Question: When was the album that contains Fade to Black released?
Context: Fade into Light is a 1996 album, originally released in Japan, by Boz Scaggs that was released on September 27, 2005 in the United States.  It contains "un-plugged" versions and also re-recordings of Scaggs' most well-known songs, "Lowdown" and "We're All Alone".  Allmusic states "It's so inspired, offering a view of the many sides of Scaggs as a singer, that "Fade into Light" is a must for anyone even remotely interested in Boz Scaggs." Ride the Lightning is the second studio album by American heavy metal band Metallica, released on July 27, 1984, by the independent record label Megaforce Records.  The album was recorded in three weeks with producer Flemming Rasmussen at the Sweet Silence Studios in Copenhagen, Denmark.  The artwork, based on a concept by the band, depicts an electric chair being struck by lightning flowing from the band logo.  The title was taken from a passage in Stephen King's novel "The Stand".  Although rooted in the thrash metal genre, the album showcased the band's musical growth and lyrical sophistication.  This was partly because bassist Cliff Burton introduced the basics of music theory to the rest of the band and had more input in the songwriting.  Instead of relying strictly on fast tempos as on its debut "Kill 'Em All", Metallica broadened its approach by employing acoustic guitars, extended instrumentals, and more complex harmonies.  The overall recording costs were paid by Metallica's European label Music for Nations because Megaforce was unable to cover it.  It was the last album to feature songwriting contributions from former lead guitarist Dave Mustaine. The pair began recording together in 1990; their first activity was an engineering job for Fade to Black (aka Jay Denham), but later they debuted on vinyl with their first single, recorded for inclusion on a sampler by Network Records.  The official debut of The Advent came in 1994, just after Ferreira signed to Internal Records (also the home of Orbital).  He convinced McBean to join him in the recording of a series of crucially limited singles, then the debut album "Elements of Life" in late 1995.  Critics championed the duo's energetic update of original techno renegades like Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson, and The Advent followed with the remix album "Shaded Elementz" one year later.  Their second full album "New Beginning" was released 28 April 1997, though Internal Records dropped the duo soon after its release.  After transferring to the Metalbox division of Northwest/BMG, The Advent returned later that year with another remix album titled "Kombination Phunk", which alternated remixes with several original productions. Guerilla City is the debut studio album by West Coast Rapper Guerilla Black released on September 28, 2004. Strid is a Norwegian black metal band that was originally known as "Malfeitor" from 1991 to 1992.  After releasing two demos - "Malfeitor" (in 1991) and "Pandemonium" (in 1992), they changed their name to "Battle" and there were some line up changes at the time.  In the year of 1992 the band released the "End of Life" demo.  The demo contains only one song which is around 11 minutes.  The line up at the time of recording the demo was: Storm - on bass and vocals, Lars Fredrik Bergstrøm - on guitars and Jardar - on drums.  The guitars were written by Lars Fredrik Bergstrøm (1974 - 2014).  In 1993 the band changed the name to "Strid" which means "Battle" in Norwegian.  That same year, Strid re-released their "End of Life" demo under their new name, through the German label "Malicious Records".  After releasing the "End of life" demo, Lars Fredrik Bergstrøm left the band and was replaced by Ravn Harjar.  Through the years between 1993 and 1995, the band writes and records the self-titled EP which was released through Malicious Records and contains only two songs - "Det hviskes blant sorte vinder" which means "It Is Whispered Amid the Black Winds" in Norwegian and "Nattevandring" which means "Nightwandering" in Norwegian.  The music style and sound of this demo is more ambient/atmospheric black metal oriented.  Mainly because of this release, the band is commonly recognised as the creators of depressive black metal along with some other bands from the second wave of black metal music.  At this time the band line up contains: Ravn Harjar - on guitars, Storm - on bass and vocals and Jardar - on drums.  After the releasing of the self-titled EP, there was no any official releases by the band.  There are also bootleg releases that came out through the years like the CD from 2005 by Ars Mysteriorum and LP, each featuring both "End of Life" and the self - titled EP tracks.  In the year of 2001 the original former member of "Malfeitor/Battle/Strid", bass player and vocalist - Storm committed suicide.  In the year of 2007, the Greek label Kyrck Productions & Armour re-released all the previous material released by the band from the past which contains all "Malfeitor/Battle/Strid" material.  Somewhere between 2009 and 2010 there was a reunion of the band with old members including Vicotnik (Dødheimsgard, ex-Aphrodisiac, ex-Ved Buens Ende, ex-Manes, ex-Code, ex-Naer Mataron, ex-Endwarfment).  Another member that was part of the reunion was Lars Fredrik Bergstrøm - the main composer of the "End of Life" track.  In 2014 Lars Fredrik Bergstrøm died.  At this time the band line up contains Ravn Harjar - on guitars and vocals, Vicotnik - on bass and Sigmund (ex-Inflabitan, ex-Dødheimsgard) - on guitars.  In January 2015, Ravn Harjar wrote a statement on the official Strid Facebook page that in the autumn of the year 2015 the band will start recording their first full-length album which will be titled "Endetid".  That means "End of times" in Norwegian. "Creeping Death" is a song by the American heavy metal band Metallica, released as the lead and only commercial single from their second studio album "Ride the Lightning" (1984) ("Fade to Black" and "For Whom the Bell Tolls", from the same album, were issued as promotional singles).  Written from the perspective of the Angel of Death, it describes the (Exodus 12:29).  One of Metallica's most frequently performed songs, it has been played live 1,458 times (third only to "Seek & Destroy" at 1,484 and "Master of Puppets", at 1,553), and it has occasionally been used on various tours as the opening song of the band's set.  It stands as a classic example of the band's thrash style, albeit slower than the material on their first album, "Kill 'Em All".  The song's middle section, with its ominous chants of "Die!"  set to a phrygian mode chord progression, is a fan participation staple during Metallica shows. Mark Stewart + Maffia is a compilation album by vocalist Mark Stewart, released in 1986 through Upside Records.  It was released in the United States to promote Stewart's first two solo efforts and contains tracks from "Learning to Cope With Cowardice" on side one and tracks from "As the Veneer of Democracy Starts to Fade" on the second side.  The songs were remastered by Herb Powers Jr. for the compilation. Blue Lips is the upcoming third studio album by Swedish singer Tove Lo.  It is scheduled to be released in late 2017 by Island Records.  "Blue Lips" consists of two chapters, "Light Beam" and "Pitch Black", which collectively describe the "highs, lows and ultimate demise of a relationship."  Lo considers it to be the second half of a two-piece double album, being preceded by the chapters "Fairy Dust" and "Fire Fade" from her second studio album "Lady Wood" (2016). "Fade to Black" is a song by American heavy metal band Metallica, released as the first promotional single from its second studio album, "Ride the Lightning".  The song was ranked as having the 24th best guitar solo ever by "Guitar World" readers. Fast Man Raider Man is a solo double album by Frank Black released in 2006.
