Acid Bath

Acid Bath, hailing from the deep swamps of Louisiana, forged a legacy in the alternative metal and sludge metal genres with their provocative blend of Southern gothic, psychedelic rock, and death metal. Formed in 1991, the band carved out a cult status on the New Orleans live music scene, notorious for their ferocious stage presence and boundary-pushing lyrical imagery. Over their career, Acid Bath released remarkable works such as When the Kite String Pops (1994) and Paegan Terrorism Tactics (1996), with their posthumous compilation Demos: 1993–1996 (2005) maintaining the group’s influence long after their disbandment in 1997.

Even after their original run, Acid Bath's influence continues to resonate. The enduring appeal of tracks like "Bleed Me an Ocean" and "Dead Girl" is evident among dedicated fans and newcomers alike. Their impact on modern metal is further underscored by members’ subsequent projects, including Goatwhore and Agents of Oblivion, showcasing the continuing relevance of their musical innovations within the contemporary scene.

Those passionate about live music will be pleased to know Acid Bath is keeping their legacy alive on stage. In June 2026 they will headline the O2 Ritz in Manchester, and in July 2026 they join System of a Down as a support act at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, sharing the bill with Queens of the Stone Age.
