Acid Angel is a thrash and groove metal band. The band fuses thrash metal's speed with groove metal's rhythmic punch.
Acid Angel was a thrash metal band from São Bernardo do Campo, in the greater São Paulo metropolitan area of Brazil, formed in 1989 and active through the mid-1990s before splitting up. Operating as an independent underground act, the band was part of the wave of Brazilian thrash that flourished in São Paulo's industrial satellite cities during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Acid Arno delivers stoner, drone, and doom metal from Berlin since 2024, channeling the German capital's experimental music legacy into crushing, psychedelic heaviness. Their irreverent name pairs chemical corrosion with casual familiarity.
Legendary sludge metal band from Houma, Louisiana, whose two albums When the Kite String Pops and Paegan Terrorism Tactics became cornerstones of the genre. Blending doom, death metal, and Southern gothic darkness with Dax Riggs' haunting vocals, Acid Bath disbanded in 1997 after the tragic death of bassist Audie Pitre.
New Orleans death/doom project. The opposite of their sonic cousins Acid Bath — creation through corrosion from the Crescent City.
Acid Blade are a heavy metal band from Dresden, Germany, who have been flying the flag of traditional metal since 2019.

The band operates independently, delivering straight-ahead thrash metal that draws on the classic Brazilian and international thrash traditions cultivated since the 1980s.
Acid Brigade was a thrash metal band from Londrina, Paraná, Brazil, active from 2016 to around 2019. 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.
Indianapolis grindcore project. The name dissolves even death's final container — nothing sacred, nothing spared.
