Acid Death

Acid Death is a Greek progressive/technical death metal band that formed in Athens in 1989. Known for their intricate riffs and thought-provoking lyrics, they carved a niche in the underground metal scene with their blend of thrashy aggression and complex song structures. After dropping early demos and their debut album *Random’s Manifest* (1992), they faced lineup shifts and disbanded in 2001, only to reunite in 2011 with renewed energy. Their post-reunion work, like *Eidolon* (2019) and *Primal Energies* (2023), showcases a darker, more polished evolution while staying true to their roots. Themes of existential dread, human corruption, and societal decay run through releases like *Hall of Mirrors* and *Godless Shrines*, proving they’re still sharp as ever. With a cult following in Europe, Acid Death remains a hidden gem for fans of cerebral, riff-driven metal.
