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 sessions in 1987-88 until the sessions for Danzig's most recent studio album, Circle of Snakes. After years of frontman Glenn Danzig discussing plans for the album, it was finally confirmed to be under preparation in the summer of 2006. 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.
Danzig mentioned this compilation in several interviews as early 1999. Due to his touring schedule and various other projects, The Lost Tracks of Danzig was set aside for a number of years before finally being completed in 2007.
Danzig has said that he does not consider these songs throwaways, but that often the case was that the songs didn't fit the theme or concept of the album. "The songs that make it onto the final album 'fit' or 'flow' together as a whole. Consequently, some tremendous Danzig songs have never been released, not because they weren't great, but because they didn't fit the overall vibe of the particular album, or for other reasons."
