Uppsala, Sweden’s metalcore five-piece ACIDIUN released their full-length debut album The Coalescence in September last year. Teaming up with Prog-Sphere.com, the band is launching a music video for the song “Insight” taken from the mentioned release.

Commented the band: “The lyrics of ‘Insight’ represent the aftermath of one’s decision when you realize what you’ve done and you’re left with the consequences. In the album’s storyline the protagonist is dealing with his thoughts after committing to a murder. Shooting this video was so much fun since we just did what we normally do when we hit the stage… We go out with full energy and have the best of times. This video truly captures Acidiun and our will to just headbang and give it our all.”

The Coalescence is a concept album about a fictive character with a deranged mind, coping with the opposing forces in his head. Two singles — “Urges” and “Burn Bright” — were launched prior the release.

The Coalescence is available from Spotify, iTunes, Google Play and Deezer. For more from ACIDIUN follow the band on Facebook and Instagram.

(record review)De Lyckliga Kompisarna-Pengar Har Inga Ögon

Leave a comment

Sweden has been the place with many awesome melodic punk bands all throughout 90-ies when I was a kid. Some of the bands reached legendary status and respect in the scene like No Fun At All, Satanic Surfers for example. This time we reviewed the record by De Lyckliga Kompisarna.

The record contains 12 songs with all of the lyrics being in Swedish, so I can˙t understand a word what they are singing about. The music is punkrock, but it gets a bit weird sometimes like in Ostronskal, mixture of ska and punk with some atonal even stoner melodies. There are some folkish/polka songs like Olika kulturklubbar that are for sure fun to dance to and listen, maybe live also fun as hell. Don˙t get me wrong, there are awesome straight forward punkrock songs on this record like Johanna for example. This record has some great moments, besides the weird ones, but that versatility makes this record good.
