WTF is War-Jazz?
Acid Age are a power trio from Northern Ireland.
They are self-described as "war-jazz" but rooted in thrash metal.
There is no description for the term "war-Jazz" and there are no limitations to the amount of riffs that are contained within it.
One minute your head might be bouncing to a thrash riff before being subdued by a blast of euphoric jazz fusion improv.
Jude Milk: Vocals and Guitar
Judes vocal stylings are in the death thrash vein citing influences such as Darren Travis (Sadus) Chuck Schuldiner (Death) and David Lee Roth.
Guitar wise he prefers his Les Paul Classic which he calls "Linda" and cites guitar influences such as Eddie Van Halen, Al Di Meola and Dave Carlo (Razor)
​
Jake Martin: Bass
Jake plays fluid fusion riffs with the edge of a metal bassist.
He will switch effortlessly between his fine selection of fretted and fretless five string basses. He cites bassists such as Steve Digiorgio, John Ferrara and Larry Graham as his major influences.
​
Aran Howe: Drums
​
Aran is a master of swing even at high bpms. With the subtle control of a 70s prog drummer and the speed and aggression of the most explosive death metal drummers, Arans drumming is only surpassed by his gentlemens etiquette.
His influences include Dave Lombardo, Gene Hoglan and Neil Peart.
