Bio:
Despite only releasing two albums, as well as a number of radio edits and an official bootleg DVD, Acid Bath have gained a strong underground following owing to the unique, experimental nature of their music.
Acid Bath are best known for blending extreme, grindcore-influenced sludge metal with a mixture of death growls and melancholic goth/grunge-style vocals and acoustic guitar passages, as well as use of sampling and the spoken word poetry. One of Acid Bath's most trademark sounds was the way in which they crafted multiple tempo changes and worked them into the song structure.
