Lords of Acid . It was released in 1994 onRick Rubin 'sAmerican Recordings label. The album begins the band's move from the techno and rave sounds of prior album "Lust" to a heavier,industrial music style. Lyrically the band maintains their outrageous, sex-and-drugs themes. Lead vocal duties on "Voodoo-U" were performed byRuth McArdle . The album's first single, "The Crab Louse" was an ode to pubic lice.The album's cover art was available in both a censored and uncensored version — the uncensored version featuring nude, fluorescent-orange-colored
lesbian devil s having a sexualorgy . The artwork was designed by American hot-rod artist Coop.Although not as universally praised as their debut album "Lust", "Voodoo-U" earned positive reviews from music critics. With this album Lords of Acid ventured on their first world headlining tour with a full backing band.
As was the case with their "Lust" album, "Voodoo-U" was re-issued in 2001 as a "Stript" version, which removed all vocals.
