The Danzig community on Reddit is buzzing with strong criticism directed at Glenn Danzig after fans spotted N*zi-associated ‘Black Sun’ symbolism on official merchandise during the band’s recent U.S. tour.
The discovery has sparked heated discussions, with fans voicing frustration and confusion. One Reddit user remarked, “Maybe this is his way of being cancelled so he doesn’t have to play Misfits reunion shows anymore.”
Another fan commented, “I don’t think Danzig is racist or anything. I don’t think he cares about sociopolitical issues all that much. Honestly, when he drops the ‘tough, evil guy’ act, he strikes me as very friendly and fun. But it’s still HIS responsibility to make sure his merch isn’t N*zi merch—and this is N*zi merch.”
A longtime fan expressed deeper disappointment: “Giving this a pass because ‘Glenn knows what he’s doing’ is total bullsh*t. Don’t support his trolling N*zi crap. I’ve been a Misfits and Danzig fan going way back, and frequently play his music at open mics. I’ll always love the music, but I can’t show love for an artist who uses N*zi imagery like this. And yes, that goes for Slayer and Motörhead, too.”
The controversial symbol was spotted on posters during Danzig’s ongoing U.S. tour. Fans identified it as the ‘Black Sun’ or ‘Sonnenrad,’ a symbol with direct N*zi associations still used by some white supremacist groups today. This connection has intensified concerns about its presence on official Danzig merchandise.
Glenn Danzig’s artistic style has long embraced provocative imagery, with InsideHook noting his frequent use of controversial symbols. His work often incorporates Iron Crosses and occult references, rooted in punk’s tradition of anti-establishment defiance.
However, Danzig has remained silent on the controversy. Blunt Magazine reports that his lack of response has only fueled further debate among fans and critics alike.
