DANZIG / Danzig V: Blackacidevil (1996)

It's entirely possible that Glenn tripped on his unchecked ego and landed on his head prior to recording album number five. It's a fanciful idea but could explain why he chose to reportedly sack his entire band; the classic era line-up of John Christ, Eerie Von and Chuck Biscuits were history. How does one even consider sacking a guy called Chuck Biscuits? Surely one of the best names in metal.
Most of Blackacidevil is a noisy industrial mess; it's distorted, fuzzy, irritating and boring. It's the ugly child that no parent wants to pick up after school. I'm tempted to give it permanent banishment from my collection. It sullies the rest. Approach with caution. It gets 1 point for the song Ashes, which is linked below.
