On this day 30 years ago, Danzig released their final album, 4P, on American Recordings, the last to feature the original line-up of John Christ (guitar), Eerie Von (bass) and former Circle Jerks–DOA–Black Flag drummer Chuck Biscuits.

Due to its experimental nature, it was not well received by fans of their more straightforward sound of the previous years, but has since been steadily growing in favour, and rightly so.
