First released in 1990, Danzig II: Lucifuge would serve as the sequel to 1988's self-titled predecessor Danzig; the debut solo LP from original Misfits vocalist/primary songwriter Glenn Danzig. Returning to work with producer legend Rick Rubin, the album would feature, at the time, the most outsider influences the goth-punk songsmith had toyed with, channelling an occult blues edge on tracks such as 'Killer Wolf' and 'I'm The One', with the latter omitted from the first album's tracklist due to its compositional style. Citing iconic blues figures such as Howlin' Wolf and Robert Johnson as influences (both of whom were accused of playing the "Devil's music"), the work would delve into ideas, perceptions and personifications of evil, whilst becoming renowned as the creative centrepiece where Danzig finally stepped out from beneath the Misfits and Samhain reference/reverence, and distilled his myriad potential into one declarative piece of gothic artistry, touching on but not limited to, elements of goth rock, metal, punk, blues, folk, and psychobilly.
