It can be said come bands truly embody a certain spirit or emotion. Without a doubt, Massachusetts' long-running chuggernauts, The Acacia Strain, truly embody anger. And that shows more than ever on the band's new full-lenth release, Wormwood. The band's sound and vibe are more ferocious than ever on this, their fourth album for Prosthetic Records (and fifth overall).
Even the success of their previous release, Continent, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard "Heatseekers" Chart in 2008, and their DVD, The Most Known Unknown, which debuted on Billboard's Top Video Sales Chart in early 2009, has not assuaged frontman and lyricist Vincent Bennett's turmoil.
For Wormwood, the band returned to the scene of the creation of Continent producer Zeuss' Planet Z Studios in Hadley, MA, where he's previously worked with the likes of labelmate's All That Remains, Hatebreed, and The Red Chord, where he engineered, mixed and mastered the slab of vitriol. This time around, we find guitarist D.L. expiramenting with 8-string guitars, adding further depth and low-end to the band's already stomach-turning low-end sound.
The Acacia Strain will be apprearing on this summer's inaugural "Cool Tour" with As I Lay Dying, Underoath, Between The Buried And Me, Blessthefall, Architects, Cancer Bats, and War of Ages. The band's extensive tour history has seen them on the road previously with Unearth, Bleeding Through, Killswitch Engage, Despised Icon, and August Burns Red, and appeared on the "Sounds of the Underground" Tour, as well. |
