Pioneering disc

Acid Bath appeared in 1984 as a second plate of Alien Sex Fiend and is still the pioneering work in the field of Electro Punks. The thumping beats, who sometimes minimalist quality and the voice of Nick Fiend, which ranges from hysterical anguished wail up to monotonous chant was, at that time already an anticipation of the sound of bands like The Prodigy or Junkie XL. Underpinning the whole of metallic sounding electric guitar playing and the synth sound Walls Mrs. Fiend. Avoiding conventional digital sampling methods today of course has an effect on the sound, which is not so complex and overloaded sounds like the modern successor by far. For but everything was recorded live in the studio and damaly an ASF concert in Würzburg convinced me that people get across the professionally on stage. Opposite the vinyl version of this work are two bonus tracks on the CD (I am a product live and 30 seconds coma). The disc is a must for lovers of inappropriate electronic music (I especially avoided the term Gothic here) and is in my opinion a breakthrough of its time.
