Album Notes & Community Reviews

Acting as their first extended release outside of the United States, 'Beware' was compiled primarily for a brief UK tour to introduce the band's distinctive aesthetic. The brief EP bundles tracks from their highly sought-after 'Bullet' and 'Horror Business' singles, showcasing Glenn Danzig's booming, melodic croon juxtaposed with frantic, buzzsaw punk instrumentation. It remains a crucial snapshot of the pioneering group establishing the stylistic and thematic boundaries of horror punk.
