Definición y significado de acrimony

From Wikipedia

Acrimony were a Welsh stoner metal band who were active during the 1990s. Releasing their debut album in 1994, they are regarded as the pioneers of stoner metal in the United Kingdom, and an important influence upon the scene.^[1][2] Although the band never achieved mainstream success, during their career they received much critical acclaim – they were nominated for the Kerrang! Best Newcomer award and earned top review ratings.^[3][4] Acrimony have maintained a cult following in the British metal scene, their records reportedly selling for vast sums as collectors items.^[5] Allmusic described their musical style as "typical mid-'90s stoner rock" that "combined Black Sabbath's heavy metal riffery, Hawkwind's space rock excursions, and Blue Cheer's fuzzed-out psychedelic feedback with extreme doses of volume ... particularly reminiscent of desert metal gods Kyuss."

2001 - Present

Since their split in 2001, Stu O'Hara went on to play guitar in Iron Monkey before the outfit disbanded and Stu, fellow guitarist Dean Berry and bassist Doug Dalziel teamed up with Fabric's Chris Turner and Tony Sylvester to form the Dukes Of Nothing. He was also involved in Swansea-based crust/'trampcore' six-piece Black Eye Riot along with Lee and Dorian. Darren and Mead formed The 9ine and Mead has his own trance project Yeti. As of 2008, Stu, Mead, Darren and Dorian have re-grouped and are currently writing tracks, although they're reported to be "different" to Acrimony. They are currently nameless.
