ACME - TO REDUCE THE CHOIR TO ONE SOLOIST(Bremen, GERMANY)
Acme (from Bremen, Germany) were among the most influential Hardcore bands of the 1990’s. Edison released their album “to reduce the choir to one soloist” in 1996, but the recordings date back to 1993/1994, these nine tracks comprise the entirety of Acme’s recorded career (one 7”, three compilation tracks, one demo). Presumably the band take their musical cues from early 90’s Hardcore bands such as Born Against and ‘Protestant’-era Rorschach, but this is occluded so thoroughly by a dense (funeral) fog of extreme metal, sludge and grind that their original Hardcore influences are difficult to pinpoint.
