Acheron (band)

Founded in 1988 by vocalist/bassist/songwriter Vincent Crowley (formerly of Nocturnus, and leader of the Satanic youth group "Order of the Evil Eye"), Acheron's musical output is almost exclusively Satanic and Anti-Christian in content. Early albums featured interludes by Peter H. Gilmore. In 2003, the band released an album of cover songs, ''Tribute to the Devil's Music'', including tracks originally recorded by Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Kreator, and Celtic Frost. On December 27, 2010, it was announced that Acheron have reunited. The band broke up again in 2019, and Vincent has since focused on underground projects. == Members ==
