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.
