Biography

Acranius is a 5-piece-death-metal-outfit from northern Germany. In 2009 the band was formed as a 2-man-project by Lars Torlopp and Björn Frommberger. From the beginning on their highest aim has always been to write slamming death metal songs including elements of brutal Deathcore and Hardcore. This unique style is still their brand mark and made them a well-known benchmark in the scene. 
 In 2011 the german label 'Rising Nemesis Records' signed the band to release their first EP 'The Echo Of Her Cracking Chest'. After releasing the EP Tom Brümmer (Vocals) and Christoph Haak (Drums) joined the band. With this line up the band played their first live shows and recorded their first full-length called 'When Mutation Becomes Homicidal' which was also released via Rising Nemesis Records in 2013. Due to musical differences Christoph Haak and Tom Brümmer left the band in the end of 2013. Early 2014 Rob Arndt (Drums) and Kevin Petersen (Vocals) joined the band to complete a full line up again. Together they wrote, recorded and released their second album 'Dishonor' in 2014 and third full-length album 'Reign of Terror' in 2017 via Rising Nemesis Records. For their 10th anniversary Acranius re-recorded their first EP 'The Echo Of Her Cracking Chest' which will be released in October 2019. In 2020 Marcus Jasak (former Science of Sleep) joined the band as an additional vocalist. With this line up the squad brought their release 'Mercy Denied' to a new level.
