Massachusetts has a laundry list of bands that have left their mark on the hardcore/metal world and The Acacia Strain certainly have left their mark on the scene. Fronted by Vincent Bennett, the sole original member, TAS burst onto the scene with 2004’s ‘3750’. The band practically lives on the road, and have supported several of their MA counterparts in Unearth, Killswitch Engage and traveling the globe several times over after dropping 7 albums over their 15+ year career. Their most recent offering, 2017’s ‘Gravebloom’, continues to showcase the bands penchant for an all out aural onslaught.
The Acacia Strain’s Vincent Bennett and guitarist Tom Smith Jr. sit down with co host Jon during a stop on the bands tour with Knocked Loose to discuss how the 10 year anniversary tour of Continent went, how that impacted the support of their latest album, Gravebloom. Nostalgia as a whole from fans who want to recreate a time period they weren’t around for, and what’s in store for The Acacia Strain going forward.
