ACIII (Almighty Conman the Third) is a progressive thrash project born in the Seattle/Tacoma underground, led by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Connor Hauser. What began as a personal studio experiment evolved into a high-powered metal act fusing classic thrash roots with modern intensity — including breakdowns, genre-blending arrangements, and anime-inspired lyricism. With influences spanning J-Rock, blues, and traditional metal, ACIII offers a fresh, global take on heavy music that balances technical musicianship with visual identity and raw energy.
