I think that deadboy & the Elephantmen should get it's own article.

If an article is "important" according to the above (of course, this may be controversial, and can be discussed on the article's talk page, using this policy as a guideline), it should not be deleted on the basis of it being:

insufficiently important, famous or relevant, or currently small or a stub. Xpendersx 23:38, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Vandal?

Given the other contributions by this IP address, I suspect these edits are vandalism. But I don't know. -- RHaworth 10:15, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Why is there a seperate page for Deadboy and the Elephantmen and a redirect for Agents of Oblivion? If Agents of Oblivion is going to redirect to this page, there needs to be some information about them on here.

[edit] Page protection

I've protected this page from editing for five days. The protection isn't an endorsement of either version, just a call for the editors here to defend their preferred versions with references. Please see the site's verifiability, reliable sources, and citation pages. I'd like to resolve this dispute without using any more of my sysop tools, but bear in mind that edit warring is a justifiable reason for user editing blocks.

It shouldn't be too hard to look up some CD liners and magazines. Best wishes improving the article. Durova^Charge! 08:12, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. one of the users was blocked also since he was removing the info for no apparent reason... so now i think only a few more to get rid of and this article can actually get back to my version, which uses info found on the record label page (which for some reason the users try to remove...???)-HDS

there is no rotten records page so i see no sense to link it and the line up for the band is the correct lineup cause boon was never in acid bath -- sammysatan

There are no links to many other record labels. There are also no links to most of the demos or members. should we remove them as well? your explanation is not valid enough for wikipedia, which consists of all past and related information of the band. it is to be a complete retrospect of the band. If you want to get technical Acid Bath was never on any other record labels other than Rotten, as nuclear blast only distributed the album further, not released it. It is therefore the sole record label to have released Acid Bath stuff, regardless of your opinion on how they treated the band, or what they have done. You can state the facts in a trivia section, but you cannot change the bands history to your own views, to accommodate your vision of how it should have been. -HDS

ron peterson of rotten tried to put the band in jail cause they wanted to see the record sales by trying to set them up

amd their will be band member pages up soon ill make sure of it

well there you go. you have said it yourself that the band was on the label (if the cd releases were not obvious enough). so the label belongs on the bands page. your information about the label belongs in a Trivia section. You cannot make the bands history your own views... but you can state the facts on the page.

 i know the band history  i was there from the beginning   they are not from kenner  boon was never in acid bath  and  they are all former members    and there are no current ones

[edit] Grindcore?

How can a band be doom metal and grindcore? They are essentially polar opposites.Mezmerizer 19:46, 13 July 2007 (UTC)Mezmerizer

People definitely need to chill with music genres. I'd argue that Acid Bath is probably neither a doom metal nor a grindcore band. They're sort of a genre transcending band, which is more than likely why we're still talking about them 11 years after their last album came out.Kgppra17 11:40, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

i agree... i don't personally see them as either, but especially not grindcore. i can understand the sludge metal or doom metal classification, but they are DEFINITELY NOT grindcore. personally, i'd say heavy metal is the only genre that accurately applies... they incorporate qualities of many different types of metal, but if we have to classify them specifically, i'd say sludge metal and stoner metal. I'll remove the grindcore classification, because it is highly inacurate, if anyone has a problem with this, i apologise. - AeturnalNarcosis 13.Aug.2007

they definitely have some grindcore riffing sometimes. that was part of how they pulled off the tempo changes... meander in the slow bluesy sludge stuff, then break into hyper grind chromatic stuff. the fast part of toubabo koomi where the drums drop and he sings "i slept the last mile..." definitely has a grindcore sound to it.

[edit] Musical legacy part

"Acid Bath are best known for blending extreme, grindcore-influenced sludge metal with a mixture of death metal growls and melancholic goth/grunge-style vocals and acoustic guitar passages, as well as use of sampling and the spoken word." This is too convoluted. Any ideas on how to fix that? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kgppra17 (talk • contribs).

Do they really have growls in any of their songs? To be honest I haven't heard much of them, but none of the songs I heard have growls. I could be wrong though. Doppelganger 02:13, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
