ACID REIGN Reveal 2015 Line-Up
May 5th, 2015

UK-based thrash group Acid Reign have announced a revised 2015 line-up, revealing this development on May 5th, 2015.

Acid Reign had disbanded in 1991 following a six-year career which saw the issue of two full-lengths through Music For Nations subsidiary Under One Flag, among other material, namely the albums The Fear (1989) and Obnoxious (1990).

Vocalist Howard “H” Smith is the sole original member, issuing the following statement: “I tried to put the old line-up back together, but the guys were unable to do it for differing reasons. Then, in the summer of 2014, I started toying with the idea of a new line-up and it came together quite quickly. We’re taking it slowly, learning the old stuff and playing with new ideas too. It’s not a reformation, it’s a reboot. Even if it was the old line-up it would be different, it’s been 24 years! The main thing is that the goodwill toward Acid Reign has never been stronger, everywhere I go people are saying we should come back and eventually I actually fucking listened!

“Finally the rebooted line-up is complete, it’s taken nearly two years but I can honestly say it’s been worth the wait. Typically we’re doing things differently to everyone else as where they reformed (and believe me we tried) we are now rebooting. Everyone in the band has Acid Reign in their DNA. Some of the guys knew the band back in the day and some didn’t, but everyone is on the same page and we can’t wait to get out there and show the world how much it has been missing us.”

Acid Reign’s 2015 line-up is as follows;

Howard ‘H’ Smith (vocals)
Cooky (guitar)
Paul Chanter (guitar)
Pete Dee (bass)
Marc Jackson (drums)
