Description
When The Kite String Pops announced Acid Bath in 1994 as something genuinely dangerous — a band channelling the murk of the Louisiana bayou into slow, crushing metal with a psychedelic streak and lyrics drawn from genuine darkness. Dax Riggs’s vocal range, swinging between a whisper and a howl, set the record apart from anything else in heavy music at the time. It remains one of the most compelling debut albums the sludge metal genre has produced.
