SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20, 2015 – Acid King have unveiled the cover art for their forthcoming album, Middle of Nowhere, Center of Everywhere (available April 14).
The artwork for Middle of Nowhere, Center of Everywhere was done by famed tattoo artist, Tim Lehi. Lehi has done cover art and posters for High on Fire, Earthless and Witch.
Middle of Nowhere, Center of Everywhere was recorded at both
Sharkbite and Tiny Telephone Studios in San Francisco, mixed at
Different Fur Studios and produced by Acid King and Billy Anderson. The
digital release will be released independently via Acid King while
physical copies, both CD and vinyl, will be available via Svart Records.
“We had several songs in the works over the years that we spent
most of our time touring Europe but in between working our day jobs, we
didn’t put the effort into recording,” explained singer/guitar player
Lori S. “I really wanted to accelerate the process and get new music
out. It’s time. This music that we’ve been playing for so long, that was
initially obscure and underground, seemed to grow over these past 10
years and the timing was right to release this now!”
Acid King bubbled up from San Francisco in 1993 through a fog of
revved up riffs, thunderous drums, and a hypnotic vocal howl. They
unleashed three EPs and three full-length albums, starting with Zoroaster in 1995, the 1999 full-length Busse Woods, and their most recent release, Acid King III, coming in 2005. Their seismic chemistry transfixed audiences everywhere from high-profile festivals such as Hellfest and Roadburn to now iconic shows alongside peers such as Sleep and Mystick Krewe of Clearlight.
The band recently confirmed their participation in Desertfest,
April 24 to 26 in the UK. North American tour dates will be announced
soon.
