ACxDC - Take Your Cross Off And Join The Crowd

Review by Betty Baker

ACxDC's album Take Your Cross Off And Join The Crowd is a chaotic and intense ride that leaves listeners breathless. The band's blend of grindcore, punk, and hardcore is on full display throughout the album, with each track delivering blistering riffs, thundering drums, and aggressive vocals.

From the opening track "Destroy Create," ACxDC sets the tone for the album with a relentless assault of sound that doesn't let up until the final notes of "Paid In Full." The band's lyrics are equally unrelenting, tackling themes of social and political injustice with unapologetic fury.

Despite the album's unrelenting intensity, there are moments of musical experimentation that add depth and nuance to the overall sound. The instrumental track "Matapacos" is a standout, with its haunting melodies and atmospheric textures providing a brief respite from the album's more frenzied moments.

Summary by Betty Baker

Take Your Cross Off And Join The Crowd is a bold and uncompromising album that showcases ACxDC's formidable skills as musicians and songwriters. Fans of extreme music will find plenty to love here, while those looking for a challenge will be rewarded by the album's unrelenting intensity.
