The mostly instrumental album is a departure from Danzig's earlier work in metal and punk rock, and debuted at number 1 on the American Billboard classical chart. The original release was on Glenn Danzig's own 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. A third reissue occurred, again on Danzig's Evilive label in conjunction with Cleopatra Records, in July 2023, along with Black Aria II.
