GLENN DANZIG: Original 'Black Aria' Special CD Gatefold Package Due Next Month

April 18, 2007

Glenn Danzig's original "Black Aria" LP is finally set for re-release in a special embossed gatefold CD package. Unavailable for several years, this special edition has also been remastered.

Vinyl fans should be on the lookout for LP and picture-disc releases of "Black Aria II" here in the U.S. All these evilive releases will be available May 15, 2007.

On May 29, evilive will release "The Lost Tracks of Danzig", a two-CD set comprised of 26 previously unreleased tracks that span DANZIG's entire career. All of the tracks were recorded during the band's seven-album "arc" that began with 1988's "Danzig".

The 26 songs on "The Lost Tracks of Danzig" are presented in chronological order; the first two cuts are "Pain Like an Animal" and "When Death Had No Name", both songs that have their roots in late SAMHAIN but evolved into two of the very first DANZIG tracks and intended for the band's self-titled debut. Fans will also find a song entitled "Angels of the Seventh Dawn", originally recorded for the 1990 album "Danzig II: Lucifuge", "Crawl Across Your Killing Floor", considered for "Danzig 6: Satan's Child", and the controversial "White Devil Rise", which was recorded for 1994's "Danzig 4p" and is Glenn's conjecture as to what would happen if Louis Farrakhan incited the passive white race to rise up against and start a race war with the Black Islamic movement.

Danzig also liked to include cover songs on his albums so "The Lost Tracks" will feature T.REX's "Buick McKane" (1992's "Danzig III: How The Gods Kill"),DAVID BOWIE's "Cat People" ("Danzig 7"),and "Caught In My Eye" by THE GERMS ("Danzig 6"). One of the CD's true treasures is a sparse acoustic version of "Come to Silver", a song that Glenn originally wrote for JOHNNY CASH (who reportedly loved it),then recorded it (with Jerry Cantrell on guitar) for 1996's "Danzig 5: Blackacidevil".

"The Lost Tracks of Danzig" will also contain a special 12-page booklet with a foreword personally written by Glenn Danzig, a sentence or two with the history or an anecdote for each track, and plenty of vintage photos.
