Sludge Metal Cult Icons

When it comes to influence on heavy metal, few bands have made as big a mark as Acid Bath. Hailing from Louisiana, Acid Bath were pioneers of the 'sludge metal' sound - a subgenre of metal that focuses on huge heavy crushing guitar riffs, thick and brooding guitar tones, all mixed with psychedelic textures. Their iconic album 'When The Kite String Pops' influenced generations of bands, its errie yet brutal sound have infiltrated hard rock, metal and hardcore punk. For fans of heavy metal, or just music that pushes boundaries, look no further than Acid Bath.
