Two things...

1 - shit is tight.

2 - The picture of the little kid in the beginning and the torn face zombie picture is from Shel Silverstein's "A Light in the Attic". I remember reading that shit when i was 8. Twas Bad ass.

excluding the sampler, midi controller keyboard, and computer of course.

Except in a live situation where a drum machine and a loop effect sound like utter shit and lacks any sort of energy and organic feel. Fruity loops and sound maximizers dedicated to nothing but soundscapes were cool for like 10 minutes until you realized shit was hollow and monotonous.

Chesky records would disagree with you.

There are exceptions always, but through and through underground scenes blasting mixes through a Korg 8 and 1,200 watts of maladjusted power tends to have shitty results

Dax Riggs... of acid bath fame? Or a different dax riggs? I'd just be surprised if we actually liked the same thing.

Same dude, you'd be surprised to know he grew up here in Evansville, IN his parents still live here and he visits the state form time to time and I've had the opportunity to play with him on several occasions at the Dojo

that's really awesome. I always loved how he made shit up in interviews (or maybe it was someone else from the band?). For instance he made up a story about how John Wayne Gacy drew the art for their first album because he was a fan of their music (something which is verifiably not a true story but still kind of funny).

It's all theatrics, kind of like how GWAR behaves in interviews or how the run-of-the-mill death metal band portrays themselves, Acid Bath themselves were greatly influenced by cult and horror films, sociopaths, drug culture, and other social abnorms so it wouldn't surprise me if they "talked it up" in interviews hah

Listening to "When the kite string pops" you can make out in songs like "Cassie Eats Cockroaches" Clockwork Orange references and soundbytes and the song "Scream of the butterfly" is blatantly about abortion

[Loke]

I don't think you can even really call Ariel Pink underground anymore - but retro (at least inspiration wise) and baller applies...

Dax isn't bad, but fuck all you musicians who get up on stage with a tight white v-neck and reflective aviators. BE ORIGINAL.
