Left For Dead & Acrid - "Hacked To Pieces" Split LP


Here is one of the coolest looking records ever, the buzz saw shaped Left For Dead & Acrid split. Both bands are from Canada, but sound very different. Left For Dead rage through 9 tracks of pissed hardcore with some of the best lyrics ever and awesome double bass in parts, and Acrid tend to veer a little more towards the metal/grind side of hardcore with their 4 tracks. I like both bands, but it should be obvious that Left For Dead take this record.

The picture above is my copy of this split. i have no clue which pressing it is. anyone know?

  1. I don't know anything about the pressings, but as with most No Idea records there are about 1000 different color combos on this.

    1. Does anyone know how to tell the difference between the 2nd edition pink and the 3rd edition pink? I saw a picture of one that said it was the 2nd edition pink but looked more purple to me. I have a pink one but am stumped to which pressing it is.
