Karhide is a solo studio project led by Tim Waterfield. Tim is the former main man of Ann Arbor, but Karhide is a totally different beast. With "Acadia", Tim has composed eight sumptuous masterpieces heavily influenced by the beauty and harshness of his time spent in Maine, USA. Drawing influences from the likes of Black Sabbath, Slint, Pelican, Isis, Godflesh, Mogwai, 65Daysofstaic, Aereogramme, Mono, Maybeshewill, Atlantis and Princess, to name just a few, the result is a fusion between post rock, hardcore and electronica. On hearing the CD, Rock Sound immediately included Karhide as one of their bands to watch for 2010 and included the track "Stooge" on their cover CD. The initial release of the CD will be limited to 500 copies and has been hand screen printed, including a 12 page full colour booklet. The record was recorded in both the US and the UK, with drums added by Scott Briggs (My War, Sanzen and currently F.U.K) at the Moot Group in Nottingham.
