The Almighty.... ACID KING


Acid King
"Down With The Crown"
Man's Ruin (RIP)
1997



"Down With The Crown" by Acid King and "Wanted Dead or Alive" byAltamont were both 10"s released by Man's Ruin Records that were then later reissued as a split, which is super appropriate since Altamont has Dale Crover and Acid king has his (now ex) wife Lori S. I had a bitch of a time tracking this down for some reason so I thought I would share it with my fellow "Glovers". First up is "Teen Dusthead" by Acid King. Let me try to sum this up as quickly as possible: it's dirty, fuzzed out, smooth, heavy and psychedelic. It's usually hard for me to be sold on female vocals for some reason but i fully enjoy Lori's vocal efforts on this. This was the EP that sold me on Acid King after hearing a good amount of material like "Busse Woods" that I was unsure about, so be sure to give this a shot if you feel the same way.

Track Listing
  1. Teen Dusthead (Peep the weaponry here)
