ACID REIGN will release their first new album ‘Daze Of The Week’ on May15, 2026. Their first since their universally praised ‘The Age Of Entitlement’ in 2019.
Vocalist and original member Howard H Smith commented:
“In all my 41 years in this band, yes 41! I have never been more excited by the prospect of anything than releasing Daze Of The Week on the unsuspecting thrash metal public. It’s been 2 years in the making and at times I thought it might never even see the light of day! Every note of every performance in every song has been lovingly captured by our sixth member producer Jayce Lewis and we couldn’t be happier with the results. This one is for every single thrasher around the world who thought that albums like this couldn’t be made anymore. They can, we have, you’re welcome.”
Charlie Griffiths (ex Haken) who plays duelling solos with Matt on Fantastic Passion says of the album:
“It’s wonderful! Wall to wall awesome riffs, great song writing and beautifully angry lyrics and vocals”
