Acheron

Acheron (USA) sign with Listenable Records

Listenable Records are delighted to announce the signing of long revered GENUINELY EVIL death metal legendary act Acheron (Tampa, Florida).

The infamous underground legends have been a cult band for over two decades and have released a number of recordings throughout their existence. Band founder and frontman Vincent Crowley commented on the band's signing: "Acheron has been a thriving entity for many years now. We never got a proper push from any of our past labels to get to the next level. The band has received a lot of interest within the last year. When Listenable Records talked with me about signing Acheron, I was indeed interested. The reason being is that he was a fan of Acheron a long time ago. He believes in our music and wants to finally give Acheron the push we deserve. We are not just a band, we're a fucking diabolic War Machine!"

New album 'Kult des Hasses' is scheduled for Spring 2013.

Acheron biography:

For over two decades Acheron has been unleashing their blend of black/death/thrash/doom music to the metal community. When Satanic bands like Morbid Angel and Deicide were getting pushed by their big record labels, Acheron was in the shadows on smaller labels relying almost solely on the underground support of their fans. As time passed on this would take the band to a somewhat legendary cult status. In plain words, if you didn't know who Acheron was or at least heard of them you were not truly underground! Band founder Vincent Crowley (formerly: The Reverend) formed the band in 1988, after he left the Tampa, Florida-based group Nocturnus.

Crowley lived in a variety of places and worked with a number of different musicians to release 5 full-length albums, 2 mini-albums as well as a lot of other various material. The band became somewhat infamous with their link to real Satanic groups and their outrageous anti-religious antics. Unfortunately, many people let their blasphemous image over-shadow their music and many critics loved to bash the band just because of their beliefs. But Acheron prevailed and still moved on with the support of their loyal fans.

Acheron are presently working to release their next planned album 'Kult des Hasses'. There is still a lot of wind left in the band's sails and Hell will indeed be released again! The underground is much more than just another scene, it is a fierce group of warriors fighting to keep the metal flag held high! We are Legion, we are few, but we are many! Support Acheron, for they will never turn their backs on you!
