The mammoth fourth album from Massachusetts THE ACACIA STRAIN is easily their most dynamic, focused and crushing to date. And with a huge European tour to coincide with Terror and Every Time I Die, Wormwood looks set to be their biggest album to date. It can be said some bands truly embody a certain spirit or emotion. Without a doubt, Massachusetts running modern metal chuggernauts, THE ACACIA STRAIN, truly embody anger. And that shows more than ever on their new full-length, Wormwood. The bands sound and vibe are more ferocious than ever on this, their fourth full-length for Prosthetic Records and fifth overall. Even the successes of their previous full-length, Continent, which debuted at #2 on Billboards Heatseekers chart in 2008 and their DVD, The Most Known Unknown, which debuted at #10 on Billboards Top Video Sales Chart in early 2009, has not assuaged front man and lyricist Vincent Bennetts turmoil. For Wormwood, the band returned to the scene of the creation of Continent; producer Zeuss Planet Z Studio in Hadley, MA, where hes previously worked with the likes of label-mates All That Remains, Hatebreed, The Red Chord, and more, where he engineered, mixed and mastered the slab of vitriol. This time around, we find guitarist D.L. experimenting with 8-string guitars, adding further depth and low end to the bands already stomach turning low end sound. The band will be appearing on this summers inaugural Cool Tour with As I Lay Dying, Underoath, Between the Buried And Me, Bless The Fall, Architects, Cancer Bats and War Of Ages in the US before returning to Europe as part of the Hell On Earth tour with Terror and Every Time I Die!
