho Las Vegas 2018 made the right all in going with 1992’s Danzig III: How the Gods Kill. They could’ve done the super-oldschool thing and had the band do the 1988 self-titled for its 30th anniversary, or 1990’s Danzig II: Lucifuge, but with How the Gods Kill, you’re still speaking to that older school contingent — who loved “Dirty Black Summer” whether they wanted to admit it or not — while getting the attention of those who came along a few years later and were perhaps subsumed by the third record’s darker, more atmospheric take.

Danzig III: How the Gods Kill was one of the the first CDs I ever owned. I was 10 when it came out. Years later, I found the coffin-shaped box set at a record store somewhere on the peah and couldn’t resist making the purchase. It’s not the kind of album you listen to every day, but no question it was a special accomplishment worthy of topping the bull at Psycho Las Vegas 2018, who announced the confirmation thusly:

The metal-god myth himself Danzig will be joining the already-stacked lineup headed to the desert this August for Psycho Las Vegas. Performing Danzig III: How the Gods Kill in its entirety, this appearance is another addition to Psycho’s history of hosting mind-blowing, head-banging headlining performances. This will be the only performance of this album in the US this year.

Seattle doom duo Bell Witch has also been added to the Paradise Pool Pre-Party (August 16), joining Wolves in the Throne Room, Elder, Dengue Fever, Fireball Ministry, and Toke. Following the release of their highly acclaimed, 84-minute single-track album Mirror Reaper last fall, a sludgy sunset poolside set is now anticipated on the horizon — tickets are limited!

    Danzig is a goon.

  2. Blake T says:

    RFTC and The Hellacopters…man Those are two bands I missed back in the day and then they were no more…worth the price of admission right there.

  3. Blake T says:

    And yeah, I bought Danzigs albums as they came out way back when but he became a bit of a dipshit.
