THE ACACIA STRAIN’S FOURTH STUDIO RECORD RELEASE & HEADLINING TOUR!



In the midst of copy cat & cookie cutter bands, THE ACACIA STRAIN stand out as a group that sidesteps convention and the mundane and continuously produce gripping, technical, blistering metal. THE ACACIA STRAIN is known for their down-tuned guitar sound and nasty breakdowns; as the band combines the elements of abrasive death metal, and hardcore. The Massachusetts four-some will be proudly releasing their fourth studio record, Continent, via Prosthetic Records on August 19th, 2008. The band tapped acclaimed producer Zeuss (Hatebreed, Shadows Fall, God Forbid) for this next release. The artwork for Continent was done by none other then Paul Romano (Chiodos, Mastodon, Trivium, The Red Chord)



THE ACACIA STRAIN is bringing the onslaught to the road and to the fans, headlining the SUN YOUR BUNZ tour, with dates running from May 30 to June 29. Nuclear Blast’s All Shall Perish and fellow Massachusetts hardcore masters, Since the Flood are on the road as support with select dates featuring The Warriors and Eternal Lord.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


that sounds like no other band i have ever heard before...

The Acacia Strain is a photocopy of a cellphone photo of a finger paint drawing of a cookie cutter band. This band is so unoriginal they'd have to aspire just to be a cookie cutter band.

Blood Has Been Shed

dudes... its ok... they tune to negative G brown note so even if they play the riffs exactly the same as every other band ever... the notes are different so its ok.

"technical blistering metal" and "abrasive death metal" to describe acacia strain is LOLZOZLOZLOZLOLZ

Vincent is a cool dude and has always treated me with respect so I give them a thumbs up!

dude i'm there the 29th i need to buy new nikes though

exactly
