Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats

After six years without a new record, they return with one inspired by 70s Italian murder-mystery cinema.

Inspired by 70s Italian slasher horror and crime flicks, Cambridge-based psychedelic doomsters Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats return with an imaginary soundtrack, Nell’ Ora Blu (The Blue Hour), for their sixth album. It’s a bit of a change from their usual busy schedule of touring with the likes of Black Sabbath, King Diamond and Ghost, says founder and frontman Kevin Starrs.

It’s been a while since the last Uncle Acid album, 2018’s Wasteland. You were quite busy, weren’t you?

Touring, yes! We went out with King Diamond in Europe, then went to Australia, New Zealand and Japan… We were one of the last bands out and playing until lockdown in 2020.

The King Diamond shows must have been a blast.
