Acid Reign

More thrash from the late-80's/early-90's era, when this sort of style was quite prevalent. England was not the hotbed for such groups, but some good ones were out there, with Acid Reign ranking with Xentrix and Re-Animator as among the better outfits of the day. Like a lot of other thrash bands of the time, the originality here wasn't too great, but the band made up for it with sheer intensity and enthusiasm. Vocalist Howard "H" Smith rebooted the band with an all-new lineup in early 2015.
