The Acacia Strain | The Dead Walk

Metalcore never seems to disappoint me lately, especially coming out of the New England area. Call it down tuned nu-metal, whatever. I’ve been wanting to hear more of The Acacia Strain since sampling a little bit online awhile back but I couldn’t find the cd in stores and I’m one of those people that rarely orders cd’s online.

If you didn’t already know,The Acacia Strain kick ass. This entire album (The Dead Walk) is great. The lyrics are brutal, the guitars are low and heavy and the drums are mixed beautifully. There is nothing I like better than a perfectly mixed sound, where nothing over-powers anything else. The songs are short, sweet and to the point. I can’t wait to see what else they have to offer later this year. You can check out the track Dr. Doom, from the upcoming Album “Continent” set for an August release, on the bands Myspace.
