    Acid Blade is a heavy metal band from Dresden, Germany, delivering raw and honest music rooted in the spirit of 1980s heavy metal. Formed by former members of Angel Blade, the band emerged with a clear vision to carry forward the legacy of traditional heavy metal, drawing heavily from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. After releasing a demo in 2021, they signed with Jawbreaker Records and launched their debut album, “Power Dive,” in 2022, followed by the EP “Shooting Star” in 2023.

  2. Bullet the Blue Sky*

    I went outside 
    to watch the 
    stars.
    
    It is as if 
    all the bullets 
    from the war 
    have been fired 
    into the sky,
    tearing holes 
    in the black velvet 
    for a little bit 
    of heaven 
    to shine 
    through.
    
    Every once 
    in a while 
    the fabric rips 
    as a shooting star 
    races across 
    the sky,
    but then 
    it quickly 
    mends 
    itself.
