Not having never taken no course of song, it nevertheless is very quickly noticed by its vocal power, and founds in 1977 the Misfits in which it will occupy the post of singer naturally.

This same year, Glenn Danzig will create another group, Samhain, which will publish two albums: Initium in 1984 and November-Coming-Fire in 1986. One year later, under the wing of Rick Rubin, the group signs in a major, and then changes his name into Danzig to become one of the most important group of heavy metal of its time. In 1988, the group publishes its first album Danzig , which will be a great success (in particular thanks to individual the Mother ).
