Lords of Acid

Lords of Acid is a Belgian acid house band from the 1990s that started as a spinoff of Praga Khan with the controversial New Beat single I Sit On Acid in 1988. Their debut album, 1990's Lust (along with the remix singles Rough Sex and I Must Increase My Bust) became famous within the electronic music and dance music communities for their outrageously sexual lyrics and sound samples - perhaps their most popular song, I Sit on Acid, begins with the a capella lyrics "Darling, come here / fuck me up the ..." only to be interrupted with a grinding rave beat. Their second album was Voodoo-U, which featured a more industrial sound. This was followed by Our Little Secret (1997), Heaven is an Orgasm (1998) and Expand Your Head (1999). In 2000 they released a more rock-influenced album entitled Farstucker and in 2003, after being in the business for 15 years, released a Greatest Hits album. Their fans formed an online community called Children of Acid.

Lords of Acid also performed as Digital Orgasm, with a less sex-based and more rave-influenced sound.

Their name is reportedly an homage to Traci Lords.
