THE ACACIA STRAIN Unveil Guest Vocalists and First Installment In Teaser Video Series

Massachusetts' metal mammoths, THE ACACIA STRAIN has confirmed the appearance of three guest vocalists on "Wormwood," their new album, due July 20th on Prosthetic Records. HATEBREED's Jamey Jasta, 100 DEMONS' Bruce LePage and Kyle Chard of BORN LOW all lend their vocal stylings to the album, which was recorded at Planet Z Studios in Hadley, MA with Zeuss (Hatebreed, Chimaira, Shadows Fall) handling producing, mixing and mastering. Jamey Jasta commented on the album's opening track, "The Beast," which he appears on: "The song is brutal, kids will lose their minds." The track listing is:

The Beast (Featuring Jamey Jasta)
The Hills Have Eyes
BTM FDR
Ramirez
Terminated
Nightman (Featuring Bruce LePage)
The Impaler
Jonestown (Featuring Kyle Chard on Itunes and Vinyl version only)

THE ACACIA STRAIN has also just released the first installment in a new series of videos documenting the mysteries surrounding the band since the completion of "Wormwood." Check out the first video featuring the band's longtime friend and tour manager, Swis, HERE.

The track "Jonestown" is now available as a digital single at Itunes. It can be downloaded, HERE. This is the version which will be on the "Wormwood" CD, without the guest vocals of Kyle Chard. The version featuring Chard will be available exclusively through Itunes and on the LP version. You can stream "Jonestown" now at the Prosthetic Webstore (store.prostheticrecords.com) where the official pre-order for the album, which will be available on CD and LP in six different colors, has been launched. "Wormwood," can be ordered on its own, or in a variety of different package combinations with shirts, hooded sweatshirts, in limited collectors' boxes (featuring an exclusive banner, pin and chip clip!) and more!
