ACIDGROUND to Release New Single ‘Addictions’ on June 13th

Musical duo ACIDGROUND, composed of Vins (Bound) and Fabrizio (Drago Balcano), announces the release of their powerful new single “Addictions”, available from June 13, 2025 via Wanikiya Record/Promotion. This marks a new chapter in their dark and visceral musical diary, blending Grunge, Stoner Rock, and Dark/Doom in the footsteps of giants such as Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Type O Negative, and Kyuss.

The track tackles the universal and multifaceted theme of addiction with brutal clarity and emotional sensitivity. But “Addictions” is not what it seems. It’s not just about drugs, alcohol, or gambling. The single dives deep into the hidden core of every addiction: the original trauma. A trauma capable of creating invisible yet profoundly real abysses—emotional dependency, obsession with control, self-sabotage, or even seemingly “healthy” forms like competitive sports. Anything born of imbalance, the song says, is a deep crack that feeds on our vulnerabilities.

ACIDGROUND, meaning “acidic ground,” symbolizes the adversity the human being walks through every day. Their music is a cathartic ritual, digging into pain to transform it into sound, resistance, and light. After the EP “Evil Blues”—whose cover depicted a hand emerging from the ground as a symbol of strength and rebirth—hands return again in “Addictions”, as visual protagonists of the human journey made of contact, struggle, and survival.

Bound, vocalist and songwriter, is the dark soul of the project. He has explored punk, metal, pop, and reggae, ultimately finding himself in grunge and stoner rock, where he now channels his deep, layered voice. Every ACIDGROUND composition bears his sonic signature, built over the years like a mosaic of experiences, choices, and scars.

Drago Balcano, multi-instrumentalist and visionary spirit, has traversed countless musical paths—from metal to reggae, singer-songwriter music to meditative sounds—ultimately crafting a unique language that unites spirituality and matter. After an accident that temporarily took away the use of his left hand, he turned suffering into creativity: composing with a tablet, writing music for documentaries, and performing worldwide with projects such as Palmood, El Viaje del Alma, Garibaldi, Hybridcode, and many others.

“Addictions” represents the meeting point between two opposing yet complementary souls. A song that doesn’t offer easy answers but raises deep questions. That doesn’t judge, but accompanies. That doesn’t scream, but digs deep.

The single will be available on all digital platforms starting June 13, 2025, released under the Wanikiya Record/Promotion label.
