Glenn Danzig will hit the road beginning in late October for a handful of live concert dates on both the East and West coasts, according to Blabbermouth.net. Joining Glenn on these dates will be bassist Steve Zing (Samhain) and guitarist Todd Youth (Danzig, Murphy's Law); former Misfits axe man Doyle Von Frankenstein and his new band Gorgeous Frankenstein, will support on all dates.
Glenn and
Doyle have been in the studio recording Doyle's first solo album, "
Gorgeous Frankenstein", which Danzig produced and will release on October 16 on his label, Evilive. According to Glenn, he and Doyle recorded "eight blood-curdling tracks" that include "
Man or Monster", "
Devilgirl", "
Reverse of God", and "
Made In Hell". The two played all instruments on the album.
These Danzig dates are also in support of "The Lost Tracks of Danzig", the two-CD set that was released May 29, as well as Glenn's limited-edition book "Drukija, Contessa of Blood", loosely based on the legend of 17th century vampire Countess Elizabeth Bathory, and illustrated by long time collaborator Simon Bisley.
