Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest: DenverĀ taps the Fillmore Auditorium as this year’s home of the world’s loudest, heaviest, most extreme craft beer festival.
The fatalistic beauty seems more urgent. Dax’s vocals and guitar (both often distorted) and Tessie Brunet’s feral drumming and lovely harmony vocals are here.

While many fans of Acid Bath may arch an eyebrow at Agents of Oblivion’s sauntering dirge rock, anyone drawn like moths to a flame to “Dead Girl” will get it.
Blending sludge and swamp grooves with death and noise, Acid Bath usually stay within the boundaries of melodic, ploddingly heavy, almost spiritual ugly rock.
