| Acid Bath returned in late '96 with a slightly more refined version of their depraved southern sludge. All of the same ingredients are still in place from the debut: the lurching doom riffs sometimes pierced by feedback, the occasional hardcore sprints, and Dax's schizophrenic vocal performance. He screams like a madman sometimes, then sings like a smacked-out bluesman just as easily. The band's oh-so-'90's shock tactics ar still prominent as well: it's a Kevorkian painting on the cover this time, and Dax still writes bad goth poetry that would have got him kicked out of high school. This album is both heavier than the debut (songs like "13 Fingers" flirt with black-metal), and softer (particularly the acoustic lament of "Dead Girl"). But there are also a few songs that are almost radio-friendly, particularly the woozy, disorienting ballads "Graveflower" and especially "Venus Blue." Despite the more diverse sounds, I think the songwriting is tighter and the album hangs together better

| ... as a whole. Do we really need two tracks of Dax reading his poetry in a digitally-deepened voice? No, not really, but one of them's the hidden track, after what feels like four hours of silence at the end of "Dead Girl." But they feed into the whole tripping-in-the-graveyard atmosphere. There was just something rotten in the south back then. Sammy Duet went on to join Crowbar for a few albums, then formed the more extreme-minded Goatwhore, while Dax (and I think Mike Sanchez?) put out an album of reworked Acid Bath leftovers under the name Agents Of Oblivion. Dax then formed the indie-rock group Dead Boy and the Elephant Men, who were hailed by the likes of Rolling Stone. He showed little interest in even talking about Acid Bath, much less reuniting (almost like he was embarrassed as a grown-up), until earlier this year. Too bad—they were way cool, though now they seem a product of a bygone era.
