A spearhead of French death black metal, ACOD celebrates nearly 20 years of existence with Versets Noirs (Hammerheart Records, 2024), a dark, cinematic, and captivating sixth album. Recorded at Studio Artmusic (Svart Crown) and mastered by Jacob Hansen (Arch Enemy), this new chapter explores witchcraft through ambitious compositions like “Habentis Malefica,” a 20-minute track.

​

ACOD has graced the most prestigious stages, from Hellfest to the 70.000 Tons of Metal, and shared the road with Cradle of Filth, Arch Enemy, and Cannibal Corpse. Their strength? Their incandescent stage rituals, where intensity, journey, and atmosphere merge to captivate all metal audiences. Hailing from the scorched lands of the Mediterranean, ACOD proudly brandishes its trident : a symbol of a strong, mystical, and decidedly conquering identity.

​

The future? The final album of the trilogy is on the horizon!

New label, new booker, the trident is starting a blank slate to close out the trilogy as it should be, continuing their epic journey into the abyss.
