After the bands formation in March 2008, Acrimony hailing from Bhopal is all set to release their debut E. P. titled – “False Vacuum”. Known for its unique sound which can be best defined as Progressive Metal with ample influences of Indian Classical Music & Djent, Acrimony has established itself as one of the torch-bearers of Metal for the state of Madhya Pradesh.
The album is title refers to a sub-theory of the theory of a ‘Parallel universe’ i.e. “The False Vacuum Theory”. According to which, “When the universe began, instead of a gravitational pull to keep things together, there was a reverse type of gravitation working and instead repelled everything from it, which was termed a ‘false vacuum.’ The two conditions are separated, of course, by some energy barrier at the center, thereby forming a metastable system.”
The five tracks in E.P. have found their focal point at such metastable system that displays the existence of two distinct parallel worlds, where corrupt, timid souls from the world of make-believe (mocked by calling it the “true” vacuum) is being dragged by an inevitable force onto ‘the other side’ (called the “false” vacuum), the world of suffering.
It is believed under the false vacuum theory that the transition from one world to the other can only be triggered by the most powerful forces there can ever be, and the five tracks have infact depicted how the emotions at their absolute extreme (“rage”, “grief” as in case of the EP’s tracks) can trigger a force so powerful that it drives through the dividing energy barrier, out on to the other side.
