Ground Into the Dirt is the third and final album by the noise rock band King Snake Roost, released in 1990 through Amphetamine Reptile Records.

Release and reception

David Sprague of the Trouser Press said that Ground Into the Dirt "proffers a sound at once burlier and more graceful, not unlike Killdozer fused with Funkadelic" and that it was the best place to start for those unfamiliar with the band.^[2]
