Longtime HardRadio friend GLENN DANZIG is going from the stage back to the director's chair for Hellmask, a new feature he will adapt from his own comic book. The book, per the logline, is "set against a brutal medieval backdrop filled with dark magic, armored warriors and massive bloody battle scenes." Hellmask "follows a violent supernatural tale steeped in gothic atmosphere." Veteran indie horror and action filmmaker James Cullen Bressack is producing, with the film currently casting and planning to go before cameras in August. Danzig previously dove into his comic books for the screen with 2019's Verotika, while he also directed the vampire spaghetti-western Death Rider In The House Of Vampires, released in 2021.

In the mid- to late 1980s WHITESNAKE exploded from a popular British hard rock band into a worldwide phenomenon, becoming one of the decade's most successful rock acts. This fall, Craft Recordings revisits that landmark period with vinyl reissues of Slide It In (1984), Whitesnake (1987), and Slip Of The Tongue (1989). Powered by hits including "Here I Go Again," "Is This Love," "Still Of The Night," and "Fool Tor Your Loving," the David Coverdale-led group's run of multi-Platinum albums helped define the sound and spectacle of '80s hard rock.
