Houma, New Orleans LA, United States (1991 – 1997)
1) Formed out of the swamps of Houma, Louisiana in 1991, Acid Bath released their first album, When The Kite String Pops, in 1994. Their second and final album, Paegan Terrorism Tactics, followed in 1996.
The band broke up 1997 after the death of bassist Audie Pitre. It’s impossible to categorize Acid Bath under one genre, as they combined sludge, doom metal, stoner metal, blues, country, and even folk in their music. The variation in their music has reached far from the underground into many hardcore, death metal, and stoner rock bands. Sweeping across many sounds, Acid Bath put forth two albums of considerable influence, opening the door for heavy metal to be versatile and emotional without sacrificing creative character or the brute force of metal.
Frontman Dax Riggs is currently a solo artist, but was singer/guitarist for Agents of Oblivion, and later Deadboy & the Elephantmen. Guitarist Sammy Duet played in Crowbar and is now in Goatwhore.
2) Acid Bath is a crossover thrash band from 1985.

Testament to how great Acid Bath was: Nearly every song in the top 15 has a heart next to it on my lists. I usually don't care for the popular songs, but even their "popular" shit is agreeable.

One of the most underrated bands ever. A best of compilation needs to come out and Bleed Me an Ocean should be released as a single.

"Wishful thinking for a 3rd album." Yeeeeaah, that's never gonna happen. It's a nice thought, but all the remaining members have pretty much moved on to their own stuff. And even if there was a reformation, it wouldn't be the same without Audie.
