There cult band of Acid Bath announced, through Sammy Duet's Instagram profile, on October 15th its first concert since 1997, the year of its dissolution following the death of Audie Pitre. It will be held in Las Vegas as part of the “Sick New World” on April 12, 2025. Other bands on the bill include Metallica, Queens Of The Stone Age, Meshuggah, Refused, Melvins, Flaming Lips and many others.
With only two albums under their belt, no significant commercial recognition and the total indifference of the most transversal public, not even through successful artists, Acid Bath have earned their place in the hearts of those who conceive of metal as a starting point for building music sometimes ferocious and other lugubrious, sometimes frenetic and other lyrical. Coiners of an unstable blend of stoner, doom, sludge, death and gothic metal, also injected with blues, folk, psychedelia and grunge, they have survived the test of time and even today their songs meet the needs of those looking for a different sound, between violence, dark humor and eclecticism.
