Acid King Reveals New Album Details

Acid King has unveiled the cover art for forthcoming album, "Middle of Nowhere, Center of Everywhere" (available April 14th).

The artwork for "Middle of Nowhere, Center of Everywhere" was done by tattoo artist, Tim Lehi. Lehi has done cover art and posters for High on Fire, Earthless, and Witch.

The album 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!” More...
