Acid Death are a band from Greece that plays a progressive mixture of death and thrash metal and this is a review of their 1997 album "Pieces Of Mankind" which was re-issued in 2016 by Copro Records.
Horror movie style synths start off the album and after the intro the music goes into more of a heavier and melodic musical direction along with some death metal growls that go to the early days of the genre as well as adding in a death/thrash touch and the music also mixes both the 80's and 90's styles together.
At times the music gets very technical and atmospheric sounds are also added into some of the heavier sections of the music along with the faster sections of the songs using a decent amount of blast beats and when solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very melodic fashion and the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
You can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording and the tracks also mix in a great amount of prog elements and as the album progresses classical guitars along with spoken word parts can also be heard briefly and a couple of the tracks are very long and epic in length and a couple of songs also mixes in a small amount of symphonic touches while a later track introduces clean singing onto the recording.
Acid Death played a progressive style of death and thrash metal on this recording that had a very vintage old school style while also being very experimental for its times, the production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover philosophy, apocalypse and destruction themes.
In my opinion Acid Death are a very great sounding progressive mixture of death and thrash metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "While The End Is Coming" "Frozen Heart" "Liquid Heaven" and "The Mirror At The Top Of the World". 8 out of 10.
