History Music / LordsOfAcid

* EveryoneIsBi: Well, they don't do a whole lot of man-on-man, but the female characters in their songs tend not to be picky.

* TheImmodestOrgasm: "Stripper" [[{{Pun}} climaxes on not one, but]] ''[[{{Pun}} two]]'' as the performer encourages her audience (implied to be ''the entire club'') to... partake.

* ObligatoryBondageSong: "Rough Sex", "The Power is Mine", "Slave to Love" and "The [=ABCs=] of Kinky Sex".

* RefugeInAudacity: Oh yes.
* {{Retraux}}: "Slip 'n Slide" sounds like a mashup of Phil Spector's girl group songs with 90s arrangements. [[OutOfGenreExperience It doesn't sound like their usual style ''at all''.]] It's been likened to ''Music/BestCoast'' and the Raveonettes.
* SerialEscalation: their over-the-top lyrics flirt with this constantly.

* {{Stripperific}}: You could take a few spins on a pole to most of their songs. It's best exemplified in... "Stripper"... which is set in a strip club, to boot.

'''Lords of Acid has examples of:'''

* TheImmodestOrgasm: "Stripper" [[{{Pun}} climaxes on not one, but ''two'']] as the performer encourages her audience (implied to be ''the entire club'') to... partake.

* TheImmodestOrgasm: "Stripper" [[{{Pun}} climaxes on not one, but ''two'']] as the performer encourages her audience to give it to her.

* IronicNurseryRhyme: "Out Comes The Evil". One of their very few non-sexual songs.

** In-universe, "I Like It" has the singer walk into their boyfriend trying out all their clothes. Luckily for them both, and after some confusion,

* {{Yandere}}: "Gimme Gimme" is a song about a pop star who has fallen desperately in love with her StalkerWithACrush.

Created in 1988 by Praga Khan (aka Maurice Engelen), Darling Nikkie (aka Nikkie van Lierop and [=Jade4U=]), and Oliver Adams, Lords of Acid is notorious for its [[BrownNote hard-edged chainsaw]] techno grooves, its dead sexy female lead vocalists (currently DJ Mea), and [[RefugeInAudacity its incredibly filthy lyrics, 99% of which can't be played on US radio even with editing.]] To put it in perspective, their first single was a long and heavily looped track called "I Sit On Acid", which featured van Lierop chanting "sit on my face" and laughing orgasmically... After an opening lyric of "Darling come here, fuck me up the-". [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible The song garnered quite unbelievable critical acclaim]], and appeared in their debut album ''Lust'', exited in 1991, which also got outstanding acclaim from critics. Their second album, ''Voodoo-U'', has exited in 1994, and has a DarkerAndEdgier sound than ''Lust''. While not as well-received as ''Lust'', it still got critical praise. ''Our Little Secret'' was their third album, launched in 1997. The album contains their second hit, "Pussy". ''Farstucker'' is their fourth album, which exited in 2000, which has a more rock-influenced sound. After a decade-long break, Lords of Acid returned in 2012 with ''Deep Chills'', which is a considerable return to their original acid house sound. Oliver Adams and Praga Khan also did the soundtrack for Film/MortalKombatAnnihilation, performing as The Immortals. The band even appeared as a cameo in a porn movie.

* {{Crossdresser}}: "Long Johns"... and he's the most popular guy in the strip club as a result.

* {{Stripperific}}: You could take a few spins on a pole to most of their songs.
* UnsettlingGenderReveal: The intended audience reaction to the artwork to ''Our Little Secret'' - the front cover features a woman giving the camera a sultry look, but the CD booklet folds out to reveal a suggestive bulge in her jeans.

%% * ACupAngst: "I Must Increase My Bust"
%% * BuxomBeautyStandard: "I Must Increase My Bust"

* DoubleEntendre: Quite a few of their song names.

* WatchItStoned: "Marijuana In Your Brain", "LSD = Truth".

* InterspeciesRomance: [[spoiler:"Crablouse"]] actually makes [[spoiler:itchy parasites]] [[PerverseSexualLust sound sexy.]]
** ... Mmmmmmmaybe a brief one in "Rover Take Over"? At the least, the singer apparently got ideas by watching her dog, um, [[{{Squick}} lick himself]].

* MyGirlIsASlut: "Scrood Bi U".

* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Praga
** TheLancer: [=Die Trich=]
** TheSmartGuy: Sin
** TheBigGuy: Galen
** TheChick: Marieke

%% * BuxomIsBetter: "I Must Increase My Bust"

* HornyDevils: The cover art for ''Voodoo-U''.

Lords of Acid is a spectacularly raunchy Belgian acid house band.

* ContemptibleCover: ''Lust'' features a girl doing a [[YouCanLeaveYourHatOn striptease]], ''Voodoo-U'' features APartyAlsoKnownAsAnOrgy with HornyDevils, and ''Deep Chills'' features a painting which portrays the meanings of each song of the album in a picture (most of them are highly explicit).

** "You Belong To Me" is also about yandere and manages to combine both the obsessive and possessive themes of this trope, including a spoken word section that rather explicitly states the singer is perfectly willingly to murder her lover for cheating on her.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Ranges from 4 to 6.
* MohsScaleOfLyricalHardness: 6. Although in their thematics, it's a full-on 11.

* ACupAngst / BuxomIsBetter: "I Must Increase My Bust"
* AllWomenAreLustful: Too many of their songs to count, though "Pussy", being three minutes of girl-on-girl homoerotic trash talk, is possibly the most blatant. Not that this is saying much.
* BowChickaWowWow: Surprisingly averted (wah-wah guitar doesn't mix too well with acid house), but on a meta level, this is [=LoA=]'s entire reason for existing.
** Oh, mixing the two can be done. That's what Madchester was for...
** And porn star Alana Evans sings lead on their 2012 single "Pop That Tooshie".

** The only exceptions are ''Our Little Secret'' and ''Farstucker''... And ''Our Little Secret'' really only saves the potentially awkward imagery for the inside: The front cover depicts a fully-clothed woman giving the camera a somewhat seductive look, as seen from the waist up... [[UnsettlingGenderReveal the booklet folds out to reveal a large bulge in her jeans]].

* {{Fetish}}: Redundant. The fire's already burning out of control and it smells like perfume, leather, and sex. Invoked in the live shows. For example, during "Spank My Booty", they bring girls up onstage and [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin spank them]] with this [[BuffySpeak paddle/whip thing]].

* LesYay: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in "Pussy", which talks about... Guess.

** TheLancer: DieTrich

** TheBigBad: Praga
** TheDragon: Dave
** TheEvilGenius: Erhan
** TheBrute: Galen
** TheDarkChick: Marieke

* FiveBadBand:

** The only exceptions are ''Our Little Secret'' and ''Farstucker''.

* {{Retraux}}: "Slip 'n Slide" sounds like a mashup of Phil Spector's girl group songs with 90s arrangements. [[OutOfGenreExperience It doesn't sound like their usual style ''at all''.]] It's been likened to BestCoast and the Raveonettes.

* MoodWhiplash: In the midst of playful songs about drugs and sex, on the album ''Our Little Secret'' there's ''Man's Best Friend'', a genuinely poignant song about a prostitute who can't escape the life.
