Ácido Argentino is the second studio album by Argentine thrash metal band Hermética, released in 1991 by Trípoli Discos.
Background and recording
[edit]As of 1991, Hermética was growing in popularity. They ceased to make concerts at Arlequines, as the pub was too small for their growing audience, and moved to Cemento, a nightclub that was moving away from its origins in disco music and hosting rock concerts instead. They made all the remaining concerts of the year in that Nightclub. During the year they played with Todos Tus Muertos, Pobres Pibes, Nepal, Militia, Devastación, Rapier, Resistencia Nativa, etc.[1]
The drummer Tony Scotto resigned from the band, in disagreement over the way to manage it. His replacement was Claudio Strunz, drummer of Heinkel. The band already knew him, because Strunz owned their rehearsal room. Even more, Strunz had already played with the band in rehearsals a few times Scotto could not attend them, and even in the sound tests before Scotto's last concert with the band. Their first concert was in a music festival in Sunchales, Santa Fe.[1] Strunz had to learn all the songs of the band in a pair of weeks before going on a tour, and after it he had to learn all the new songs for the new album, also in a pair of weeks.[2]
The band had a limited recording time. Strunz had only six hours to record all the drums, and Iorio had to finish some lyrics in the studios.[3]
Reception
[edit]The album was certified Gold for its sales.[4]
