Acid Bath was a heavy metal band from Louisiana, formed in 1991. They were signed to Rotten Records.
Dax Riggs and Mike Sanchez, however, did go on to perform in Agents of Oblivion releasing one self-titled album until that also ended. Dax formed and is currently in Deadboy and the Elephantmen. Sammy Duet helped create Crowbar, but has since, left the band.
Despite only releasing two albums, as well as a number of CDs of radio edits and some label-endorsed bootlegs, Acid Bath have gained a strong underground following owing to the unique, experimentative nature of their music. Acid Bath are best known for blending extreme, grindcore influenced sludge metal with a mixture of death metal growls and melancholic goth/grunge-style vocals and acoustic guitar passages, as well as use of sampling and the spoken word. This unique musical blend still gains the band much critical acclaim almost a decade after their untimely demise.
