Acid Row are a stoner rock trio from Pilsen, Czech Republic, formed in 2012, who pair the fuzzed-out heaviness of doom and stoner metal with punk attitude, psychedelic detours, and grunge-inflected noise. Their third full-length, "Poisoned Mind," arrived in March 2024, backed by a music video for the single "The Emperor" that emphasizes their blunt, groove-driven approach.
Acid Satan is a five-piece metal and punk fusion band from La Rioja, Argentina, formed in early 2023, featuring Kevin Satan on vocals and guitar, Mati Argonaut on guitar, Neri Blackmass on keys and vocals, Pablo Fat Pipe on bass, and Pablo Kdk on drums. Their debut EP "Doomed Junkies," released September 28, 2023 and recorded in the Matadero neighborhood of La Rioja, contains six tracks exploring themes of witchcraft, paranoia, and dark psychedelia.
