Sleazy and downtuned Rock 'n Roll straight from the bowels of Hades (a.k.a. Horst). Spawned from the ashes that were once known as HSML, Acid Deathtrip sets out to groove and clobber with a different vocal approach courtesy of Woooow Bobby (Cowboys from Hell). Fusing the likes of Motorhead, Iron Monkey and Alabama Thunderpussy with pagan midgets, rabid sluts and knife wielding apes as inspiration, this band is out to destroy wimps and posers alike. Let's rock.
