About Acid Throne
Following the release of their debut album 'Kingdom's Death' in November 2023, ACID THRONE have been bludgeoning the metal scene, making a name for themselves with suffocating atmosphere, crushing riffs and scourging vocals that set them apart as true harbingers of doom. Now four years in, the band have established themselves as one of England's heaviest Doom exports gaining fans across the globe.
In 2024 the band toured with Canadian legends CANCER BATS/BAT SABBATH playing a run of sold out shows whilst simultaneously being announced as the first ORANGE AMPLIFIERS spotlight artist, building a reputation as ambassadors of legendary British tone. In the same year ACID THRONE headlined a stage at London's DesertFest, where they packed out the venue to the rafters and had fans queuing round the block for a show that the press described as, 'arguably the heaviest set of the weekend’. The band also found the time to support UK heavyweights CONAN, shared a stage with international peers HIPPIE DEATH CULT and DOPELORD, then embarked on a second tour of the UK and Ireland in Autumn, helping to close out the infamous Siege of Limerick festival.
In 2025 ACID THRONE focused their efforts on writing a follow-up to the debut album, but also headlined the opening party of the London Doom Collective’s - Masters of the Riff festival and made their second international appearance at Iceland’s Reykjadoom festival, playing alongside UFOMAMMUT and EARTHBONG. The band also found time to headline a sold out Tonehenge - Nottingham with peers THE GREY, and played to sold out crowds at Cosmic Vibration festival in August alongside legends including HELLRIPPER, BUTCHER and ACID MAMMOTH.
​
ACID THRONE begin 2026 with the 'Winter of Discontent' Tour of England and Scotland in February, before recording their second album with Chris Fielding (credits inc. Conan, Winterfylleth, Electric Wizard) in late Spring. The band is also set to return to Bloodstock Festival in August, opening the Sophie Lancaster Stage on Sunday, ahead of Black Label
Society and headliners Judas Priest.

If you haven’t done so already, get to know ACID THRONE, as Kerrang suggests, ‘it’s clear they’re not f***ing around’.
