BLACKACIDDEVIL was essentially a Glenn Danzig solo project done with new collaborators (including Jerry Cantrell) after the original DANZIG lineup split. The musical direction here is much more influenced by the Industrial Metal of bands like Nine Inch Nails than his prior work. It's an attempt to imbue this industrial sound with Danzig's trademark blood and gore creepiness. What he actually achieves is to create a monotonous, over saturated sound mix with buries his vocals in effects. There are few hooks that really sink in, aside from maybe "Hint Of Her Blood". His reinterpretation of Black Sabbath's "Hand Of Doom" is a half hearted mudfest that doesn't even bother to recreate the bridge section. The natural drums are nice to hear, but do seem almost out of place among the repetitive beats that dominate this album. I've heard worse, but it is the sort of record you just want to hurry up and end.

Quite possibly the most underrated and underappreciated album ever recorded. The only thing this album is guilty of is being way ahead of it's time.

This is such a pile of crap. It lacks everything that made the first 4 Danzig albums refressing.

I really don't get it. The album is not worst songwriting-wise, but I just can't listen to it. I mean, Glenn has awesome voice, but on this album all you can hear is distortion. Guitars are distorted and riffs are just noise. The drum beats annoy me too. Really it's a shame, because some songs are good, only if they were "normally" recorded.

Trying to keep with the times perhaps? The Industrial music genre was in full swing at the time and Glenn was feeling experimental, but ultimately a very very poor attempt, landing it somewhere between sub-par danzig and sub-par industrial. Don't bother

whether you're looking for a danzig album or some decent industrial tunes, you had best look elsewhere.
