Blackest of the back, darker than night.........,
By
This review is from: Black Aria (Audio CD)
Glen Danzig's 'Black Aria' is a breed apart from what he usually does and has done with his band Danzig or Samhain. Expect no guitar work here.., or vocals as such for that matter for what he's created here are dark eerie keyboard soundscapes that could I suppose be compared to that of early Mortiis and Cradle of Filths intro/instrumentals.
The music has a woeful epic feel to it with choirs of damned angels and dark majesty which takes you on a journey along the lines of Milton's 'Paradise Lost' depicting the fall of Heaven to rebel angels that comes across as something off a soundtrack. At only 23:45 mins long Glenn hasn't gone overboard with this release and has just made it long enough for the listener to want to hear more and put it on again, this would indeed be nice with a few candles on and a glass of wine, or even as a Halloween soundtrack to get you into the spirit. According to Danzig's website 'Black Aria II' should be due by now (apparently September the 19th) as it was scheduled for a summer 2006 release (obviously held back for some reason or another), this is indeed long awaited since 'Black Aria' was made in 1992 around the 'Danzig III; How The Gods Kill' era. Anyway, if this sounds like your type of thing or if you're a massive Danzig fan give it a go and you might be pleasantly surprised.

Dark, simple, appealing to the soul,
By Cory J Dickens - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Black Aria (Audio CD)
First off, when this came out, it was my favorite cd to spin when I was, well, when I was doing things my parents and girlfriend's parents were hoping we weren't doing. It's not a rock album, it's like nothing Glenn Dazig has ever done. It's a simple work of dark music. The songs, titled after various parts of the Angel war for Heaven and Lucifer's decent, each carry a weight, a seriousness, with them. Combined with a haunting choir and the howl of a wolf, classical instruments bring Glenn's work alive like nothing ever has before. The only complaint I could muster up, so I sound like I'm trying to suck up too much, is that it is simple. No complex shifts in tone or structure, the songs can bleed and make the disc somewhat hard to listen to if you're driving. That said, it's a great cd if you're out to discover Glenn's other talents, broaden your horizons from gothic metal to something more classical, or just need something to inspire your nightmares. It's a must have.

Black Aria,
By Bjorn Viberg - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Black Aria (Audio CD)
Danzig himself says that many fans will find it strange that he decided to make this album and writes about this in the book-let. This sounds nothing like the music Danzig has done in the past and he shows that he is more then just a singer for a rock band. The compositions all can be said to be minimalistic and sound like a mix between delerium and instrumental synth music a la vangelis or Jarré. Danzig is not as tallented as these fellows but still has created a nice instrumental album with some nice tracks.

A Little Something Different From Danzig,
By Curtis R. Martin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Black Aria (Audio CD)
Well, I purchased this CD when it was originally released, and I've enjoyed it from time to time. It's certainly not standard Danzig fare, and it's not bad for what it is. It's rather simplistic and repetitive, though the music is definitely beautiful and haunting. One of the main problems with this album is that it's something like 20 something minutes long. The moment one starts to really get into it, it's over. While it's nowhere near Glenn at his finest, it's definitely worth adding to the collection.
