ACROPHET: Classic Albums To Be Reissued

January 10, 2008

Two albums from the long-defunct thrash metal band ACROPHET — "Corrupt Minds" and "Faded Glory" — will be reissued on February 4 in Europe via Metal Mind Productions (April 15 in the USA via MVD). Each limited-edition CD (limited to 2,000 copies) will be made available on golden disc, digitally remastered using 24-bit technology.

According to a press release, "Out of several releases that came out during the Golden Age of thrash metal, ACROPHET was definitely not just another face in the crowd. In fact, they were one of the few bands which helped to form a genre called by some 'speedcore' — an intense mixture of speed/thrash metal with hardcore. Back in the '80s, when such combinations were still considered highly controversial, ACROPHET stood as pioneers.

"'Corrupt Minds', the widely acclaimed debut album from 1988, to this day is considered as the band's trademark — shredding guitars, insanely fast drums and hardcore-style vocals blend here in one raging mixture of speed and aggression. 'Faded Glory', the band’s second album from 1990, delivered a more metal-oriented material — the songs are definitely more inspired by the Bay Area thrash pioneers. Nevertheless, the unique style of ACROPHET's music is still present, making 'Faded Glory' a solid offering for any speedcore fan."
