(May 2024) Episode 567 is ACID KING. There is no such thing as a perfect band, because everyone has different tastes. But to my current taste, Acid King is as perfect as it gets. As stoner metal has emerged as my favorite kind of metal, Acid King seamlessly checks all the boxes – the loudness, the lowness, the fuzz and the backgrounded vocals. No frills, no extras, no arpeggios, no operatics. Just pure, dedicated stoner metal goodness. I love it. And notable for being fronted by a woman (Lori S), which is uncommon.
