The Lost Tracks of Danzig

The Lost Tracks of Danzig is a compilation album by American heavy metal band Danzig. The set showcases a number of previously unreleased Danzig songs, ranging from the band's first recording sessions in 1987–88 until the sessions for Danzig's 2004 studio album, Circle of Snakes.

Glenn Danzig mentioned a compilation of unreleased songs in several interviews as early as 1990, prior to the release of Lucifuge. Due to his touring schedule and various other projects, the material that comprises The Lost Tracks of Danzig was set aside for a number of years, and was finally confirmed to be under preparation in the summer of 2006. He was only able to start work on the project after gaining back the rights to Danzig's unreleased material from American Recordings. Originally scheduled for release on May 29, 2007, it was delayed twice before its official release in North America on July 10, 2007, and in Europe one week earlier. The set was made available over iTunes in June 2007.

Glenn Danzig has said in various interviews and in the compilation's liner notes that he does not consider these songs "throw aways". The songs "Pain Is Like An Animal" and "When Death Had No Name" were written toward the tail end of Glenn Danzig's tenure in Samhain. Danzig has explained that the song is his conjecture as to what would happen if Farrakhan incited the passive white race to rise up and start a race war: "No one wants to see a race war. It would be terrible, so the song's saying, 'Be careful what you wish for.'" Glenn Danzig spoke fondly of the track "Satan's Crucifiction", describing it as one of his favorite songs on the set. The mix used on the X Files soundtrack differs very slightly in its final second of audio, ending abruptly rather than with a brief echo as on Lost Tracks. The remix "underBelly of the Beast" previously appeared on the soundtrack to The Crow: Salvation in 2000. "Unspeakable" (Shango Mix) was not officially released prior to the Lost Tracks, though it did appear as looped background music in the 2006 Grub Girl pornographic movie. Other songs were previously released in a different form. The original version of "Come to Silver" can be found on Blackacidevil. The original versions of "Unspeakable" and "Belly of the Beast" were released on the 1999 album 6:66 Satan's Child.

The Lost Tracks of Danzig is packaged as a two disc digipak. Two versions of the cover exist; one with "Danzig" in the more recognized font and the other in a retro sixties type font. The album cover is by artist Simon Bisley. The set contains a booklet that explains the history of each song along with vintage band photos. Ultimate Guitar "It’s full of the band’s classic evil blues sound, and doesn't really veer off that path Between the chugging, down tuned guitar and the smooth delivery from Glenn Danzig, there is plenty to satisfy anyone who has been a fan of the band." Billboard "The Lost Tracks of Danzig is a dark holy grail for followers of the lone wolf icon The set works well as a history lesson, although its dirge and dreary atmospheres make the double album extremely linear."

A music video was released for the song "Crawl Across Your Killing Floor". The video is shot in black and white, and is inspired by the opening of the 1966 Spaghetti Western film Django.

The following tracks either are not included on the set, were released with different titles, or never existed.
