• Glenn Danzig formed Danzig in New Jersey in 1987. The project is the singer's third major commercial venture, after the punk bands The Misfits and Samhain.
• In 1987, Samhain played their final show at The Ritz in New York City. Superproducer Rick Rubin was at the show and approached singer Glenn Danzig backstage to ask him if he was interested in being in a new group he was forming. Rubin was initially only interested in signing Danzig, but the singer refused to work with Rubin unless Samhain bassist Eerie Von could join as well. Rubin agreed and Danzig was born.
• By 1992, Rick Rubin's interest in Danzig had waned, but their future was looking better than ever. In 1993, MTV and many rock radio stations began playing the band's song "Mother" in heavy rotation. The success of the single shot Danzig into the mainstream and MTV included the track on their Buzz Bin compilation album.
• MMA fighter Gabriel Gonzaga uses Danzig's "Mother" as his entrance song. The tune has also appeared in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, True Crime: New York City, Guitar Hero 2, and Beavis and Butt-Head.
• Through the mid-'90s, Danzig became a revolving door of musicians. Original drummer Chuck Biscuits left the band in 1994 and was replaced by future Queens of the Stone Age drummer Joey Castillo. Kerrang! magazine reported that Nirvana drummer and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl declined the position before Castillo accepted it. Danzig's guitarist and bassist also quit the following year, forcing Danzig to recruit Alice in Chains axeman Jerry Cantrell to play the lead guitar parts on 1996's Danzig 5: Blackacidevil.
• On March 10, 2010, Danzig released a lyric book called Hidden Lyrics of the Left Hand. The book contains unreleased song lyrics with accompanying artwork by British comic book artist Simon Bisley.
• In 2009, Danzig's song "Thirteen" was chosen by director Todd Phillips to open the highly successful movie The Hangover. In 2011, Danzig recorded a new song called "Black Hell" specifically for the sequel, The Hangover Part II.
• In 2011, Danzig reunited for a string of very rare shows dubbed the Danzig Legacy tour. The following year, the band released a new cover called "Devil's Angels" from the 1967 film of the same name.
