Been an Acid Bath fan since 96"!! 🤘🤘🤘

[@scusemewhileiwhipout]

thanks for the shout out! also, another kick ass local band, the Dreadfields, will be performing with us!

[@chrisgreenfield518]

I hope they tour on their own too. Thanks for putting this out.

[@acidoblivion]

On bass will be Alex Bergeron - he played in Agents Of Oblivion and other Dax projects

[@clotslurp]

Zack Simmons of goathwore is gonna be in the drums!

[@nicksivds]

I saw them several times in and around Lafayette, La. back in the mid 90’s. Those shows were some of my favorite memories as a teen. I will never forget the drummer sneaking me into a show once by letting me carry a piece of his kit in. I was only 17 and to my horror it was 18 and up… they were great guys. I hope this isn’t a one time show so I can see them again!!!!

[@brutalplanetmagazine]

That drummer story is so cool.

[@jfoust7945]

ACID FUCKIN BATH!!!!!!!

[@trevorcheramie22]

I'm from the same area of South Lafourche, Louisiana. Their music was, is, & always will be the greatest combo of creative creatures in all music. This is world changing news!!!!!!!.......

[@wesleylynchjr.]

ACID BATH this blows my mind. I know every word to every song they ever played.

[@VinMetal666]

I really never thought this day would come

[@Messianide]

Bassist from Agents of Oblivion, drummer from Goatwhore

One of my wildest dreams come true!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@Kitchenwitch1885]

Thank The Gods!

[@LotusCordova]

Alex Bergeron (Agents of Oblivion) will be on bass

[@brutalplanetmagazine]

Oh fuck yeah!! Thanks for the update!!

[@craven1927]

I know Alex from way back with Fuel/Fractured. Glad to see him be a part of this, they used to open for Acid Bath all the time.

[@nancyperkins2277]

I saw it right after it was posted on Dax's page which I've been following on Facebook for years. I thought I was dreaming but I'm not. I saw what I've been told was the last Agents gig of their one tour. I don't know how but I'm really going to work on getting there.

[@labearhawk]

I'm so fucking pumped for this. I use to sneak into Breezy's in Lake Charles when I was underage to see Deadboy. Acid Bath has been my favorite band since high school and I'm approaching 40 now, lol

[@bigdaddypiggy]

The new Dax song is amazing 🖤🤘🏻

[@brutalplanetmagazine]

I was really impressed

[@bobbyllockhart7829]

The new Dax song is good!

[@chriswalkin4952]

I always thought New Orleans was the skyscrapers that "look like gravestones from out here."

[@allanokeefe104]

@@chriswalkin4952 everytime I see a city high rise from a distance I think of that lyric now.

[@brutalplanetmagazine]

brilliant

[@craven1927]

Also, yes the band was from Houma. I grew up there and used to see them play all the time. I was in high school when they put their demo out. The members were all from the surrounding area, Houma was kind of the central location and the biggest city in that area. They were not a New Orleans band, everyone just lumps every band from Louisiana into New Orleans because that's the only city they know lol. They played there but it was a bit of a different scene. Oh, and on the spoken word poetry that was how they always opened every show. The band would be on stage making random feedback noises while Dax read (always something different) poetry before kicking into their set.

[@brutalplanetmagazine]

Yeah I figured that was the case, no one knows anything but New Orleans.

[@christx4482]

Hope they play a show in Louisiana, this festival sounds like a shit show.

[@causerDAguv]

I can't believe it's finally happening

[@SamTucker-ql2kp]

The skyscrapers look like gravestones yeah from up here

[@brutalplanetmagazine]

Been singing this lyric all morning tbh

[@Smashmilk]

As a Louisiana native who was a bit to young when they were still together to see them . Im trying to figure out which organ i can sell to go to this show ....lets gooo

[@jabuhrer1]

Fuck yes

[@seankyser]

Fuck yes. 90’s are back baby

[@johnmorrison5502]

Doesn’t look like jimmy Kyle is joining. It Zack Simmons(Goat Whore) on drums. The Acid Bath Wikipedia’s has the members updated

[@jerryrocketandthegogogirls3517]

Now if we could just get Gulch back 😢😢😢

[@GOATLABDISCORDIA]

Betting money Nola locals are getting a preview this Saturday at the Twist of Lime 🤫😉

[@Messianide]

Corey Taylor wanted to sing for a reunion

[@Wytedevil]

I dont believe you

[@Messianide]

@@Wytedevil he said in an interview. He's a huge fan, and said the last slipknot album had a homage to Acid Bath.

[@brutalplanetmagazine]

Dope that he's a fan of the band

[@joeywilliams2675]

I’ve done sick new world twice. It’s not that bad. It’s pretty well structured man. You get set times etc. the first year i went I was worried about it all being in 1 day but it flows pretty well.

[@brutalplanetmagazine]

Good to hear, I have heard a lot of negative stuff about it.

[@craven1927]

Alex Bergeron (Agents of Oblivion) on bass and Zack Simmons (Goatwhore) on drums. Although that could be tentative, no word yet on Jimmy Kyle (original drummer). Also, Sammy's last name is pronounced "do-A" You don't pronounce the "t" at the end, that's a cajun/French name 😉

[@MRSludgedude]

Jimmy won't be back. He's a devout Christian now. Two new members. Heard Sammy will be screaming and dax will do the cleaner parts.

[@brutalplanetmagazine]

I love the comments for stuff like this!

[@allanokeefe104]

Where did you hear about who's doing what vocally? Thats a BIG responsibility on Sammy's shoulders and would find Dax standing on stage twiddling his thumbs for quite a large amount.

[@MRSludgedude]

@@allanokeefe104 In an interview he said he can't scream like that anymore. So I'm sure he will sing while Sammy and Mike scream. It's listed they will all three be on vocals.

[@allanokeefe104]

@@MRSludgedude yeah I remember reading something like that....but also he was very reluctant to even talk about Acid Bath in the past and very quick to shoot down any reunion talk. Maybe said he couldn't sing like that anymore to change the subject haha. There is definitely songs he and Sammy could go back and forth but Cassie or Cheap Vodka just wouldn't be the same without Dax

[@Wytedevil]

Dax has to scream or this will be very dissapointing, starting now these guys better get their set list dialed in and practice every freaking week!

[@psyclownz91]

hoooooly shit!!!

[@Amanthius]

Hell yessssssssssss

[@Messianide]

I want new music!

[@icepick3528]

Ok so, its not pantera without dime and vinnie? Well then i guess its not acid bath without audie. I guess?

[@Messianide]

Inspired by the new Linkin Park most likely. Not Pantera. That was 4 years ago lol

[@brutalplanetmagazine]

Maybe even Slayer though... since King is out promoting a solo project and Slayer did a one off show... so far that's kind of what this is. Dax has a solo record coming out and only one Acid Bath reunion show booked.

[@mushroomleg]

Need Jimmy Kyle. What the heck?

[@Wytedevil]

I know wtf! His drumming was ahead of its time and is some of my favorite drumming

[@GerillaWelfareRadio1]

Grindcore!? Get a clue

[@Wytedevil]

Right lol i was like, no they are not grindcore they are sludge metal with elements of death metal, punk, and maybe some doom metal

[@brutalplanetmagazine]

This type of "This band belongs to this specific branch genre" bullshit is the one thing I will scoff at loudly. They're a METAL band who blends a lot of different elements including baroque and folk music... I give a runny diarrhea shit which metal subgenre you do or don't think they belong in.

[@Wytedevil]

@@brutalplanetmagazine Well when you make a stupid comment people are gonna correct you, you don't have to cry about it just admit you're wrong

[@Wytedevil]

@@brutalplanetmagazine Maybe heed your own advice and when you were talking about them you could of just said they're a metal band but you're the one that chose to say they're a grindcore band so you're the one who got specific with the genre they are 🤣

[@thefuneralparade]

Dax Riggs a few years ago said he liked my bands copyrighted name FUNERAL PARADE..

[@thefuneralparade]

That tour is a who's who of trendy bands ..except Acid Bath

[@thefuneralparade]

I don't like any of th other bands at all.lacuna coul hasn't been any good since theyr first album.

[@brutalplanetmagazine]

There are a ton of great bands on there... Glassjaw, Tomahawk to name a couple off the top.

[@thefuneralparade]

God no Corey...wtf...that will kill acid bath w trendy b.s.slipknot sucks.buncha nu metel rejects..ACID BATH will become a trendy shitball if corey taylor gets involved.no no and no.this is horrible news.only Dax will work w Acid Bath.

[@Wytedevil]

Calling Metallica or Meshuggah trendy is one of the dumbest things I've ever read in my life, do you even understand what a trend is or how to use that word 😂🤦‍♂️

[@brutalplanetmagazine]

It would just be interesting to hear is all

[@thefuneralparade]

I mean no offense but....carcass really.ACID BATH sound nothing like carcass at all.or any GRINDCORE...lol .they have death an black metal influences.but they are tiny little sprinkles here and there.Sammy did all th lil bit of screaming on th albums.Dax sings.w a tiny bit of yelling.no GRINDCORE in sight.

[@thefuneralparade]

Acid Bath are NOT GRINDCORE...why'd you say that..have you ever heard them honestly?

[@brutalplanetmagazine]

Miss me with the: "I believe this band belongs to this specific branch genre of metal" dork bullshit... they're a metal band. Anything outside of that is conjecture.
