AC4 is the no frills vision of musician Dennis Lyxzen, (REFUSED, THE (INTERNATIONAL) NOISE CONSPIRACY, INVASIONEN, etc). In AC4, he is joined by friends and former members of Umea Hardcore bands DS-13, STEP FORWARD, REGULATIONS, E.T.A, and THE VECTORS. Together AC4 pay homage to bands like MINOR THREAT while adding their own spin to the tried and true spirit that brought inspiration in their youth.
Check out my recent interview with the band at this location.
Here’s the rest of the official word from Deathwish Inc.:
Released by a partnership of Deathwish and the Ny Vag label (Scandinavia) “Burn The World” is the second album from AC4. “Burn The World” is sixteen songs of social, political, and personal unrest transformed into primitive hardcore punk anthems. All of them awesomely executed and unforgettable.
