Music

2017 saw the release of Acid Gambit's debut album Nemesis, an exploration of sci-fi comic book villiany and its eventual triumph over good. It combines heavy beats with an 80s synthesizer palette, painting with a broad brush spanning from modern Synthwave to 50s horror nostalgia.

Exploring themes of extra-terrestrial visitation and government conspiracy, Phenomenon will make you want to believe. Sci-fi synths and heavy beats bring you back to a time where tinfoil hats were funny and nobody was spying on us (as far as we knew).

In the spirit of a 1950s sci-fi thriller, Entity exposes a sinister conspiracy to replace the inhabitants of Earth with alien hybrids. Driving beats and thick synths tell the ghastly story and then erase your memory so that nothing will stand in the way of the alien agenda.

A massive meteorite exposes an ancient hidden secret, forcing the shadow government to accelerate its alien hybridization experiments. Only the wisdom of a child from another world can oppose their folly and reverse the plague of shape-shifting humans.

About

An sinister conspiracy is exposed. Facilitated by secret government programs, strange beings from another world walk among us slowly influencing our culture and controlling our thoughts. The only thing protecting us from their treachery is the music of Acid Gambit.

Combining themes of 1950s sci-fi and horror films with 1990s conspiracy thrillers, Acid Gambit paints a colorful caricature of our modern dystopian life. With one hand firmly gripping the past and the other reaching for the future, Acid Gambit crafts the heavy beats and driving bass that set the mood for the coming cataclysm.

Laboring in the synth craft for more than 25 years, Acid Gambit has forged a style that is ready for the future. The combination of aging hardware, old sequences on floppy disks, modern software synths, and digital audio has yielded a flood of synth leads, arpeggiated bass lines, and hard-hitting EBM beats. What started out as a basement experiment has matured into its own distinct character through the encouragement of the synthwave community.

Acid Gambit is proud to have called Atlanta home from its experimental beginnings in the 1990s until today.
