a) Have you heard of/listened to them? If so, what is/was your favorite, or their "best" song? b) What musical "genre" would they be considered? (I've heard death, and speed metal.) Oh, and if you think they suck(ed) feel free to share how much

PS: Ever heard anything by the Agents Of Oblivion? If so, what did you think?

Thanks
 
I've been listening to them for quite a while. As for my favourite song, that's a hard choice. The Bones of Baby Dolls and Finger Paintings of the Insane are my two favourite tracks... The genre, I've always seen them referred to as sludgecore, but I'm not a big fan of genre names.

Agents of Oblivion's self titled is a nice album, but pales in comparison to Dax's stuff with Acid Bath. Still worth listening to occasionally, especially for the re-make of Dead Girl.
 
Acid Bath are one of my favorite bands ever...amazing band...my favorite songs are probably The Blue, Toubabo Koumi, and Bones of Baby Dolls off Kite String...and Paegan Terrorism favorites are Bleed Me An Ocean, Venus Blue, and Dead Girl...as for trying to place a label on them that would be IMPOSSIBLE...I'm also a big fan of Agents of Oblivion they were a great band as well..if you haven't already check out Dax's new band Deadboy and The Elephantmen..it's good stuff sort of along the lines of the material he did with Agents..
 
I have to agree, one of my favorite bands. I always considered them Stoner Metal/Rock (I HATE that term, but it's the genre that most accurately describes them, to me, something just shy of traditional Doom), I don't really see them as being Sludge most of the time, maybe at certain moments. When I think of Sludge I think of bands like EyeHateGod, Crowbar, stuff like that. They're a pretty diverse band though, within what they do. I can't really name a favorite song, but Bleed Me An Ocean is up there.
 
Acid Bath is kinda half doom, half sludge/stoner rock. Very brooding, but still very good. My personal favorites are The Blue, and Screams of the Butterfly. It sucks that their CD's are a pain in the ass to find.
 
DUDEZ! i love this band too. this was one of the first "extreme" bands i ever got into. i never knew what to call them either! i cant remember what my favorite songs were, but i did especially like the acoustic ones, because they are so creepy sounding. yay, acid bath.
 
I have doubts that there's a metalhead on the planet that doesn't like and appreciate Acid Bath. My favourite song is Dead Girl, with plenty coming in close second, and i'd say they're technical progressive pornogrind.

Take a trip down south and you'll find their cds without any trouble...although I can't imagine not being able to find them elsewhere though..their popularity really began to bloom after they broke up..

pornogrind?? okay, no. Pornogrind = Anal Blast....Acid Bath??? pornogrind?? I'm sorry I'm just real confused on how they could be pornogrind. Lyrically they really don't have much sexual perversion..and I've combed through them enough times to know that. I just think you could turn ALOT of people away from them by giving them that label..I don't agree.
 
Acid Bath RULE!! :rock::rock::rock::rock::rock::rock:

Their DVD really is awesome...I love all of the bootlegged shows on it.

As for my favorite songs...man this is hard, I guess I will have to go with:
In no specific order:
Finger Paintings of the Insane
Bleed Me an Ocean
Jezebel
Venus Blue
Scream of the Butterfly
The Mortician's Flames
Live Version of In A Gadda Da Vidda (Cover, obviously!)

Every song by these guys was a masterpiece, and Daxx Riggs is one of the best lyricists/poets there ever was.

Check out Agents of Oblivion and Elephantman and the Deadboys, Daxx's 2 other bands.

I could get them from amazon.com (or possibly theend), but the record stores near me don't carry them. I saw Paegan Terrorism Tactics like twcie, but it always sells quickly. I have yet to see When The Kite Strings Pop anywhere near me.

I believe you mean...Deadboy and the Elephantmen...

hey man, are you from louisiana by any chance? i just notice you like acid bath, and obviously soilent green. soilent green's going to be starting to play again! can't wait to see 'em, its been too long already since the last time i saw them.

oh and on the acid bath subject, i'd have to say my favorite songs are god machine, jezebel, the blue... although all are good. i like agents alot as well.
