The group dates back to September 1986. The very act of setting up the band took place an hour before Iron Maiden concert in Poznan, when Tomasz "Titus" Pukacki (vocal, bass guitar) met Robert "Litza" Friedrich (backing vocal, guitar) and they decided to sell the entrance tickets. The money they got was in no time spent on cheap Polish wine known locally as "kwas" (English "acid") The line up was then enlarged by Dariusz "Popcorn" Popowicz (guitar) and Maciej "Ślimak" Starosta (drums.) Soon they created a few song such as Barmy Army or Del Rocca which are performed live even these days. Unfortunately, after two months of blissful existence, the band suffered the loss of Titus - the leader, who had been called up to the army. Titus stayed there two years while the rest of the band performed with other bands. Popcorn joined Wolf Spider and Litza became a member of legendary Turbo and later Creation of Death. When Titus was finally released from the army, ACID DRINKERS was reactivated.
They first appeared on stage on 26th August 1989 in Wroclaw at a fairly big metal festival called "Metal Madness". They played three songs during which they remained completely still on stage, which was a pretty shocking idea as for a metal band at that time. The audience was absolutely taken aback. The same year they played only one more gig together with Turbo, Wolf Spider and Gomor.
In the meantime ACID DRINKERS recorded their first demo including Nagasaki Baby, Del Rocca and I Mean Acid. The demo noticed by Tomasz Dziubinski (Metal Mind Productions) was presented at Midem Fair in Cannes. A month later ACID DRINKERS signed a deal with Music for Nations. In 1990 ACID DRINKERS performed at Metalmania Festival in Katowice, which has been the largest metal festival in Eastern Europe for many years. The show was so excellent that not only fans but also critics and journalists regarded it as a triumph. In a blink of an eye the band gained popularity across the whole country. It was even called "Guns'n'Roses at Metallica's speed".
In October 1998 Litza left ACID DRINKERS, soon replaced by Przemyslaw "Perla" Wejmann. The same year the band was awarded "the Best Rock Band of the Year" by Polish Public Television. ACID DRINKERS also received "Fryderyk", the Polish equivalent of Grammy Award in category of "hard’n’heavy" in 1998, 2000, 2004. In 2003 Perla left the band. The place emptied by him was soon taken over by Tomasz ‘Lipa’ Lipnicki, the leader of another famous Polish band – Illusion. When Lipa left the band in march 2004, next guy joined the band. His name is Aleksander “Olass” Mendyk, guitar player from great hardcore band called None.
Acid Drinkers has always been one of the best and the most live-impressive Polish heavy metal bands. It has been estimated that so far they have played over 700 concerts in Poland and abroad. From 1996 to 2003 Acids headlined 7 tours and their audience reached a million of people. They headlined all the important Polish rock and metal festivals. The band supported many international stars, such as Deep Purple (in Katowice 03.06.1996 and 24.06.1998 and 27.06.2004 Legia Stadium-Warsaw), Ian Gillan ("Toolbox In" tour in Poland and Czech Republic December 1991), Megadeth, Bruce Dickinson, Sepultura, Paradise Lost and Slayer. The band has been recognized as the best Polish band of the 90s’ by Polish journalists, readers of Polish rock and metal magazines and, of course, BY FANS.

Hiperenigmatic Stuff of Mr. Nothing
Acid Drinkers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Which way to your swollen soul?
What about girl-friend, man
Can you sale her, let her roll, Stop!
What's that stuff?! F... enough!
Hiperenigmatic Stuff Of Mr. Nothing
Someone said That you're the best
I know this guy, he's a liar
I'll kick your ass, You will be higher
You look like a dick in a roses garden
You could look better so try harder
You f... yourself in your own butt
You'll be pregnant you poor nut!
The lyrics to Acid Drinkers' song Hiperenigmatic Stuff of Mr. Nothing are quite intriguing as they seem to question the emotional state of Mr. Nothing. The singer is asking where the road to his heart is, which could suggest that Mr. Nothing is closed off emotionally. Similarly, the question about where his swollen soul is could imply that he is struggling with inner turmoil. The mention of his girlfriend being sold and let roll is a call for him to stop and reflect on his actions.
The chorus of the song is particularly interesting as it highlights the title of the song, "Hiperenigmatic Stuff of Mr. Nothing". The word "hiperenigmatic" suggests something that is beyond understanding, while "Mr. Nothing" implies that there is a lack of something. This could mean that Mr. Nothing is either complex and difficult to understand or that he lacks something that is essential for his well-being. The use of the expletive in the chorus further emphasizes the frustration and confusion that the singer feels towards Mr. Nothing.
The second verse of the song accuses Mr. Nothing of being arrogant and selfish, with the singer threatening to physically harm him. The reference to a "dick in a roses garden" could be seen as a metaphor for Mr. Nothing standing out and being ostentatious. The line "You f... yourself in your own butt" is particularly provocative and could suggest that Mr. Nothing is self-destructive. The final line of the song, "You'll be pregnant you poor nut!", is puzzling but could be interpreted as a warning that Mr. Nothing will eventually have to face the consequences of his actions.

1992 - Vulgar Display Of Power 1993 - Chaos A.D 1994 - Infernal Connection 1996 - Roots itd. Lata '90 były najlepsze pod względem jakości wydawanych albumów, nie to co teraźniejszy defkor czy inne pseudometalowe wynalazki!
