AC ANGRY

*** ESSENTIAL HARD ROCKERS’ UPLIFTING NEW ‘APPETITE FOR ERECTION’ STUDIO ALBUM UNLEASHED NOVEMBER 25TH ON STEAMHAMMER / SPV***
‘Appetite For Erection’, AC Angry’s sophomore album, set for release on November 25th on Steamhammer / SPV, is a strident, pure rock’n’roll delight, packed with ten catchy, humour-laden, ass-kicking, hard rocking compositions.

AC Angry’s debut album, ‘Black Denim’, released in 2013, went straight in at number one on Amazon Germany’s hard rock and metal download chart, simultaneously breached the German National album chart at 39 and surged to 26 in Amazon UK’s Rock & Metal Chart. A slew of rave reviews as well as gigs and tours with the likes of Saxon, Airbourne and Black Label Society ensued.

Roctopia.co.uk’s review of ‘Black Denim’ stated that ‘AC Angry are, fittingly, purveyors of take no prisoners riff driven angry rock. This is heads down, devil horns and air guitar stuff, and to be honest you’d never guess it was from a German band. Building on the good work of bands like Therapy?, Andrew WK and Black Label Society, ‘Black Denim’ is an album of full speed ahead no nonsense rock.” Metal Forces awarded it 8/10, declaring that “The music of AC Angry is firmly built around vocalist / guitarist Alan Costa. Costa has a perfect voice for rock. Not so fierce that it only suits metal, and definitely not smooth enough for pop, this is a muscular voice that demands attention, and perfectly suits the band’s balls to the wall, dirty rock music. Songs like ‘Rocker’ could easily fit into the more groove-oriented side of a Motörhead album, and title track ‘Black Denim’ would make the Denim Demons in Turbonegro proud. The music on ‘Black Denim’ brings back the danger to rock music, and Alan Costa is leading the charge.”

Vocalist / guitarist Costa reflects that “We were absolutely happy with our debut ‘Black Denim’, but we knew we could do better and top it with our second release. You can tell that we toured a lot in the past three years and the energy and experience from countless concerts have influenced our song writing. The target was clear; we wanted our songs to sound straightforward but catchy, haunting yet delivered just right so that people can sing along to them. If that’s what they want to do.” Which is exactly what listeners will want to do the moment the first bars of album opener ‘I Hate AC Angry’ crash out of the speakers, and just what audiences did when ‘I Want To Hurt Somebody’ was added to the set list at AC Angry’s recent live shows.

The pace lets up on acoustic guitar riff based songs such as ‘Cry Idiot Cry’, ‘Son Of A Motherfucker’s Son’, and ‘No Way To Go Down’, a dark song about bitter reality; “The title has no sexual connotations but refers to situations in which you are tempted, go under, lose. Definitely no fun track” muses Alan. 

‘Appetite For Erection’, which was produced by Phil Hillen (Powerwolf) at the SU2 Studio in Saarwellingen, is a barnstorming juggernaut of an album, utterly bursting with an enviable musical muscle that will indubitably take the rock world by storm.
