They released the demo "Addiction to Distortion" in 2016 and followed it with their full-length "Storming Into This Land" in 2019, a record tracked at Toque Grave Estúdio and noted for its palm-muted riffing and old-school new-wave-of-thrash energy.

Acid Revenant merges black and thrash metal from Florence since 2014, pairing the raw velocity of thrash with black metal's tonal hostility. Their spectral-chemical name captures the ghostly aggression that defines their Tuscan approach.
