THE ACACIA STRAIN — Vincent Bennett, vocals, Devin Shidaker, lead guitar, Griffin Landa, bass, Mike Mulholland, guitar and Matt Guglielmo, drums — will unleash their new album “You Are Safe From God Here”. It arrives on October 24 via Rise Records.
“This record unapologetically THE ACACIA STRAIN; take that however you want,” the band declared upon announcement. “It’s angry, it’s sad, it’s us. We made a record that made us feel uncomfortable. We hope it makes you feel the same way.”
Uncomfortable isn’t a bad thing. Discomfort challenges you to expand yourself and it can transform you.
THE ACACIA STRAIN have today shared the video for new single “SWAMP MENTALITY.”
“The swamp is a place of rot, death, and decay; but it is also ripe with life and regeneration,” the band says.”You are safe from God in the points of darkness and decomposition. Seek your sanctuary. No one leaves the swamp.”
For a new release from THE ACACIA STRAIN, expect an uncompromising sonic assault that further solidifies their reign as titans of extreme music. This latest offering delves deeper into the crushing territories of sludge, doom, and death metal, while retaining the raw, unbridled aggression of their hardcore punk roots.
Lyrically, frontman Vincent Bennett once again navigates the bleak landscapes of misanthropy, nihilism, and existential dread, delivering his venomous pronouncements with unflinching intensity. Fans can anticipate a relentless barrage of bone-shattering breakdowns, cavernous riffs, and a palpable sense of impending doom that has become synonymous with THE ACACIA STRAIN’s destructive sound.
