Earlier this year, American black/death metal maniacs Acheron released their long-awaited album Kult Des Hasses on Listentable Records. Due to some issues within the band, Acheron didn’t play any shows during most of the year and later parted ways with longtime drummer Kyle Severn. After this time, former guitarist Shaun Cothron rejoined the lineup and Brandon Howe was hired to play drums for their November/December shows entitled “Unleash Hell 2014.”
Howe is working out so well that Acheron has officially hired him as their official drummer. Band founder Vincent Crowley states: “Brandon has been very dedicated and has shown a tremendous amount of energy and creativity. He is a very solid drummer, and playing live with him has been a pleasure. After rehearsing our setlist, we started to work on a couple new songs. He was very easy to work with and brings a lot to the table. After our show in Baltimore, we knew he was going to be our new drummer.”
Acheron will be finishing up their 2014 shows this weekend on December 12th (Indianapolis, Indiana) and December 13th (Chicago, Illinois). When they finish the run, Acheron will start working on material for their next album.
The goal for next year is to work on new music and do as many shows as possible. Acheron has never been an extensive touring, band and they hope to change that in 2015! Acheron has recently been added to the roster for The Flaming Arts Agency for any European or Asian booking.
Last but not least, Acheron finally released their video for “Satan Holds Dominion,” which is on the Listenable Records official Youtube site at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIoQHF4YIC8.
