When The Kite String Pops is the debut album of the now-defunct Louisiana metal band Acid Bath. It was released on August 8, 1994 and is considered an underground classic. The album's artwork is a painting made by notorious American serial killer John Wayne Gacy, while in prison awaiting execution.

In 1999, sales of the album were just over 37,000 copies in the US, an incredible feat for a band with no publicity at all and releasing exclusively on a local indy label.[1]
