1 | Acrania is a {{Deathcore}} band hailing from London, England. Formed in 2012, they have made a name for themselves thanks to their slam/deathcore hybrid sound and their politically charged lyrics, and while they aren't the most prolific with albums, their influence within the scene is undeniable. |

27 | !LOOK! LOOK AT THE STATE OF THE WORLD! A TROPETALITARIAN DYSTOPIA! |
28 | * AntiPoliceSong: "Disillusion in a Discordant System", more specifically for corruption within the police force and its lack of accountability it has for its actions. |
29 | * CarefulWithThatAxe: Very, very common thanks to Luke Griffin's vocal style. |
30 | * {{Deathcore}}: Of the slam-tinged variant along with Music/SignsOfTheSwarm, Music/{{Vulvodynia}}, Music/{{Ingested}}, and Within Destruction. Sound-wise, they lean closer to the deathcore part of the slamming deathcore sound. |
31 | * EpicRocking: "A Gluttonous Abomination" off of ''Totalitarian Dystopia'' at 6 minutes 23 seconds. |
32 | * IndecipherableLyrics: Luke is one of the more infamous offenders of this trope thanks to his liberal use of pig squeals and MotorMouth. |
33 | * MetalScream: Types 1, 2, and 3 are used in conjunction with hefty amounts of pig squeals. |
34 | * MotorMouth: Frequently used in their music. |
35 | * NobodyLovesTheBassist: The band hasn't had a consistent bassist since 2013, with Jack Simmons handling bass and with guitar after Sam Bonnett left |
36 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Luke looks like he's in his 20s, but is actually 34 |
37 | * PoliceBrutality: Again, "Disillusion in a Discordant System". See AntiPoliceSong above |
38 | * ProtestSong: Their discography is practically made up of these, with "Disillusion in a Discordant System" the most well-known example. |
39 | * SpecialGuest: They've had guest appearances from Tom Barber (ex-Music/LornaShore, Music/ChelseaGrin, Darko US), Jamie Hanks (I Declare War, Sacrificer, ex-Those Who Lie Beneath), [[Music/ShadowOfIntent Ben Duerr]], and CJ [=McCreery=] (ex-Music/SignsOfTheSwarm, ex-Music/LornaShore, Immortal Disfigurement) while Kevin Schwartz (ex-Music/{{Pathology}}), Ben Ellis (Music/ScarSymmetry, ex-Bloodshot Dawn), and Mendel bij de Leij (ex-Music/{{Aborted}}) have contributed guitar work. |
