"She smiles like a child with flowers in her hair. With blood on her hands, into the sun she stares. She feels it die, I heard her cry." Welcome in the world of Acid Bath. A sick and violent world, where serial killers roam the streets and drugs are an absolute necessity to escape the vile state of mind so often called "reality". This five-headed monster is violent, depressed, pissed-off, drunk, on acid, raging, insane, dead and rotting, and all at the same time. "When The Kite String Pops" is their message to the world.

Acid Bath’s explosive debut album, When The Kite String Pops, celebrates its’ 30th anniversary today. So I’m currently reminiscing on how this album hit me back when I was a teenager and where it currently stands.
And I gotta tell you, my friends, this album continues to have a permanent imprint on my life. The adrenaline rush from those stomping, morbid riffs. The careless attitude of those catchy southern rock leads. The unparalleled range of Dax Riggs’ vocals, who delivers some of the most twisted yet oddly beautiful lyrics I’ve ever read. This is not only my favorite sludge metal album. It is my favorite music album from the 90’s, period.
Play it wicked loud!
The kite string pops
I’m swallowed whole by the sky

While we're posting our favourite Acid Bath lyrics, this is definitely mine. What a fantastic album. "Broken glass and dirty needles Soul erosion truth Electric god Our superman found dead in a telephone booth Shards of teeth Ice pick abortions Orgasmic death so warm Lets die screamin' Black goat semen I can't hear you whisper "conform" Hearts will stop and brain cells pop Apocalyptic high She screams bloody murder as they chop off her fingers So this is how it feels to die"

Posts: 3433 Written by Boxcar Willy on 08.08.2024 at 18:59 Excellent choice! Probably my favorite bit as well. A close contender is from "Dr. Seuss Is Dead": "A cloud of flies obscure the sun A stone is dropped A dream undone Ripples grow and ride the tide The dead things crawls from deep inside With its dying Sour breath The burning smell of insect flesh Hungry things in circles crowd Around TV.s turned up too loud We are the dead next door Turned up to loud Where the dirty needles shine and litter the floor It's too fucking loud Taste the light, inject the lord It's too fucking loud I cut myself again because I'm so fucking bored"

Too many to choose from But I think Scream Of The Butterfly is just top notch. These lines get me every time. And for many years I had the opening bass line as a ringtone. Sunshine in the house of flames She loves it where she gets it But it's never felt the same Surgery, in the house of dissection When your candle burns out, I’ll resurrect you She runs Through fields of daisies Yeah, it's just a shame that they eat their own babies Who cares Cos the air is free When you get there will you kiss the dead for me? Something cold is forced inside her A tears spill down her cheek Stillborn songs of a dead dreamer Hymn's of a needle freak With sunlight in her hair she smiles like she don't care Her dreams of liquid blue I cut my self again and again to remind myself of you

This album was great. I love the vocals of Dax Riggs, he's both one of the best singers and screamers I've heard in metal. Also, great riffs, which I am an absolute sucker for.

I guess I'm reminded of stuff like Alice In Chains and Corrosion of Conformity, but this is great. That guitar tone and the monstrous riffs are to die for.
