I'm so ****ing exited that they are finally putting something else out. Hands that mold and backstabber are the only two songs on their myspace that I can vouch for at this point.

If you can find the 'Man Is The b a s t a r d' Mumia cd it is ****ing classic.

Acrid were just a group of hardcore kids, and one girl; alexandra lamoureux- bass; who forsake the positive messaging and punk themed anthemic songwriting of traditional hardcore to deliver extremely distorted, sludgy, sick, grinding metal. no other hardcore group ever came close to the destruction that acrid laid to wax. no sing alongs, no breakdowns, no poppy interludes, just scathing, scary metal, and vocals delivered straight from hell. high, low, distorted, strangled as ****, glass in the larynx vocals of neil rodman.

So, not really metal per se. What can I say, I like the crusty ****.
