ACxDC -   Satan Is King   (Full Album Stream)
 
Recorded and mixed by Taylor Young (Nails, Twitching Tongues) at The Pit Recording Studio and mastered by Brad Boatright (Integrity, Full Of Hell, Gatecreeper, High Command) at Audiosiege,  Satan Is King  is a visceral open sore of aggression, spewing forth a fifteen-part manifesto of rabid fury. Embracing grindcore, powerviolence, and beyond, ACxDC funnels various genres through their distinctive lens. Fans of Gulch, Nasum, and Minor Threat, pay heed.
 
Satan Is King  will be released on CD, LP, limited gold edition LP, and digital formats on May 15th. Find preorders at  HERE .
 
For a band whose full moniker is Antichrist Demoncore, it may come as no surprise that Satan plays a prominent rule across  Satan Is King . Satan here, however, serves as a motif for rebellion, for self-discovery, and for rejecting authority rather than as a literal figure of praise. With a tongue-in-cheek title that serves as a response to Kanye West's  Jesus Is King  album,  Satan Is King  is the antidote to excess, greed, and mindless indulgence.
 
Although the album is released during an election year against the backdrop of a politically fraught environment, the members of  ACxDC  are not proponents for party politics. Their message - like their music - retains a distinctly DIY attitude. As always, the band is politically charged, distributing sonically raw dispatches at break-neck speed as a true seam of revolution runs through the album's lyrics, imploring the need for immediate and drastic action to save the planet - and ourselves. Railing against corporations, pushing back against institutions that oppress, and challenging the concept of critical thought in the face of society that rewards greed and champions homogeneous thinking all form threads in the fabric of  Satan Is King .
 
"Bursts of anti-authority fury are interrupted by ferocious drum fills. Blastbeats quickly take over, with the song seesawing between those sections and tom-led grooves. The grunt that ends the song might even win over some fans of death metal..." - Decibel Magazine on "Copsucker"
 
"... a harrowing and sustained scream of rage against the idiocy of religion, society, humanity and just about everything else... Fittingly,  ACxDC 's music eschews nuance in favor of machine-gun bludgeon, and as the brief but blistering likes of 'Matapacos' and 'Come Out Fighting' scorch through your earholes like a nasty infection, it will be the album's sheer violent simplicity that will have you coming back for more." -- Blabbermouth
 
"...a relentlessly brutal slab of power violence with lyrics as cutting as the instrumentals." -- Stereokiller
 
"Few bands are able to truly embody the chaotic fun that powerviolence and grindcore provide whilst also making their message and intention utterly clear from the get go.  ACxDC  hail Satan and smash the system in a way few are able to copy or emulate. The deranged combination of sounds and how well they blend together into a pitch black whirlwind of noise and fury is the reason you should check out  ACxDC 's Satan is King, but the craftsmanship and message buried within the record are what will keep you coming back." - Distorted Sound
 
"...fifteen short and nasty tracks breathing fire and venom relentlessly from start to finish!" -- Battle Helm
 
"...a dark quilt masterfully threaded with barbed wire and with an uncertain global situation unfolding in front of us, it feels right on time.  ACxDC  carries the flag of modern powerviolence with dignity." -- The Razor's Edge
 
"...an utterly devastating collection of songs that are an absolute cavalcade of brilliance from start to finish." - Ave Noctum
