WHEN THE KITE STRING POPS Cover art by serial killer John Wayne Gacy should give clear warning about what to expect with the sonic explosion just below the surface. Acid Bath's "When the Kite String Pops" has gained cult status among fans of death metal. More melodic and inspired by punk than more thrash-based death metal bands, this album's digital remastery better represents the talent and musicianship of Acid Bath.
