Hailing from the swamps of Houma, Louisiana, Acid Bath gave us two albums of disturbing sludge, equally at home in the graveyard and the psych ward (check out those song titles!), before the untimely death of bassist Audie Pitre in a car accident. Dax Riggs delivers his southern-gothic lyrics in either a frantic scream or a lobotomized croon, the latter often filtered through a "Planet Caravan"-style effect, and all of it over thick, gluey riffs. Though sludge is the base, there are dashes of hardcore, goth, grunge, and even a bit of death and black-metal in this recipe, making for a very unique sound. It's all very nihilistic in a '90's kinda way, right down to the Jerry Springer samples and their use of a John Wayne Gacy painting for the artwork. It's easy to imagine both Marilyn Manson and Slipknot paying close attention. Acid Bath's music doesn't really sound like either band, but they seem like spiritual neighbors just as much as Crowbar or Eyehategod.

When The Kite String Pops is the more extreme of the band's two records, though the two are like fraternal twins. Good tracks include "The Blue," "Tranquilized," "Cheap Vodka," the bad-trip balldry of "Scream of the Butterfly," and a few others. They actually made a video for "Touabo Koomi," but of course it was never aired on MTV, either because Rotten Records had no pull with the network or for the band's own penchant for being inflammatory in all areas.
