Danzig 5: Blackacidevil

Danzig 5: Blackacidevil is the fifth full-length album from Danzig. It was released in 1996 on Hollywood Records, and was reissued on E-Magine Records in 2000 with three extra tracks. The album is the first recorded by Danzig after its departure from producer Rick Rubin's record label, American Recordings. It is also the first album recorded after the demise of the "classic" lineup featuring John Christ, Eerie Von, and Chuck Biscuits. Only the band's leader Glenn Danzig remained, joined by drummer Joey Castillo, who had joined the band late in 1994 after Biscuits' departure, and bassist Josh Lazie, who had previously toured with Danzig as Eerie Von's bass tech and Castillo's drum tech. Guitarist Tommy Victor joined the band shortly after Blackacidevil's completion On Blackacidevil, the band's sound shifted from doomy and gothic heavy metal to experimental industrial rock.
