There are three artists named Acheron:
1) american death metal band (website: www.acheron666.com)
2) slovak crossover metal band (website: www.acheron.intheweb.sk)
3) Australian death metal band that changed their name to Abramelin in the early 90’s.
American death metal band Acheron
After over 20 years of making diabolical music, the legendary Cult Black/Death Metal band ACHERON has decided to call it quits. As trends came and went, this pack of godless heathens stayed true to the very roots of their underground origin.
In 1988, Vincent Crowley unleashed sinister fury upon the world with the creation of ACHERON. The band was invoked to embody the very essence of darkness, crystallized in the violent sounds of apocalyptic rage. Two forces creating a unique musical amalgam.
ACHERON started off by releasing several well received demos, each generating interest among various labels. Their first demo MESSE NOIR was later pressed as a limited edition 7-Inch Record on Belgium’s REAPER RECORDS.
In 1991, the band signed to TURBO MUSIC/JL AMERICA and recorded their first full-length album, RITES OF THE BLACK MASS. This became an underground classic. A decade later, this classic album was re-released in a limited edition (without permission) pressing on Germany’s METAL AGE RECORDINGS.
In 1992, GUTTED RECORDS (soon to become METAL MERCHANT RECORDS) released ALLA XUL. This was a 7-Inch Record in which the first 500 copies were pressed in Blood Red Vinyl with 2 different playing speeds on each side of the record. The next 500 were pressed in a different color of red. Only 1000 copies of this record were pressed.

I mainly only listen to their Rites of Black Mass (demo) but this is a very solid band overall, nothing I've heard from these dudes has been bad, just raw, simple ('cept for the cool solos) and dark Death Metal. Nothing amazing, but not bad by any means. The only complaint I can see anyone having is that they're too simplistic and somewhat cheesy.

This is one very underrated band. Though, I think they prefered it that way. Wishing they never disbanded. They were phenomenal. Hail Satan, fuckers.
