UK thrash metal band Acid Reign have released an official lyric video for the track \u2018Ripped Apart\u2019, which can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

In other news, the band have announced that they will play the Clang Metal Festival at the National Stadium in Dublin, Ireland on May 2nd, followed by a headlining appearance at the Mosh Against Cancer festival at the Chester Live Rooms in Chester, England on May 30th. More dates will be announced soon.<\/p>\n

Acid Reign issued third full-length studio album The Age Of Entitlement<\/em><\/a> on September 27th, 2019 through Dissonance Productions.<\/p>\n

Frontman Howard \u201cH\u201d Smith commented: \u201cWe started recording on August 1st last year with Jayce Lewis and he has been amazing. He was badgering me to do this for months. We had two other bigger names telling us they would love to do it but Jayce showed us when recording \u2018The Man Who Became Himself\u2019 [single released<\/a> in March 2017] that he would go above and beyond to get the best out of what was a very difficult session. So just think what we could achieve when we are in a much better place. The results are stunning. You have an old school thrash album with a contemporary twist and a production that honours that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had the title for a long time, straight off the bat it had an album title ring to it and speaks to a world view that the entire band shares, which is important. Then Mark [Wilkinson] came up with the artwork which he really knocked out of the park. We are all itching to get this out and now you know when you\u2019ll be able to get hold of it. Not long now, single coming soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cover artwork was created by renowned artist Mark Wilkinson, who is famed for his work for and amongst others Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Marillion.<\/p>\n

Smith said: \u201cI was introduced to Mark by Al Barnes [ex-Venom] last year in Bloodstock VIP and jokingly said if he ever fancied doing our cover art I\u2019d let him. Fast forward months later and amazingly he agreed to do it! We are thrilled to have such legendary figure involved with our album. For me, as a huge old school Marillion fan it\u2019s the icing on the cake.\u201d<\/p>\n

Included on the album is a rendition of Suzanne Vega\u2019s \u2018Blood Makes Noise\u2019, which also features guest vocals from the American singer-songwriter. \u2018Blood Makes Noise\u2019 originally appeared on Vega\u2019s 1992 album 99.9F\u00b0<\/em>.<\/p>\n
