biografía : Acid Death

One of the oldest Greek bands that have been active for 12 years,
from 1989 to 2001, started from classic Thrash Metal and ended up being the sole
representatives (for many at a European level) of Progressive Death Metal up until their disband. Now they are making their comeback! Having the assets of an EP, a split LP, two full length CDs and countless live appearances at times where live gigs were worth their weight in gold, they played along with bands such as KREATOR, THE HAUNTED, IMPALED NAZARENE, CHILDREN OF BODOM,
MAYHEM, ROTTING CHRIST, they have come full cycle and the years that
followed only strengthened their name... Their members were found in other bands of the scene, giving good examples. The "Total Recall" of 2011, almost 10 years after their disband, finds them with a revamped lineup, endless inspiration and above all the mood for a lot of hard work. This season the band has finished the recordings for its brand new full length CD, 5th official release and 1st after its reunion,called “Eidolon”.

-1991. ACID DEATH at their first steps in recording, they perform a independent
production of their first mini LP called Balance Of Power, a piece of work that was to
remain on the shelf and see the light many years later when the band had dissolved in
the form of free downloading.
-1993. The year they released their first official work, the EP “Apathy Murders
Hope” by the Greek independent label MOLON LAVE recs, providing the first
evidence of the Progressive Death Metal path that the band was to follow a few years
later.
-1995. Two years later, a split-LP is recorded and released with Spanish Extreme
Metallers AVULSED. The band have already loses the opportunity of a very good
record deal with a famous label of that time due to military services.
-1998. The first full length CD “Pieces Of Mankind” is recorded, showing the
Progressive character that is to be followed by the band. ACID DEATH were
walking a tightrope between Death Metal and Fusion/Jazz and the first negative
arrows began to come... The album remains forgotten and scorned to domestic record
store shelves, but the re-release of 1999 by the English fledgling label Copro
Recs/Casket Music makes it "Album of the Month" in a VERY well-known English
magazine site, which is radical and unheard-of for its time...
-2000. The swansong “Random’s Manifest” full length CD is released by the already
established BLACKLOTUS recs making the name of ACID DEATH affirmed and
applauded by the European press and made fun-of in their own country! The
provocative cover of the album is censored the CD is removed from the German
market... For the first time the foundation of the band start grinding unusually
strange...
-2001. After 12 years and 4 official releases, the band announced it’s disband while
being in the studio for the pre-production of their third full-length.
-2008. Pieces Of Mankind is to be the first among the "Greek Metal Scene-40 Most
Distinctive Album of all Time" as voted by the editors of the Greek RockHard
Magazine.
-2009. 18 years after it’s recording, the first -unreleased- mini LP of ACID DEATH
sees the light in the form of a free downloading as a "gift" to those who had
appreciated the band all the past years.
-“Live After Death"... A case not rare, but with an another application. The name of
the band is strengthened and boasted while practically ACID DEATH “are nonexistent
for over 10 years”.
