Music and recording [edit]

How the Gods Kill was a departure from the previous Danzig albums and featured more than of a doom and gothic metal sound.[ citation needed ]

Bassist Eerie Von considers the album to be Danzig'southward best, with the band at its peak and able to tape most of the basic tracks for each song within a couple of takes.[11]

Guitarist John Christ noted how a lot of time was spent perfecting the guitar sounds for the album.[12] For the quieter moments on the songs "Anything", "Sistinas" and "How the Gods Impale", Christ used a Strat guitar previously played by Jeff Brook.[13]

The title song "How the Gods Kill" concerns a search for knowledge and an agreement of oneself.[14] According to John Christ, "That was a real tricky vocal to write and record. It has so many level jumps and changes in the sound of the guitar. I had to get from a very soft department to a very loud section to an in-between section. If you listen closely, yous can hear a hissing noise in the vocals in the intro because we were using a real noisy vocal preamp. We tried everything to get rid of it, but Glenn'due south performance was and then good that we decided to leave it - the mood was just right."[15]

The song "Sistinas" was written during a pulsate track recording session, as John Christ recalled: "Nosotros were in the studio recording drum tracks, and while we were on a intermission Glenn picked up my guitar and started getting an idea for a song. Then I came upward with a niggling chorus office, and in about an hour or ii we had the basic structure of the song. He wanted information technology to accept a Roy Orbison blazon of vibe with some timpani and keyboards. Nosotros used an quondam Fender amp with a vibrato on it, and nosotros cranked up the vibrato to get those really large chords - it was perfect for that song."[15]

Opening rails "Godless" is most feelings of frustration caused by organised organized religion.[16]

"Heart of the Devil" was the first song on the anthology to be performed live by the band, during the European Lucifuge tour in 1991.[17] Later in the aforementioned yr, information technology was confirmed that the tracks "Bodies" and "Do Yous Wear the Mark" had been written for the album.[17] Blues legend Willie Dixon had agreed to guest on the track "Heart of the Devil", but died before the recording session was scheduled.[18] The avant-garde metal band Lux Occulta recorded a cover version of "Heart of the Devil" for their 1998 EP Maior Arcana: The Words That Turn Flesh into Low-cal.

The tracks "How the Gods Kill" and "Muddied Blackness Summer" became popular and remain a permanent fixture in the band's set list.

Artwork and packaging [edit]

The album's comprehend is a 1976 painting called Meister und Margeritha (The Principal and Margarita) by famous Swiss artist H. R. Giger, named after Mikhail Bulgakov'south novel The Master and Margarita. For the album comprehend, Giger modified the original painting slightly, covering "the Master'south" erect penis with a dagger bearing his estimation of the Danzig skull symbol. Giger's version of the Danzig skull was later used on T-shirts and as the comprehend fine art for the "Muddy Blackness Summertime" single.

Like Danzig's other three albums with the original lineup, this album was issued a Parental Informational sticker, later on complete with a "potent language" warning, despite the total absence of profanity. In some markets, the primeval pressings were issued in a CD longbox.

Reception [edit]

Allmusic wrote, "Danzig's third album continues to expand the band's musical range" and chosen it "arguably the definitive Danzig album".[nineteen] Rolling Rock wrote, "Danzig the group has evolved, in the course of iii albums, into a resourceful, tightly meshed unit...Danzig embodies the all-time in contemporary hard rock while displaying an originality that transcends genres...Rock is alarmingly brusk of visionaries these days; Danzig is the genuine article".[viii]

Hit Parader, while saying that the album is too unrelenting to cause Danzig to break into the mainstream, wrote, "They deserve whatever recognition they get simply for having the guts to play metallic the way it was meant to exist played."[4]

Trouser Press called information technology "a roaring slab of leathery rock that isn't overly troubled by his lyrical obsessions", highlighting "Do You lot Clothing the Mark" and "Heart of the Devil" as examples of Danzig's interest in nighttime topics. The review besides describes Danzig's "confidence (or hubris, aforementioned departure here)" in "Sistinas", which is performed "as a ridiculous croony gothic carol". The review concludes, "Economical and efficient, an organic blend of vocals and instrumental intensity, How the Gods Kill is slap-up bleak fun."[ten]

Bob Mack of Spin called the ring "besides goofy to be taken seriously equally regular rockers but non goofy enough for the drawing metal crowd" and wrote that the lyrics to "Heart of the Devil", instead of sending a shiver down his spine, caused him to roll his eyes. He did compliment "Left Hand Black" and called "Sistinas" the "all-time Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark song since OMD's 1984 LP Junk Culture".[ix]

Daina Darzin of Request Magazine praised the album for its "solidly crafted melodies" and "lush, malevolent power", along with Danzig'south "wonderfully expressive, opulent phonation" and the "spectral mystique" added by John Christ's guitar work. Writing about the lyrics she stated that Danzig "has the backbone to go for fatalistic grandeur and gets away with it, for the nigh part", citing lyrics to "Heart of the Devil" as an exception.[6]

Pitchfork described information technology as the "album that lived up to the mighty image he'd built, where the archetype lineup of his solo ring in its prime found an emotional maturity unmatched by any tape he made before or after. It's Danzig at his almost sinister, notwithstanding also his most human being", adding that the band "reach a bigger, denser audio than they'd previously had. Danzig's subtle croon simply intensifies the effect of the blaze—stoked by desperate longing, he sounds that much more than demonic...How the Gods Kill marks the moment when Danzig transcended his punk origins and staked out a deeper place in the modernistic music canon, patching together the influences of Dixon, Orbison, and Howlin' Wolf into something grand. Information technology'south a record most confronting your inner strength, testing if information technology's plenty to endure heartbreak and uncontrollable lust; information technology'south near feeling that God is failing you, and wanting the power of a god withal".[5]

In a career retrospective, Cam Lindsay of Exclaim! rated it Glenn Danzig'south second best anthology.[20]
