Description
The Acacia Strain – “It Comes in Waves” LP
Formed in Massachusetts in 2001, and with numerous recordings made on Prosthetic and Rise Records, this progressive metal outfit have now made an impresive contribution to the Closed Casket Activities roster. Metalcore with a ferocious roar, massively expanding the genre (hard not to when when you are delivering a triple guitar assault), encompassing black metal, doom and post rock – somewhere near to both Deafheaven, and Cult Of Luna. At times its pretty close to what Coalesce were doing all those years ago, but going for thick and heavy, rather than twisted and technical.
