Ácido Argentino
Second studio album by Hermética
Ácido Argentino is the second studio album by Argentine thrash metal band Hermética, released in 1991 by Trípoli Discos. It is the first album with the drummer Claudio Strunz. The songs were written by Ricardo Iorio and Antonio Romano, and the lyrics by Iorio. It was recorded in 500 hours, and was certified platinum within a few months of its release.
Background and recording
As of 1991, Hermética was growing in popularity. They ceased to make concerts at Arlequines, as the pub was too small for their growing audience, and moved to Cemento, a nightclub that was moving away from its origins in disco music and hosting rock concerts instead. They made all the remaining concerts of the year in that nightclub. During the year they played with Todos Tus Muertos, Pobres Pibes, Nepal, Militia, Devastación, Rapier, Resistencia Nativa, etc.
The drummer Tony Scotto resigned from the band, in disagreement over the way to manage it. His replacement was Claudio Strunz, drummer of Heinkel.

Why this record matters
The phrase “second studio album by Hermética” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q8076502. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1991.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
