==== Recent activity (2005β2011)==== In 2005, Danzig's tours to support the ''Circle of Snakes'' album and the Blackest of the Black Tour were highlighted by the special guest appearance of Misfits guitarist [[Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein]]. Doyle joined Danzig on stage for a 20-minute set of classic Misfits songs: "To do this right, I invited Doyle to join Danzig on stage at 'Blackest of the Black' for a special guest set. This is the first time we will be performing on stage together in 20 years. It's the closest thing to a Misfits reunion anyone is ever going to see."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.knac.com/article.asp?ArticleID=3219|title=Danzig Announces 'Blackest of the Black' Tour Lineup|last=Jones|first=Sefany|date=September 3, 2004|publisher=[[KNAC]]|access-date=June 2, 2011|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111222155001/http://knac.com/article.asp?ArticleID=3219|archive-date=December 22, 2011 }}</ref> On October 17, 2006, he released his second solo album, ''[[Black Aria II]]''.

The project took nine months to complete with Glenn Danzig having to add extra vocal and instrument tracks to songs that had been unfinished.<ref>''The Lost Tracks of Danzig'' liner notes</ref> The album included the controversial "White Devil Rise", recorded during the sessions for ''Danzig 4'' in response to inflammatory comments by [[Louis Farrakhan]] and his use of the term "The White Devil".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/glenn_danzig_talks_on_new_album.html|title=Glenn Danzig Talks on New Album|date=May 31, 2007|publisher=UltimateGuitar.com|access-date=April 20, 2010|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100417094808/http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/glenn_danzig_talks_on_new_album.html|archive-date=April 17, 2010 }}</ref><ref name="MTV" /> The song is Danzig's conjecture as to what would happen if Farrakhan incited the passive white race to rise up and start a race war: "No one wants to see a race war.
