The third and most ambitious Danzig album — blending heavy metal power with dark, melodic atmosphere. Featuring “Dirty Black Summer” and “How the Gods Kill”, it’s a defining moment in the band’s evolution.

Released in 1992, Danzig III: How the Gods Kill represents the band at their creative and artistic peak. Once again produced by Rick Rubin, the album refines Danzig’s signature fusion of hard rock, heavy metal, and gothic blues, adding greater depth and atmosphere than ever before.

Glenn Danzig’s commanding vocals and introspective lyrics explore themes of desire, spirituality, and the darker sides of human nature. The iconic H. R. Giger cover art perfectly complements the music’s haunting tone.

With standout tracks like “Dirty Black Summer,” “How the Gods Kill,” “Do You Wear the Mark,” and “Heart of the Devil,” this album is widely regarded as one of Danzig’s finest works.
