ACID REIGN Sign Record Deal With Dissonance Productions
June 3rd, 2019

UK thrash metal band Acid Reign have signed an album deal with Dissonance Productions, confirming this development on June 3rd, 2019.

Acid Reign frontman Howard “H” Smith commented: “For our first album in 29 years it was vitally important that we find the right home and I feel we have. From the very first contact it was obvious that the Dissonance team not only had an overwhelming enthusiasm for what we have recorded but the intelligence and infrastructure to deliver.

“Many involved are the same people I dealt with when curating The Apple Core Archives in 2014 which was a hassle free experience, so we are going to release a four disc retrospective Acid Reign Anthology package after the new album comes out ’cos I found some more old stuff and our two singles [‘Plan Of The Damned’ and ‘The Man Who Became Himself’] need a CD home. Who knows you may even see some vinyl reissues too!

“We cannot wait to unleash this beast and hit the road in support of it; once it’s out it will be two years since we started writing and a year since we recorded it. No one is as keen as us for you all to hear the results. Over the next few months we’ll be drip feeding you all information, we have so many plans for really cool things that we think you are all going to love. Stay tuned.”

Dissonance Productions label boss Steve Beatty added: “It’s great they are back with a new album and I am pleased they are on the Label, it’s great addition to the roster and I’m excited about the new album. As long as they don’t cover anymore Blondie songs I’m a happy camper!”

The band’s third full-length studio album The Age Of Entitlement is slated for a September 2019 release.

Acid Reign’s line-up is as follows:

Howard “H” Smith (vocals)
Dean “Cooky” Cook (guitar)
Paul Chanter (guitar)
Pete Dee (bass)
Marc Jackson (drums)

Acid Reign’s second studio record Obnoxious was released in April 1990 via Under One Flag.
