Legendary dark metal artist GLENN DANZIG and his band DANZIG will kick off a
month-long North American tour on February 18 in St. Louis, MO wrapping up
in Anaheim, CA on March 15 (full itinerary below). The 19-date trek will
feature Glenn Danzig/vocals, Tommy Victor/guitars, Jerry Montano/bass, and
Johnny Kelly/drums, and is in support of Danzig's latest album, "Circle of
Snakes," released in September 2004. Type O Negative's Kelly drummed for
Danzig on previous European tours, but this will be his first full U.S. tour
with the band.

"Circle of Snakes," Danzig's ninth album, features several cryptic tunes
that are psychological in nature, tunes that allude to the struggle between
the good and evil within us all, and is a return to the simplistic brutality
of the group's 1988 self-titled debut. "Circle of Snakes" Is introspective
and challenges the listener to bring a part of himself to it, to interpret
its meaning. As Danzig said, "Life is a constant battle, surviving daily
life and the battle within yourself."

In addition to the release of "Circle of Snakes" and the winter U.S. Tour
dates, Danzig has completed "Black Aria II," the follow up to 1993's "Black
Aria" which reached the #1 position on Billboard's Classical chart. "Black
Aria II" focuses on Lilith, a mythical figure and Eve's predecessor as the
first wife of Adam who has come to symbolize female independence and
rebellion. It is said that Lilith was banished to the desert, had sex with
demons, brought plagues to the Earth, and, taking on the form of a serpent,
seduced Eve to eat the fateful apple. "Black Aria II" was produced by
Danzig. An early summer 2005 release on Danzig's Evilive label is expected.

Danzig is also in the process of writing the screenplay for a film
adaptation of "Gerouge," one of the comic book titles distributed by his
Verotik publishing company; the film will mark his feature film directorial
debut. "Gerouge" takes place in New Orleans at the turn of the 20th
century, and word is that it will be "full of zombies, snake rituals, and
some of the most gruesome scenes ever put on film." Rainstorm Productions
is producing the feature, no release date has been set.

Glenn Danzig has received many titles, from the Godfather of dark metal to a
man of integrity, but most agree that over his 25-year career, his intense
musical and lyrical statements have left a permanent mark on rock music.
Danzig's music is dark, gothic, and haunting, an intense Californian twist
on Black Satanic Metal that would probably send chills up the spines of
today's Norwegian church burners.
