Glenn Danzig - Black Aria II
March 21 2008 at 12:46:43 AM

It's just not Halloween without Glenn Danzig. Following up his billboard placing debut as a solo instrumentalist, Black Aria II carries on Jersey Elvis' spooky keyboard gimmick through twelve tracks of the same: B-grade Gothic pieces fixed with some sinister valkyrie shrieks and even a little death-moaning from the man himself. It used to be that in his waning, weight-gaining years you could at least say he still wrote some cool song titles. But while I realize he's shooting for the whole Lilith mythos, titling a track "Shidden" was probably the wrong direction to go in. Who is out there listening to this and for what purpose? The very thought of it seems illegal. This Halloween, go old-school. Before you cue up the Misfits, find a copy Morbid Angel's Blessed Are the Sick, rip "Doomsday Celebration" and start the mix out right.
