'''Acid Bath''' is an influential [[Sludge Metal]] band from Louisiana, formed in 1991. Their unique musical style combined sludge with elements of [[Black Metal]], [[Death Metal]], southern rock and blues-rock. While they are pretty much unknown in the mainstream, they have a significant underground fanbase and are considered a cult band by many.
 
In 1997, bassist Audie Pitre was killed in a road accident by a drunk driver. The band disbanded soon afterwards, having released just two studio albums during their short lifespan. Despite the short career, they are considered one of the major bands of the subgenre, alongside more long-lived bands like Eyehategod and [[Crowbar (Music)|Crowbar]].

=== Tropes that apply to this band: ===
 
* [[Contemptible Cover]] - The artwork they used for their albums was done by several infamous serial killers such as John Wayne Gacy, Richard Ramirez, and Kenneth Bianchi. Also, the cover for ''Paegan Terrorism Tactics'' features a rather macabre painting by euthanasia activist, Dr. Jack Kevorkian.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: The demos are more harsh and abrasive than the "studio" versions of the songs.
Line 32 ⟶ 30:
* [[Soprano and Gravel]]: A rare non metalcore example from one man.
* [[Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion]] - Partial example from "Paegan Love Song":
{{quote| You scream,<br />
I scream,<br />
Everybody scream<br />
For morphine }}
* [[Surprisingly Gentle Song]] - "Scream of the Butterfly", "Bones of Baby Dolls", "New Death Sensation", and compared to some of their more abrasive material "Graveflower".
