Glenn Danzig gives ElvisPresley a dark revamp on 'Danzig Sings Elvis'
The "evil Elvis" reverently covers tracks like "Always on My Mind" and "Love Me."
Given Danzig’s longtime adoration of Elvis, it was hardly a surprise to learn in 2016 that he was working on a covers EP. He and guitarist Tommy Victor started revamping Elvis arrangements between work on Danzig albums and the soundtrack to 2019’s. The more songs they learned, the more they wanted to record, and the EP soon became the full-lengththat Cleopatra Records released April 24.
Like many people born before 1960, the now-64-year-old Danzig first heard Elvis on the radio as a kid. When he was a little older, he started watching Elvis movies, and developed a profound love for the captivating performer. “I used to hate going to school, so I used to cut school all the time,” he recalls. “I’d say I was sick, and I’d stay home and watch old movies that used to be on TV all day long. I remember seeing, and by the end of it, I was like, ‘This is cool. I want to see more.
“I like playing that stuff, of course,” he says. “If I reconnect and go back to that, that’s fine, but right now I’m doing other things.”
