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.

Infernal Connection
Acid Drinkers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bone from bone
I know this smell
I saw this smile
I remember the action
Now I know the connection
I can see the roots
Venom in his mind
He's the worst of kind
Case after case
Gloomy, stone face
Infernal Connection!
The lyrics of Acid Drinkers' Infernal Connection are filled with ominous and dark imagery. The opening lines, "Blood from blood, bone from bone" imply a deep connection between the singer and another person, perhaps someone who is related to them. The following lines, "I know this smell, I saw this smile, I remember the action" suggest that the singer has experienced something terrible at the hands of this person. Now, they have finally made the connection and can see that the root of the problem lies in the other person's mind, which is filled with venomous and evil thoughts.
As the song continues, the singer goes on to describe this person as the "worst of kind" and recounts various cases of their wrongdoing. The line "gloomy, stone face" paints a picture of a cold, unfeeling person who is completely in control of their actions, despite the evil nature of their deeds. The chorus of the song, "Infernal Connection!" serves as a reminder of the intense, otherworldly connection between the singer and this person.
Overall, the lyrics of "Infernal Connection" are haunting and powerful, portraying a deep-seated connection between two people that is steeped in darkness and evil.

Miałem 16 lat gdy wyszła ta płyta. Minęło 29 lat a ja jej słucham jak pierwszym razem. Choć znam ją na pamięć. Czas płynie nieubłagalnie a ja zawsze mam te 16 lat, gdy jej słucham.

Jeśli mam być obiektywny , to jest najlepszy album ever polskiej muzyki rockowej , kiedy jeszcze Polska TV , była wolna od pislamu, to program TVP 2, dawał ich koncert i to nie o drugiej nad ranem , tylko w godzinach największej oglądalności. Pyszne....po prostu
