Blowing Your Ears Off

Acid, founded in 1980 in Bruges, Belgium, are regarded as one of the first forerunners of speed metal on the European continent. Vocalist Kate de Lombaerd, guitarists Dirk Simoens (Dizzy Lizzy) and Donald Devers (Demon), bassist Peter (T-Bone) and drummer Geert (Anvill) recorded three highly regarded albums for Giant Records in the form of “Acid” (1983), “Maniac” (1983) and “Engine Beast” (1985) before parting ways in the mid-1980s. Around 2019, Kate de Lombaerd came up with the plan to try again. With the help of Mathieu Trobec (bass), Gilles Reuse (guitar), Andreas Stieglitz (guitar) and Bastiaan Andriessen (drums), they came together a little later under the name Kate's Acid. Acclaimed live performances followed, including at Keep It True Rising (2021) and again at Keep It True in 2023, where the present album “Blowing Your Ears Off” was also recorded. 1. Maniac 2.
