ACID DRINKERS is a band which has a long history in Poland and not only. They formed in 1986 as a Thrash Metal band with some Crossover influences and have come so far as being now one of the cult bands in Poland metal scene.

Verses Of Steel is theirs latest full length album and unfortunately I just now got my hands on such a great piece of metal. The album was released in 2008 in Poland though Mystic Productions and got to the European market only in April 2009, though Regain Records. The album is compact and one heavy piece of Thrash Metal. There isn’t much I can tell about the downside of the album, since all is perfectly combined. The must raw Thrash Metal sounds combined with some Crossover themes in the guitars as well as in the vocals.

The highlight of the album are Fuel Of My Soul, Silver Meat Machine and Blues Beatdown, which happens to be the last and longest track on the album, compiling over 7 minutes of sheer madness. I can honestly say that this is a band that will blow you away. The power and energy this album gives is incredible, and if you’re into Kreator and Slayer I bet you’ll dig this too.

Verses Of Steel is an album you have to have regardless which is your metal orientation. It’s a cult album by a cult band and it’s gotten three prizes at the Fryderyk Musical Awards (Polish Grammy’s) for production, composition and best Heavy Metal album in 2009.
