Louisiana group Acid Bath achieved a good deal of notoriety in the nineties for their musical ability of blending extreme grindcore-influenced sludge metal and death growls with a mixture of melancholic Goth-style vocals, spoken word, and acoustic guitar passages. Their combination of stoner and doom metal roots with influences from hardcore, black metal and blues-rock created a unique sound that influences many bands today. ?This record is like a rollercoaster ride. It's fast and slow-paced at times but you always know there is a good thrill around the bend? Attention grabbers include the stamp of ?New Corpse?, ?Locust Spawning?, and ?Bleed Me an Ocean.? To keep up with the theme of the album, the band has included a painting by ?Dr. Death? himself, Dr. Jack Kevorkian (called ?For He Is Raised?), to serve as the cover artwork.
