Acid King
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Adopting the nickname of notorious teenage slayer Ricky Kasso, Acid King came screaming out of San Francisco in 1993 with a sound that fused heavy ’70s proto-metal with the kind of bleary, slow-rolling dirge power being harnessed by their contemporaries in Sleep and Electric Wizard.
The band’s 1993 debut, 10” was followed two years later by their first full-length album, Zoroaster (Sympathy For The Record Industry), which set the stage for a trio of crucial releases on Frank Kozik’s famed Man’s Ruin label, which included the EP Down with the Crown & Free. But Acid King’s acclaimed 1999 album Busse Woods would have solidified their reputation among a generation of riff worshipers, weed heads and heavy rock enthusiasts. Two decades of hard touring and sporadic recording ensued.
