Acheron

Acheron (/ˈækərən, -ɒn/) was an American death/black metal band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, formed by Vincent Crowley in 1988. The band is named after the mythological river Acheron (Ancient Greek: Ἀχέρων – Akhérōn) located in the underworld realm of Hades in ancient Greek mythology. They are not to be confused with the 1990s Australian death metal band Acheron, nor with the 1980s/1990s American power metal band Acheron, nor with any of the numerous lesser-known European thrash and death metal bands bearing similar names between the 1980s and today.
