Possession

Glenn Danzig's post-Misfits career has always been about one thing — his voice, and finding the heaviest possible setting for it. The debut Danzig album (1988) paired that voice with Rick Rubin's production and a sound built from Black Sabbath riffs and blues structures, creating a kind of occult heavy rock that occupied its own space.

Possession is one of the debut's most hypnotic tracks: a slow groove, Danzig's baritone at its most commanding, the subject matter characteristic — desire and dominion, the language of possession operating simultaneously as supernatural and erotic.

Danzig's catalog is uneven, but the first four albums are among the more distinctive achievements in heavy metal of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
