New England’s The Acacia Strain, veterans of the scene for almost two decades, have dropped “D,” a new seven inch and digital release through Rise Records. It includes two tracks: “Feed A Pigeon, Breed A Rat” and “Seeing God,” the latter of which features Aaron Heard of Jesus Piece/Nothing. The band has yet again surprised fans with new music. Their last album, “It Comes in Waves” was released with little warning back in December of 2019.
“I’ve been meaning to get Aaron on a track for a while now, and his part in this song is perfect,” says singer Vincent Bennett. “This song is the beginning of our slow descent into madness. We all see our own god eventually.”
The seven inch version is available for order here.
The Acacia Strain just embarked on a headline tour with support from Rotting Out, Creeping Death, Chamber, and Fuming Mouth. Creeping Death will not appear from March 14 through March 18. The tour kicks off on today in New Haven, Connecticut and runs through April 5 in Philadelphia. All dates are below.
