The Dark Prince Returns: Danzig’s ‘777: I Luciferi’ Splatter Vinyl (CLO3472)

Today’s entry descends into the shadowy world of Glenn Danzig with a stunning reissue of his seventh studio album. We are examining the 2023 Limited Edition vinyl release of Danzig 777: I Luciferi, issued by Cleopatra Records and Evilive with the catalog number CLO3472.

A Return to Darkness

Originally released in 2002, I Luciferi marked a significant moment in the band’s history. It is often cited by fans as a return to the dark, stripped-down heavy metal sound of the early albums, blending it with the gloom of doom metal. The album features a powerhouse lineup including Joey Castillo (Queens of the Stone Age) on drums, the late Howie Pyro on bass, and Todd Youth on guitar.

Glenn Danzig’s vocals are menacing and powerful on standout tracks like the crushing “Black Mass,” the groove-heavy “Wicked Pussycat,” and the atmospheric title track “I Luciferi.” The production is raw and heavy, perfectly suiting the album’s somber themes.

“Butterfly with Splatter” Edition

This 2023 reissue is designed to be a visual centerpiece for any collection:

- Custom Color Vinyl: The record is pressed on a spectacular Red & Black “Butterfly with Splatter” vinyl, creating a sinister visual that matches the music’s tone.
- Gatefold Jacket: The album is housed in a high-quality gatefold sleeve, featuring the distinctive photography of Carlos Batts.
- Collector’s Note: This copy retains the original hype sticker on the shrink wrap, confirming the limited edition color variant and barcode.

It is a definitive presentation of one of Danzig’s heaviest modern classics.
