Formed in 1989, the Dutch death metal unit forms after school mates Jos and Richard get together. Jos' sister Corinne asks to join the band on vocals and following the departure of original drummer Roeland, who departs to concentrate on his other band and studies, Serge whose own band had spilt up joins the band. Named after a type of poetry where the first letters of each line form a phrase, the band begins rehearsing in the August of 1989 and plays old United Brains' songs. Even though the band did attempt it, debut demo Prologue (released in March of 1990 and recorded on a four track) contained no Acrostics. Selling 500 copies of the demo, the band follows up with another tape in 1991 entitled Dehumanized this time recorded on a 16 track machine. This effort features the tracks Dehumanized and Thriving On Chaos on side one and Exasperation and Lost Remembrance on side two. Selling just below 1000 copies, the band signs with the ill-reputed label (although Acrostichon never have a complaint) Seraphic Decay and release a 7" entitled Lost Remembrance, release a Live '91 tape and appear on a CD sampler. The band also makes an appearance on the first of the famous DSFA compilations. Signing to the subsidiary of industrial label Intellectual Convulsion, the band's debut CD appears in 1993 (produced to the band's eventual disappointment by Colin Richardson) and is immediately a hit with fans of death metal and grindcore. The vocals of Corinne are deep and effective and many find it difficult to believe a female has the vocal range. Despite a self-arranged 4-date mini tour with Samael and Tiamat, the label's lack of funding and the fact that two band members attend school and the other two work full time does little for the band's chances. By the time the second album and an EP entitled Forgotten appear (both in 1995) the band has lost Richard (though he remains responsible for the art work), much interest and things fall apart after some shows with Sinsiter and others.
