Acid King is stoner doom royalty, and Beyond Vision is their first new album since 2015's Middle Of Nowhere, Center of Everywhere.

Recorded by longtime producer Billy Anderson, the album's songs flow into each other without beginning or ending, propelled by an undulating, lysergic pulse that traces the winding path of interplanetary existence and takes listeners wherever they'd like to go.

With blistering guitars and swirling power dirges aplenty, Beyond Vision began as an experiment and became the path to a silver future, marking the dawn of a new era for the band who built the template for thundering, swinging doom.

Press Quotes

Judging by the sound of expansive lead single 'Beyond Vision,' fans are in for a helluva trip with this collection... taps into the hazy, muffled churn that Acid King helped pioneer, but there's an added dose of trippiness in the way the specter-like vocals float in the mix, and the dual guitar/bass solo that closes out the tune 'Beyond Vision' is more bluesy than bashing.

     —Revolver

Acid King is back for the first time since 2015 with new record Beyond Vision. Due out March 24, the album touches on life and death in the furthest reaches of space, and runs together as one massive 43-minute long song!

     —Metal Injection

The San Francisco doom vets release their first album in eight years, which finds them less in metal territory and leans more directly into '60s-style psychedelia and the avant-garde.

     —Brooklyn Vegan

Although this record contains many hallmarks that have long linchpinned the sound of Acid King, Lori Joseph's compound songsmithing and continued evolution as a slow-burning six-stringer are readily apparent.

     —Guitar World

'Beyond Vision' is a haunting cinematic adventure with enough suspenseful twists and turns that even the most critical listener will be demanding a sequel. 4.6 out of 5.0

     —KNAC.com

Five albums in 30 years may not seem like a lot, but when those albums are as good as 'Beyond Vision', the notion that ACID KING have used their time wisely, not wastefully, is hard to argue with.

     —Blabbermouth

Beyond Vision is a gourmet treat for your headphones--or you could blast it through speakers and wait for your neighbors to thank you for turning them on to Acid King's warm, heavy sounds.

     —Chicago Reader

Beyond Vision makes the wait worth it with thick riffage, heavy psychedelia, wandering-but-not-lost compositions and positively hypnotic vocals. The songs are long and the jams are extended, but that's why you're here, right?

     —MetalSucks

It was already long past time to start thinking of Acid King among the greatest acts heavy rock and roll has ever produced. Beyond Vision brooks no argument in sealing their place among these giants.

     —The Obelisk
