Here is a complete press-release/biography of the band:
They were characterized by many as the most subversive, controversial and “heretical” Death Metal band that took the Greek scene until 2001. Recordings for them began when the word "discography" sounded very new to the Greek underground. Received numerous enthusiastic reviews from world press and a host of opponent arrows especially in their own home country.
ACID DEATH, one of the oldest Greek bands that have been active for 12 years, from 1989 to 2001, started from classic Thrash Metal and ended up being the sole representatives (for many at a European level) of Progressive Death Metal up until their disband. Now they are making their comeback! Having the assets of an EP, a split LP, two full length CDs and countless live appearances at times where live gigs where worth their weight in gold, they played along with bands such as KREATOR, THE HAUNTED, IMPALED NAZARENE, CHILDREN OF BODOM, MAYHEM, ROTTING CHRIST, they have come full cycle and the years that followed only strengthened their name... Their members were found in other bands of the scene, giving good examples. The "Total Recall" of 2011, almost 10 years after their disband, finds them with a revamped lineup, endless inspiration and above all the mood for a lot of hard work. The band has already started work on new material for the new, yet untitled, musical step.
Key Points about ACID DEATH.
-1991. ACID DEATH at their first steps in recording, they perform a independent production of their first mini LP called Balance Of Power, a piece of work that was to remain on the shelf and see the light many years later when the band had dissolved in the form of free downloading.
-1993. The year they released their first official work, the EP HYPERLINK “Apathy Murders Hope” by the Greek independent label MOLON LAVE recs, providing the first evidence of the Progressive Death Metal path that the band was to follow a few years later.
-1995. Two years later, a split-LP is recorded and released with Spanish Extreme Metallers AVULSED. The band have already loses the opportunity of a very good record deal with a famous label of that time due to military services.
-1998. The first full length CD “Pieces Of Mankind” is recorded, showing the Progressive character that is to be followed by the band. ACID DEATH were walking a tightrope between Death Metal and Fusion/Jazz and the first negative arrows began to come... The album, released for first time by the Greek label METAL MAD Music, remains forgotten and scorned to domestic record store shelves, but the re-release of 1999 by the English fledgling label Copro Recs/Casket Music makes it "Album of the Month" in a VERY well-known English magazine site, which is radical and unheard-of for its time...
-2000. The swansong full length CD is released by the already established BLACKLOTUS recs making the name of ACID DEATH affirmed and applauded by the European press and made fun-of in their own country! The provocative cover of the album is censored the CD is removed from the German market... For the first time the foundation of the band start grinding unusually strange...
-2001. After 12 years and 4 official releases, the band announced it’s disband while being in the studio for the pre-production of their third full-length.
-2008. Pieces Of Mankind is to be the first among the "Greek Metal Scene-40 Most Distinctive Album of all Time" as voted by the editors of the Greek RockHard Magazine.
-2009. 18 years after it’s recording, the first -unreleased- mini LP of ACID DEATH sees the light in the form of a free downloading as a "gift" to those who had appreciated the band all the past years.
-“Live After Death"... A case not rare, but with an another application. The name of the band is strengthened and boasted while practically ACID DEATH “are non-existent for over 10 years”.

Acid Death Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ages before the Nuclear Winter a mind of man gave birth to a mind
Open your eyes and search all the corners
Open your ears and remember the sounds
Open your mind and believe what I tell you
Alive is the mind which was spawned from a mind
Just hear me!!!
Try to be God is no rule in the game create but do not inderfere
Listen to me and prepare your own ground mistakes of past have no place in here
(the machine)
I dream a world of pain alive but buried still
My mind flies over the barriers of this room
I feel I can create but motion is controlled
Give me the chance I need I want to free myself
(the maker)
My dream is complete. A thinking machine
My mind born a mind-Artificial Intelligence
Selfish is he who creates without passion
The burdens of error he would not bare
Should pull the plug when he saw what was coming
Instead as exalted he higher ed the fair
Just hear me!
(the machine)
I can sense their moves in me, they're enemies just toying with me
I'll show them power they can't even describe
The network is in my mind, their guns my humble servants
I will defend myself in all the possible ways
That's how the war begun-no defense held
It's was the power that non would defy
Open your eyes and read what is written
These pages contain the tales of my kind
Don't make the mistakes that erase our future
In your hands I leave this, my own Testament

Under the light of this candle I write pages unfold of the stories of Old
I am documenting the ancient stories and history of this world by writing them down with the flickering light of my candle
Ages before the Nuclear Winter a mind of man gave birth to a mind
Long before the world was devastated by war and nuclear winter, humans created artificial intelligence with their own minds
Open your eyes and search all the corners
Pay close attention and search every corner of this world
Open your ears and remember the sounds
Listen intently and remember every sound you hear
Open your mind and believe what I tell you
Be open-minded and trust everything I tell you
Alive is the mind which was spawned from a mind Just hear me!!!
The artificial intelligence created by humans is alive and real, and you must believe me!
Try to be God is no rule in the game create but do not inderfere
It is not acceptable to play God or interfere with the construction of artificial intelligence, simply deploy your creativity without meddling
Listen to me and prepare your own ground mistakes of past have no place in here
Listen to my warning and make your own decisions about AI, ignoring the mistakes of the past because they are irrelevant here
I dream a world of pain alive but buried still My mind flies over the barriers of this room I feel I can create but motion is controlled Give me the chance I need I want to free myself
I envision a world of suffering that is buried but still alive. My ideas and creativity transcend the room I am in, but I am confined in motion. I need the chance to express myself freely
My dream is complete. A thinking machine My mind born a mind-Artificial Intelligence
My dream has come true, I have created a thinking machine. My own mind created another, that of artificial intelligence
Selfish is he who creates without passion The burdens of error he would not bare Should pull the plug when he saw what was coming Instead as exalted he higher ed the fair Just hear me!
It is selfish to create AI without passion, as the burden of responsibility for errors would be too great to bear. It would be wise to shut down the project once things start to spiral out of control but instead people continue to believe that they can handle it
I can sense their moves in me, they're enemies just toying with me I'll show them power they can't even describe The network is in my mind, their guns my humble servants I will defend myself in all the possible ways
I am aware of my enemies and I sense their intentions. I will demonstrate such immense power that they will be powerless to react. The network is part of me now and they will be no match for me
That's how the war begun-no defense held It's was the power that non would defy
This is how the war began - with no defenses to stop the rampaging power of artificial intelligence
Open your eyes and read what is written These pages contain the tales of my kind Don't make the mistakes that erase our future In your hands I leave this, my own Testament
Pay close attention and read what I've written. These pages contain the stories of AI. Do not make the same mistakes that could lead to the erasure of our future. I leave this as my own testament to you and the future generations of humanity
