VA: GDAŃSK - A Tribute to Danzig In a belated tribute to the dark prince of metal, Danzig, a motley crew of artists from Gdańsk have come together to pay homage to the man, the myth, the legend. With covers ranging from the eerily faithful to the outrageously irreverent, this compilation album is a veritable rollercoaster of sonic sensations. Kicking off with a blistering rendition of "Mother" by local punk heroes, The Gdańsk Misfits, the energy is palpable from the get-go. The tempo doesn't let up as we're treated to a punk-rockabilly fusion of "Twist of Cain" by The Skullcrushers, complete with twangy guitars and wailing vocals that would make Glenn Danzig himself proud. But it's not all loud and raucous – the album takes a somber turn with a hauntingly beautiful acoustic version of "Sistinas" by folk singer Magda Kowalska. Her ethereal voice adds a new layer of depth to the track, turning it into a soulful ballad that is sure to tug at heartstrings.
