Ohio-based blackened death metal vets ACHERON are almost done recording their upcoming album, Kult Des Hasses, with mixing and mastering the only things left to complete.

It has been four years since the last album from Acheron, and the band has finally returned to record a new unholy masterpiece. Acheron recently entered Bad Back Studio in Cleveland, Ohio and began working with engineer David Johnson. Kult Des Hasses will be released in November via Listenable Records.

The goal of this album is to return to a more pure and raw studio sound, very much like the old school classic releases of band like CELTIC FROST, MERCYFUL FATE, SLAYER and POSSESSED. In a day and age where modern technology is over used by so many bands, Acheron wants to present a great quality album without all the over produced bullshit!

The song writing is very catchy, aggressive and heavy. Band found Vincent Crowley says: “Bands like VENOM and SODOM make brutal songs but the tunes are very memorable and catchy. That has always been my goal with Acheron. And I must say this is one of the catchiest Acheron albums ever. I have no doubt that our fans both old and new will enjoy this upcoming musical assault.”

Kult Des Hasses tracklisting:

‘Daemonum Lux’

‘Satan Hold Dominion’

‘Raptured to Divine Perversion’

‘Jesus Wept’

‘Thy Father Suicide’

‘Misanthropic Race’

‘Whores and Harlots’

‘Asphyxiation (Hands of God)’

‘Concubina Do Diabo’

‘Devil's Black Blood’

Check out the demo of 'Asphyxiation (Hands Of God)’ below:

The present line-up of Acheron is Vincent Crowley (vocals, bass), Kyle Severn (drums) and Art Taylor (lead, rhythm guitar). On the album they are joined by special guest Ricktor Ravensbruck (WOLFEN SOCIETY, ELECTRIC HELLFIRE CLUB, WOLFPACK 44) as a second lead guitarist. The band wanted to capture a sick dual guitar attack sound. The insane work of Taylor and Ravensbruck has indeed accomplished that.

Some very special guest vocals will be on the album also, including Kam Lee (ex-MASSACRE), Jim Lippucci (SOULLESS), John and Jill McEntee (INCANTATION, FUNERUS), Zdenka Prado (ESTUARY) and Acheron alumni Ash Thomas (ESTUARY, FAITH XTRACTOR).

In other news, Acheron will be doing a mini-tour with INCANTATION in late July. The band has hired DISMEMBERMENT guitarist Jacob Shively to fill the slot of second guitarist.

When asked if Shively would be their new permanent second guitarist, Crowley stated: “Jacob is a talented guitarist and fan of the band. His group Dismemberment opened for Acheron a few times and I really liked them. That is why I asked him about filling in. But we are taking baby steps. We’ve learned from past experiences not to just give hire someone right away. For now he is playing with us for all upcoming live shows. We’ll just have to see if it progresses into something more. But we are indeed open to the idea if the dedication and chemistry is there.”

Acheron will also be headling the Death Doomed The Age Fest in September and the Under The Banner Of The Black Light fest in October in Germany.
