Legendary dark heavy metal band Acheron have entered the mixing and mastering phase of preparing their Listenable Records debut, Kult Des Hasses (“Cult of Hate” in German), which will be released later this year.
Acheron plans to do a mini-tour with Incantation in late July, having enlisted Dismemberment guitarist Jacob Shively to fill the second guitar slot. Acheron founder Vincent Crowley said, “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.”
In addition, Acheron will head to Germany in September to headline the Death Doomed the Age Fest and and return in October for the Under the Banner of the Black Light fest. The following are the confirmed live dates for Acheron’s two European visitations:
- 07/18 – Philadelphia, PA @ TBA
- 07/19 – Baltimore, MD @ Ottobar w/ INCANTATION
- 07/20 – Providence, RI @ Fete w/ INCANTATION
- 09/06 – Lichtenfels, Germany @ Death Doomed the Age Fest
- 10/12 – Gieben, Germany @ Under the Banner of the Black Light fest

Man, I forgot about these guys. I saw their first album used in a store once, and I’m still kicking myself for not buying it. Simple music, yes, but cool stuff.
