Danzig-Black Aria
Black Aria is an instrumental album composed by Glenn Danzig, the vocalist/songwriter for Danzig and previously for Samhain and The Misfits. Although some of the material on the album was recorded as early as 1987, it was not released until 1992. This original release was on Danzig's old Misfits-era label, Plan 9 Records, and like his Misfits and Samhain releases, was distributed by Caroline Records. The album was reissued in 2000 on E-Magine Records, and a sequel followed on Evilive Records in 2006.
The album is largely modern instrumental classical music, and is very dark, with perhaps "gothic metal" tendencies. Select tracks from the album served as intro music to early Danzig shows, and excerpts of some songs were included on Danzig's first two compilation home videos released by Def American Recordings in 1989 and 1991. The song titles reference a sort of "soundtrack" to John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost, which describes Lucifer's rebellion from the Christian God, and his subsequent expulsion from Heaven with the angels who joined him. The final three tracks do not reference Paradise Lost, because they were written earlier by Danzig while he was still in Samhain.
All tracks were written by Glenn Danzig, who also performed most (or all) instruments. Engineering was provided by Nick Didia and Martin Schmelze (tracks 1-7) and Bob Alecca (tracks 8, 9). Female voices were provided by Janna Brown and Reneé Rubach.

Samhain-Initium
Initium is the 1984 debut album of Samhain, released on lead singer Glenn Danzig's independent record label, Plan 9. In various interviews Danzig states that the album's title, which translates from Latin to English as "beginning", represents his new start after disbanding his prior band, The Misfits, in 1983. Most of the final track, "Archangel", was actually recorded in March 1981, and was originally meant to be a Misfits song. The track Horror Biz likewise dates to Danzig's Misfits era, as it is a new version of "Horror Business" with different musical arrangements.
Also appearing on this recording are Lyle Preslar, guitarist for the influential D.C. band Minor Threat (CD tracks 2, 4, 6, and 7), and Al Pike, bassist for Reagan Youth, (CD track 9).

Samhain-November-Coming-Fire
Samhain III: November-Coming-Fire was the band Samhain's third release. It was issued in 1986 on lead singer Glenn Danzig's independent record label, Plan 9. It is considered by many fans to be the band's best piece of work, as they were evolving their own style of music, which was often described as gothic metal despite a lack of musical connections to the genre. It contains a re-recorded version of The Misfits' "Halloween II."
This was the last LP issued by the band during its existence, although some songs were recorded later for a planned follow-up LP to be called Samhain Grim, and these later found their way onto Final Descent.
This recording is marked by intense reverb, powerful vocals, and guitars treated with "chorus". As well as, what seems to be, a constant siren of sonorous feedback in the background. This sound was a staple in Samhain recordings, and most likely, came from Danzig's interest in the work of artists like Bauhaus and Alien Sex Fiend.
The album later inspired a band of the same name.

Slayer-Reign in Blood
Reign in Blood is the third studio album and major label debut by the American thrash metal band Slayer. Released on October 7, 1986, the album was the band's first collaboration with record producer Rick Rubin, whose input helped the band's sound evolve. Reign in Blood was very well received by both critics and fans, and was responsible for bringing Slayer to the attention of a mainstream metal audience. Kerrang! magazine described the record as "the heaviest album of all time," and a breakthrough in thrash metal and speed metal.
Reign in Blood's release was delayed because of concerns regarding its graphic artwork and lyrical subject matter. The opening track, "Angel of Death", which refers to Josef Mengele and describes acts committed at the Auschwitz concentration camp, provoked allegations of Nazism.[3] However, the band stated numerous times they do not condone Nazism, and are merely interested in the subject.[4] The album was Slayer's first to enter the Billboard 200; the release peaked at number 94, and was awarded gold certification on November 20, 1992
