Acid Throne is a British doom metal band from Norwich, Norfolk. The group takes influence from classic rock, hardcore punk and black metal...[1].

History[edit]

Acid Throne was founded in October 2021 by singer-guitarist Chris Kemp, drummer Chris Farrar, and bassist and guitarist Matt Stembrowicz. Soon after the band formed, they secured a slot on the Jagermeister stage[2] at Bloodstock Open Air Festival thanks to a joint win at Bloodstock's 'Metal to the Masses' competition in 2022. Acid Throne played at Bloodstock Open Air on Sunday 14th August 2022[3][4].

The band released its first EP, The Demo, in April 2022[5], before recording its first full album, Kingdom's Death, at Foel Studio in Wales in April 2023. The album was released digitally[6] and on vinyl during September 2023, with CD release supported by Trepanation Recordings[7]. Kerrang Magazine gave Kingdom's Death a 4/5 review[8], while Distorted Sound scored it 9/10[9]. The album entered the UK Doom Charts shortly after its release[10].

The video for "War Torn", the first single released from Kingdom's Death, was shot by independent filmmaker Scott Jarvis and premiered with Decibel Magazine[11] shortly ahead of the album launch.

Other independent reviews of Kingdom's Death and The Demo include The Razor's Edge[12], GBHBL[13], Outlaws of The Sun[14] and the Robert Carrigan podcast[15]

In July 2023, Acid Throne toured England with Irish doom band Tooms, playing venues in Chelmsford, London, Bristol and Southampton. The tour followed an extended run of one-off shows, including working with Burner on their album release show[16].

Acid Throne next completed a UK tour with Cancer Bats as Bat Sabbath during January 2024, ahead of confirmed appearances at Desertfest London[17][18] and Stoomfest[19]. Following a surge in popularity off the back of this tour, Acid Throne were featured in the Orange Amplifiers "Spotlight" series[20] .
