| Acid Bath (Music) | comment |
Acid Bath was an influential Sludge Metal band from Louisiana, formed in 1991. Their unique musical style combined sludge with elements of Black Metal, Death Metal, southern rock, and blues rock. While they are pretty much unknown in the mainstream, they have a significant underground fanbase and are considered a cult band by many.In 1997, bassist Audie Pitre was killed in a road accident by a drunk driver. The band broke up soon afterwards, having released just two studio albums during their short lifespan. Despite the short career, they are considered one of the major bands of the subgenre, alongside more long lived bands like Eyehategod and Crowbar. | |

| Acid Bath (Music) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The demos are more harsh and abrasive than the studio versions of the songs. They were arguably this to Sludge Metal, an already bleak genre, at least lyrically. | |

Ode to Intoxication | |
| Acid Bath (Music) / int_2f551929 | comment |
Ode to Intoxication: A whole lot of their songs qualify; "Paegan Love Song," in particular, was about an incident on a beach in Florida where someone offered them datura, which they took. The resulting trip apparently lasted for an incredible duration and left them in a haze after it was finally over. | |

Epic Rocking: Out of the twenty five songs making up the band's entire discography, thirteen of them hit the five minute mark or go beyond it, with Paegan Terrorism Tactics' "Dead Girl" being the longest Acid Bath song, clocking in at about 7:23 (not counting the several minutes of silence between it and the hidden track). | |

Interplay of Sex and Violence: A frequent theme. Among others, "Jezebel" is about having sex with a woman while killing her, "Cassie Eats Cockroaches" is about having sex with a woman, killing her, and then continuing to have sex with her, and "What Color is Death" is just about how the narrator gets off on death. | |

Lighter and Softer: Paegan Terrorism Tactics is ever so slightly lighter than When the Kite String Pops, with more Surprisingly Gentle Songs and a somewhat less psychotic atmosphere overall. The opening track, "Paegan Love Song", sounds positively exuberant in comparison to "The Blue", for example. | |

Drugs Are Bad: It's been confirmed by multiple members that the band broke up not just because of Audie's death (though it was the last straw), but also because of severe heroin usage and abuse by virtually everyone in the band, and songs like "Dr. Seuss Is Dead" (which is quite clearly about a bunch of heroin addicts shooting up and nodding off in a trap house) made no attempt to gloss over the reality of their usage even then. | |

Surprisingly Gentle Song: "Scream of the Butterfly", "Bones of Baby Dolls", "New Death Sensation", "Venus Blue", "Dead Girl", and compared to some of their more abrasive material, "Graveflower." Dax Riggs' material after Acid Bath also counts, having more in common with the songs listed above than, say, "Jezebel" or "13 Fingers." Don't believe us? Compare his solo songs "Say Goodnight to the World" and "Toubabo Koomi" from When the Kite String Pops; it's like night and day. | |
