Acid Bath

Acid Bath's fusion of hardcore (vocals and speed bursts) and doom (a raw, St. Vitus-style guitar sound) has since become synonymous with the NOLA brand of metal -- sludgy, angry, and intense. More diverse than others in this field, both albums are recommended, with the first album being somewhat more varied in its approach, and the second album being a bit heavier and more focused.

Following bassist Audie Pitre's death in 1997, the band went through a period of inactivity and reflection before deciding to call it quits. Apparently the core trip of Sammy Duet, Mike Sanchez, and Dax Riggs have revived the band as of 2024.
