    For everyone saying "Emo was created after Acid Bath", you're literally incorrect, and because I'm sick of having to respond to everyone saying this separately I'm just going to pin a comment explaining it, because people aren't able to do a simple Google Search. Emo was originally born out of D.C. Hardcore in the 1980s, Rites of Spring and Embrace laid down the structure for the emo genre long before Acid Bath. Emo was well underway in the early 90s with bands like Sunny Day Real Estate. When the Kite String Pops was released in 1994. Just because your understanding of emo is MCR and Fallout Boy doesn't make me incorrect.

      Acid Bath is THE underground band, when I first got into them no one even knew who they were, the internet made them more popular in 2008 and so on, I got into them in 2000, they had just broke up and were extremely underground. Nothing really can ever match the first time I heard those albums, life changing.

    I drove 4 hours through a terrible winter storm to see Acid Bath play in a smaller venue outside Scranton, PA. This would have been late 95 or early 96. It was a low-key enough venue that I just sat on one of the stage's sidefill monitors and watch the whole show. Their understated intensity was just unbelievable.Before the show I really wanted to buy one of the acid bath baby t-shirts in a L, which they didn't have at their merch table and Dax goes "come on, we've got some in our bus". Got to talk drums with Jimmy Kyle.
    Later that year, Paegan Terrorist Tactics dropped and I've never been as stoked to listen to a new album. From track one on, it's just a pitch-perfect collection of songs.

    I remember coming across Acid Bath by accident as an angst riddled 13 year old back in the days of Limewire and such. They heavily influenced my thinking going forward and despite the absurd and dark lyrics really helped me through a hard time in my life. Now I'm 32 and they're still one of my favorite bands of all time. Mad respect to Acid Bath. Easily one of the most unknown and underrated bands of all time.

    • @na-vn5qy
      @na-vn5qy 11 месяцев назад

      i think i remember the limewire thing, there were a number of low quality nu metal songs just labeled as a bunch of different popular bands - i remember briefly thinking 'whoa this must be a super group or something' and then it turned out to be generic low audio quality garbage - and acid bath was the first name on the list of bands, right? something like that.
      i discovered them by accident as well, found a 'kite string pops' cd at school one day and was hooked for life. i also found a skinlab cd at school, the kids at my middle school had some pretty good taste.
      actually i also found a fucking shaquille oneil rap cd at school too, now that i think about it, so maybe not THAT good of taste, but. if not for whoever lost that acid bath cd i may have never gotten into them. forever in whoever's debt, i am.

    I love this band. Their lyrics are seriously under-rated. Of course when I was around 12, just learning about their music right after they disbanded, I liked the faster, louder stuff. Now that I’m older, I have a new appreciation for the slower, more melodic stuff, because it remains just as heavy but also beautiful. I’m not sure how I feel about how much I relate to some of their songs. They capture horrific experiences through the eyes of sadists and serial killers, while still being sympathetic to how horrific these themes are for the victims. If you have been through certain traumas, you wonder what exactly the perpetrator was thinking. It’s somehow cathartic.

I worked with a guy from southeast Louisiana and he was shocked that I had heard of them. But I am from alabama so they were pretty big in the underground in at least a few of the southeastern states.

    As a 21yrs old i started to listen to metal since 2018 and no one in the house and growing up without a father listening to any metal only hard rock from my uncles, but two of my cousin listens to various kind of metal genre but we barely hang out due to distance of we are living and they were surprised how much i listen to this kind of music. When life catches me so bad from 2019 I've been having symptoms of metal health problem and only metal music helped me cope to my madness or anger to my own family and people used my innocence and kindness that gave me this huge wall into my life because i want to be in the military or police but i can't now becasuse i don't want to hurt innocent people because i just get mad or something and this year it becomes more aggressive that i do things that i haven't done before like hurting myself getting wounded and bleeding but i manage to enjoy it, although i still a believer but not really devoted i just use it as a guide how not to do something bad to anyone especially in physical harm. I know i don't need to talk about what's happening to me i just want to express how this band is keeping me sane and not get eaten by my own thoughts. This band really hits i can say this is the perfect band that i listen due to it's complexibility where in one track one part is very chaotic then suddenly gets slow and enjoy the riffs as same as the vocalist you can still understand the words being sang. Maybe I'm lucky i stumbled to this knowing i can't listen to this band except spotify. And i think this is why metal genre is not getting thrown outside the window by the other music genre this genre connects to the listener when they are down and just enjoy the music when they are happy. Also i never put or consider this genre is satanic it's just this genre is the harsh one and people need it too from time to time to balance things because even how good person you are you can also do bad things and it's not good if you don't know the other side. I never did any of this comment to any and just talk about myself i just need to release this and breathe, if you read this till the end thanks, sorry for my english if it's not good I'm from asia so hope you understand.

    I first saw Golgotha (soon to be Acid Bath) back in 1991 in Baton Rouge. Who doesn't love a heavy thrash metal band with a unique singer that excelled at motivatin' mosh pits on a nightly basis? I was impressed with their whole presence on stage & the sounds emanatin' from their instruments just filled the whole room with bad-ass electric tunes that synced with human aggression & wonderment. "When the Kite String Pops" remains in my top 5 metal albums of all time! Sure glad I grabbed a copy back then.

RIP audie pitre - would've loved to see where these guys could've ended up in a different timeline. such a shame.

    Goatwhore is a spiritual successor in my opinion. Many of their riffs remind me of songs that could’ve been on WTKSP. I know it is due to the fact the guitarist is a former Acid Bath member but I mean you got Jezebel and Cassie Eats Cockroaches laying out the blue print.
    PTT had a great ambience throughout too. Graveflower and Bleed Me an Ocean are the highlights of that album imo

    Goddamn, what a band.
    I'm a Louisiana native. It's almost unfortunate how relatable "When The Kite String Pops" is. Hot, humid summers - burning and drowning all at once in a dripping mess. The endless droning hum of insect sex. Wildflowers and barbed wire, Roadkill and flies. There are some cities, of a sort, few and far between. And in between, there's nothing for miles and miles. Trees and nature, so dense as to be unnavigable. The rural areas, you find people who life forgot. Some are just elderly, and watched their world disappear as the children and the jobs moved away. Some lost more than just their innocence to rampant drug abuse. And some just want something good to die for. Meanwhile, corruption poisons the well, from top to bottom. Everyone looks out for themselves and their own here, and will remember any slight you've made against them to drive in the knife at your weakest moment. Families will devour themselves over the most trivial shift in social power or economic mobility. And worst of all is that, in time, you seem to become just like them, for your own survival. I don't know if it's surprising that Louisiana hasn't created more serial killers, or if the deaths just aren't being reported correctly because of who knows who. "Welcome to the snare trap shaped like a state: here's your free gun and dark family secret."
    So, yeah, I like how Dax and this band really captured the deep-southern wasteland mood.

I'll never forget it. I was 12, 1998 I guess. He called it "Swamp metal" and went on to talk about all this southern metal that I had never heard of. Mostly sludge metal, now that I think of it. Crowbar for the win. Anyway. I hate that this band is so underrated and underappreciated in the genre. WtKSP is a fucking banger of an album. Still in rotation for me...30 years strong

    Years ahead of their time and everything that metal should be. Poetic, grinding, sludgy and brutal with screams that sound like gargling glass followed by almost type o melodic breaks.
    Everything they did still holds up today and its tragic just how short a run they had. Truly special and these albums will always have a place in my dark corrupted heart.
