Acid King’s “Beyond Vision” is a mesmerizing journey into the heart of heavy, atmospheric sludge. Released in 2023, it solidified their reputation for crafting dense, feedback-drenched soundscapes that are both haunting and hypnotic. Lori S.’s iconic, fuzz-laden guitar riffs anchor the album, weaving intricate patterns that can shift from crushing weight to ethereal beauty within a single track. The rhythm section of Joe Brooks and Dave Hayes provides a powerful, yet often understated, foundation, allowing the guitars to soar and plunge. “Beyond Vision” isn’t an album for the faint of heart; it demands surrender to its murky depths, rewarding patient listeners with a profound sense of sonic exploration and a truly immersive, almost lysergic, experience.
