Acid Bath

Acid Bath is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Alice Cooper, Celtic Frost, Carcass, Darkthrone and Black Sabbath. Those roots explain a lot about how Acid Bath arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Crowbar, Dystopia, Sleep, Church of Misery and Type O Negative, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Slipknot, Earache Records and Goatwhore, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 17 connections around Acid Bath, reaching back through Alice Cooper and forward to Slipknot.

Background

Acid Bath is an American sludge metal band from Houma, Louisiana, that was active from 1991 to 1997. Regarded as one of the first and most influential sludge metal bands, they combined a doom metal foundation with elements of hardcore punk, death metal, gothic rock, blues, grunge, and Southern rock to create their sound. The band released two albums, When the Kite String Pops and Paegan Terrorism Tactics, in 1994 and 1996, respectively, but broke up following the death of bassist Audie Pitre in a January 1997 traffic collision. They announced a reunion in October 2024.
