Dax has masterful clean vocals and I have since followed him and his adventures after Acid Bath as much as I have Sammy and Goatwhore. I simply had to buy this record but controversially, I can forego the first three tracks on the album and listen to “Finger Paintings of the Insane” with its beautifully sounding opening bass lines from Audie before the stunning vocals from the hugely underrated Dax Riggs.
Remember the UK heavy metal show that was put on late at night at some ungodly hour called Noisy Mothers? It was back in 1995 I think when I heard the song “Toubabo Koomi” with its mixture of groove, clean and rough vocals, and overall sound of the band where every instrument can be heard. But this post is more for the music and the band Acid Bath, for an album that I know word for word and will always be heralded in the metal underground. The only issue with getting new fans to hear the band is an ever going dispute with the record label that forbids social media sites like YouTube from ever playing any song from the album and is immediately taken down.
An album of this quality should be given multiple listens by any extreme metal fan. Acid Bath’s admiration for serial killers, blood, sex and blasphemy on this debut album was rife and mixed with the Earth shuddering riffs of sludge metal. Designed and painted by serial killer John Wayne Gacy before his execution, Pogo the Clown can be seen menacingly smiling with a bunch of coloured balloons. One look at the front cover should give you an idea of some of the lyrical content within. Acid Bath were part of the NOLA scene back in the day and were based among the swamps of Houma, Louisiana, and with nothing better to do than getting together, getting high and jamming some songs, Acid Bath were formed.

Musical differences played their part, too, with Sammy Duet forming Goatwhore and letting free his black and death metal leanings. Formed in 1991 and only surviving six years before they disbanded after the untimely death of Audie Pitre due to some drunken arsehole driver, amongst other reasons. Well as I am now writing my 200th article for Moshville Times and the fact that When the Kite Strings Pop is approaching its 25th anniversary next month, it felt a perfect time to make this an album that I urge you all to check out.Īcid Bath are one of those bands that the vast majority of metal folk have missed yet the few people that have heard them, worship them, and I worship Acid Bath. Now, I bet you were not expecting this from me, were you? What with me being all things death metal and all.
