Zespół Acheron powstał w Tampie na Florydzie już w 1988 roku, ale obecnie rezyduje gdzieś w Ohio. Zespół istnieje do dzisiaj, choć miał kilka przerw w działalności. Jedynym członkiem zespołu udzielającym się w nim od początku do dnia dzisiejszego jet wokalista i gitarzysta/basista Vincent Crowley, który był znany ze względu na zaangażowanie w struktury Church of Satan - zrezygnował z członkostwa w kilka lat po tym jak LaVey pożegnał się z tym światem.
Muzycznie mamy tutaj do czynienia z prostym Black/Death Metalem z specyficznym wokalem i dość surowym i brudnym brzmieniem, choć muzyka zmieniała się nieco wraz z kolejnymi pełniakami. Muzyka jest bardzo prosta, ale charakteryzuje się ciekawym i dość niepowtarzalnym, klimatem - wystarczy odpalić pierwszego pełniaka "Rites of the Black Mass".
