1Acrania 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.

26
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.
