Acid Bath – When The Kite String Pops 2LP
Label: Rotten Records
Genre: Sludge, Doom
A malicious and deeply unsettling album that resists easy categorisation, stitching together elements of death metal, '70s hard rock, thrashing hardcore punk, and Black Sabbath-style sludge into multi-sectioned songs that are intricate yet surprisingly melodic. When the Kite String Pops remains a strikingly original and diverse metal record — one that still sounds unlike anything else, even decades after its release. Essential listening, classic NOLA sludge.
Double LP on 180-gram black vinyl, housed in a sturdy gatefold sleeve.
