Accuser (own spelling: Accu§er ) is a German thrash metal band from Siegen .
history
Founded in the early 1980s in Kreuztal , Accu§er were among the first German thrash metal bands, but, unlike the greats like Kreator , Sodom , Protector and Destruction, could only draw attention to themselves within the scene. The band failed to achieve international success until the end, while some successes could be achieved within Germany.
After recording several demos, Accu§er only got a record deal with Atom H in 1986 . A year later the first album The Conviction was released, on which, similar to the successor Experimental Errors, typical German Thrash was played in the style of the bands mentioned. On the two following albums, however, the band's sound became more technical and aggressive and moved in the direction of American thrash metal bands such as Exodus or Testament . After the last album Taken by the Throat, which was released in 1995 and contained many elements of modern, more groovy Thrash and hardcore , Accu§er disbanded due to lack of commercial success and musical differences.
In 2002 there was a reunion of the band, as the demand for Accu§er among the fans persisted and the guitarists Frank Thoms and René Schütz were repeatedly asked about the old songs when their band Scartribe, which was founded after Accu§er had ended, repeatedly asked them. Accu§er also produced a demo tape called Scartribe Demo this year .
Accu§er became active again at the beginning of 2008 and has been working under this name again since then. On July 12th, 2008 the first reunion concert with new material was given. Since then, festivals and concerts have been played and other albums have been released. The current CD Diabolic was released on April 12, 2013.
