Musical legacy

Despite only releasing two albums, as well as a number of radio edits and some label-endorsed bootlegs, Acid Bath have gained a strong underground following owing to the unique, experimental 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. Acid Bath merchandise is fairly rare, which only serves to heighten their cult appeal[1]. All Music Guide's William York has stated that the song "Venus Blue" could have been a radio hit "if not for the graphic lyrics"[2]. Another facet of their presentation which may not have endeared them to popular sentiment was the use of art by John Wayne Gacy, Dr. Jack Kevorkian, Richard Ramirez, and Kenneth Bianchi for the covers of their releases[3]. Grindcore, often shortened to grind, is an evolution of hardcore punk, most commonly associated with death metal, a very different though similarly extreme style of music. ...
