About the Artist

Acid Bath was a seminal sludge metal band known for their raw, atmospheric performances that merged doom-laden riffs with a macabre, poetic lyrical style. Their live shows often felt like dark ceremonies, blending guttural screams with haunting melodies, evoking a visceral, almost ritualistic energy. Notably, their track "Scream of the Butterfly" exemplifies their penchant for blending heavy intensity with eerie, introspective overtones. Fans recall their concerts as charged with a grim yet hypnotic ambiance, where each song felt like peeling back layers of a bleak, surreal narrative. Despite their heavy sound, their music carried an understated complexity, often weaving in bluesy, psychedelic elements rarely found in typical metal acts, making Acid Bath a unique fixture in the southern metal scene with a cult following that still reveres their innovative, darkly poetic legacy.
