More About Acid King
"What do you do at this point in your career when you've been around for so long?"That's Lori S. from San Francisco's Acid King. These days she's asking the big questions. The storied guitarist and frontwoman has been building her electric empire riff-by-riff for nearly 30 years. Though Acid King's lineup may change Lori remains the driving force and master cylinder. 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 it would be Acid King's acclaimed 1999 album Busse Woods that solidified their reputation amongst a generation of riff worshipers weed heads and heavy rock enthusiasts. Two decades of hard touring and sporadic recording ensued. The band released III in 2005 on Small Stone records and--after parting ways with the musicians who played on 2015's Middle Of Nowhere Center of Everywhere--Lori formed a touring lineup that concluded with the Busse Woods 20th Anniversary tour in 2019. Lori wasted no time pondering her next move. The sweeping lockdowns that attended the great plague of 2020-2022 provided the opportunity to collaborate with Black Cobra guitarist/vocalist Jason Landrian and the result is the band's latest 2023 release on Blues Funeral Recordings "Beyond Vision." Making the Billboard Top 100, this release is unlike anything Lori S has written before.
