History and Miscellaneous:

Acid Reign is a British Thrash Metal band who is considered to be a part of the British Big Four (Acid Reign, Sabbat, Onslaught and Xentrix). The band was formed in 1985 in Harrogate, England by Mark Ramsey Wharton (drums and keyboards), Ian Gangwer (bass) Originally Peter Warriner, Howard "H" Smith (vocals), and Gary "Gaz" Jennings (guitar). Second guitarist Kevin Papworth joined in 1987. Through the years, the band released Moshkinstein in 1988 as an E.P. release and one year later, in 1988, they were finally able to release their first album called The Fear in 1989. The band shoted a videoclip of one song of this album called Humanoia. The band then released Obnoxious in 1989, which today H, the only original member calls it the pink album (a reference to the Black Album by Metallica) because of the cover (Pinkie Pie surely aproves ). Then two years later after a compilation, the band decided to part ways. But this year, in 2015, H reforged the band with a rebooted lineup, because old members did not wanted to come back into the band for personal reasons. So today they are back, even writing new material as we speak.

The band is known as the most comedic band in Thrash Metal music industry. with notable exemples such as this parody song called This is Serious off the album Obnoxious and even

of the song Hanging On The Telephone by The Nerves they surely proved it.

Recommended Material:

Their first two albums are both great and really Thrashy. They also have thoughtfull lyrics about reality and other things. Here are songs that I recommend you to listen:
