Acid Age are a Hyper Thrash band from Northern Ireland influenced by various Thrash, Punk and New Wave of British Heavy Metal bands. The band consists of Eddie Cross on vocals, Jude McIlwaine on guitar, Jake Martin on bass and Luke Tolcher on drums. Though their style is heavily rooted in the typical thrash of the 1980's they do however mix in elements of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (N.W.O.B.H.M) movement, hardcore punk and even 1950's Rock 'n Roll. They call their style "Hyper Thrash" because it is a reflection of their hyper-active stage antics and furiously fast musical style. Acid Age have played with many notable acts including Gama Bomb, The Dangerfields, Putrefy and Coilguns.

Formed on the 7th of January 2013 by vocalist and guitarist Jude McIlwaine, Acid Age originally took place as a solo recording project (recording one E.P titled "The Cyborg Thrashterpiece") until the addition of drummer Jason Harkness later in the month. By February 2013 Acid Age were a full band adding bass virtuoso Jake Martin. After a raise in interest on the internet as a result of The Cyborg Thrashterpiece E.P Acid Age were quickly signed to Northern Irish based label, "Punkerama Records" (Home to the likes of The Defects, Paranoid Visions and The U.K Subs). Acid Age's debut album (Enter the Zomborg) was released via CD and Digital Download in November 2013. Enter The Zomborg features guest appearances from John Roche the guitarist from GAMA BOMB and Tony Portaro Lead Vocalist and guitarist from WHIPLASH, this gave Acid Age a huge jump forward and has proved to be an iconic achievement as no other thrash metal band has ever had two internationally recognized musicians perform on a debut album. Enter the Zomborg was reissued by South Korean based label "Tachycardia Records" on the 24th of February 2014 featuring 3 bonus tracks from Acid Age's home recorded "TROMA-TIZED E.P" (Which was a self released E.P Acid Age has previously put out as a tribute to the New Jersey based independent film company "TROMA" and this was released as bonus tracks on the reissued version of Enter the Zomborg in Korea.

Acid Age announced on December 25th (Yes Christmas day) 2013 that they were intending to go back into the studio to work on the follow-up to Enter The Zomborg which was released on the 14th of November 2014. "Drone Shark Ethics" features more guest appearances including Felix Griffin (Ex-D.R.I and BAT) 
Luke Tolcher replaced Jason Harkness as the bands drummer in June 2014.
DSE was released via WITCHES BREW RECORDS (Who worked with bands like Toxic Holocaust, Gama bomb and Amok)

"Den am Anfang der Neunziger blieb ich hängen, wollte brücken sprengen,  mit heftigten rap lyrics die bangen!" 

Musikalische Sozialisierung durch Platten und Demotapes Sammlung des älteren Bruders in der zweiten hälfte der 80er. Punk, Heavy und Death Metal aber auch Liedermacher Rock`n`Roll und Blues Legenden. Erste eigene Erkundschaftungen führten dann zu House, Techno und vorallem Rap Musik insbesondere Deutschprachiger die schnell zur Obzessiven Sammel leidenschaft hinzukamen. Breakbeat/Bigbeat/Trip-Hop, Drum`n`Bass, Industrial, Dancehall, Soul&R&B folgen später sukzessive. Mainstream Pop hat natürlich inherent und immanent die gesamten Phasen mehr oder weniger begleitet und teils als brücke zur überwindung von grenzen fungiert. Björk, Jamiroquai, Red hot chili Peppers, Elton John, Madonna seien exemplarisch beispielhaft erwähnt. Grunge und Punk Wellen der 90er Nirvana, Green Day, The offspring begleiteten den wunsch einer eigenen Band und die ersten versuche welche jedoch nie mehr als diese bleiben sollten. Der erste eigene Computer mit dem magix music Maker 1.0 sollte alles ändern. TBC

Record Label specializing in Thrash, Death, Heavy, Doom and anything else that makes the head bang, beer flow and fist pump!
