Influenced by thrash metal as well as bands and artists such as Black Sabbath , Alice Cooper , Celtic Frost , Carcass , and Darkthrone , Acid Bath recorded their demo Hymns of the Needle Freak with their manager and producer Keith Falgout in 1993. The strength of the demo earned them a deal. They released When the Kite String Pops on the Rotten Records label produced by Spike Cassidy in 1994, followed two years later by their second and final effort, Paegan Terrorism Tactics (also produced by Keith Falgout and also on the Rotten Records label). Neither gained them mainstream success, but both albums earned substantial underground acclaim. In 2005, another album composed of their demos, Demos: 1993–1996 , was released by Rotten Records.
