Heroin Man is the second and final album by American noise rock band Cherubs, released in 1994 through Trance Syndicate. The album's title, cover, and lyrical themes were influenced by the death of Dave DeLuna, a very close friend of the band. The band broke up before the album's release, following a fight between drummer Brent Prager and bassist Owen McMahon after a live show.[3] Over the years, it has gained a cult following within the American underground.[4] The band would eventually reunite in 2014, two whole decades after the release of Heroin Man.
