Acid Death

An interesting sound here, this Greek band going for a blend of death, thrash, and even a touch of progressive metal, with traditional death metal vocals over the top. There is a fair amount of diversity in the music, so that even with the samey vocals, the songs contain a degree of individuality, and the musicianship is quite solid without being over-indulgent. Random's Manifest is the only album reviewed here -- other reviews suggest that the previous album, Pieces Of Mankind, might be better, if more thrash-based. Nevertheless, Random's Manifest is quite a find and worth a a listen. The band formally announced its breakup in August of 2001, citing the reason as "it is better to burn out than fade away". A decade later, though, the core of the band put together a new lineup and so the group is once again active.
