Where this album fits

Career context
By the time 'Circle of Snakes' was released in 2004, Danzig had established himself as a prominent figure in heavy metal, following his last studio album 'Danzig 777: I Luciferi' from 2002. This album marked a return to a heavier sound reminiscent of earlier works, after experimenting with different styles in the late 90s and early 2000s.
