Acid Reign

The Profile

English thrash metal band from Harrogate, formed mid-1985. Early releases include the Moshkinstein EP (1988), The Fear (1989) and Obnoxious (1990).

According to the DeBaser review by Bartleboom, Acid Reign mixed UK thrash with U.S.-influenced hardcore in an ironic style. The review treats Obnoxious (1990) as the band's discographic peak, notes lineup changes for that album (entry of 'Mac' on bass and Adam Leah on guitar replacing Gaz Jennings and Ina Gangwer), and criticizes the record for a perceived lack of personality and evident tributes to contemporary U.S. bands such as Forbidden, Metallica and Anthrax.
