Debut of the South's finest metal band.......2007-03-01

Ever so now and then, a band comes along that really shakes things up and changes the way we listen to music. The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Metallica, and... Acid Bath?

OK, so not everyone has heard of these guys. Except for those of us in the faithful underground. Unfortunately, (or not!) some "would-be legendary" bands never achieve fame. Acid Bath is one of these bands.

This music is not for everyone. From the front cover featuring a painting by convicted serial murderer John Wayne Gacy to the chilling pulsing rythyms and dark poetry of "Scream of the Butterfly", this album does NOT pull any punches. It is dark, brooding, evil, poetic, raw, haunting and beautiful. Frontman Dax Riggs croons and screams from the deepest corners of his soul while Sammy Duet provides the torturous demonic wails that rip through many of the tracks. Every song on here is excellent, but the standouts aside from the aforementioned track are "Dr. Suess is Dead", the classic "Fingerpaintings of the Insane", "Jezebel", "Morticians Flame", "What Color is Death" and "Bones of Baby Dolls". If you have not heard this band and you are a fan of metal who can handle some dark subjects, you owe it to yourself to buy this album immediately. It is unfortunate that these guys only put out two studio albums in their short career, but they are both musical opuses.

A must have for anyone who is serious about music. SCREAM OF THE BUTTERFLY is hands down one of the best songs out there.

The beginnings of Metalcore.......2006-12-10

This isn't an album you can categorize in a certain genre.Acid Bath transcend many genres of music (Psychadelic rock, Nola Death Metal and thrash)to bring you a cd that will influence rock and metal artists for generations to come. I was 16 years old when i first heard this cd. I am now 23 years of age and it rocks even harder than it did back then. Any of you metalcore kids want to hear where Killswitch got their breakdowns or Atreyu got their gothness from then listen to this cd.The coolest tracks are Jezebel, Scream of the Butterfly, Toubabo Koomi and God Machine. The only difference between this band and metal bands nowadays is this guy can actually carry a note which is a continuing problem with metal lately. Lamb of God is cool and all but Randy Blythe should really look into taking some singing lessons soon because he sucks.Anyways get this cd because it rocks.

One of my favorite albums.......2006-11-02

This album just rocks. It can't be grouped in one genre, it really is across the board. Every genre that has already been mentioned is really present, from death to black to 70's rock to stoner to sludge to cajun etc. The lyrics are well thought out, and actually pretty disturbing if you listen to them. Not in a Cannibal Corpse, as much gore as possible sense, but in the sense of looking into the mind of a serial killer. The album cover is great, just like everything else. There's something on here for every mood. Take the opening of Cheap Vodka "With my last five/got a cheap fifth of vodka/gonna kill someone/noone's gonna stop us tonight". Just fun.

The highlights: The Blue, Finger Paintings of the Insane, Scream of the Butterfly, Doctor Suess is Dead, and Cassie Eats Cockroaches. I can't even quote a lot of the lyrics on here, but they are great throughout. Interesting musical techniques, too. My favorite: soft acoustic guitar combined with double-bass kicking on Scream of the Butterfly. Dax is one of the best vocalists out there. He goes from the clean, melancholy singing straight into a face-destroying scream, but whatever he does fits in with the music. All the instrumentalists are great: they fit in perfectly with the feel of the album. Nothing exceptional, but nothing bad at all. This album has nothing bad about it, really. I mean, sure, if you're obsessed with solos, there aren't a lot, but this isn't thrash. This album is pretty much perfect for what it is.

Original? Uh-uh........2006-10-17

I listen to this band and want to slip on some old Swans for real music! This band frightening? A nu-metal listening wimp, would think so. Personally this sounds like Swans with training wheels on. Get Cop or Filth Public Castration Is A good Idea for the REAL brutal dark and beautiful music. Acid Bath is more like Acid Re-flux.
