The Acacia Strain

Concertgoers at Gramercy Theater enjoyed a lengthy day of music as a long list of bands were on the bill for this year’s All Stars Tour headlined by I See Stars, Like Moths to Flames and the Acacia Strain.

Heavy metal maniacs went into a frenzy as the Acacia Strain came to New York City for the last date of their No Way Out tour on Sunday (Sept. 15). Support for the night included Within the Ruins, Fit for an Autopsy and Xibalba.

Just before they head to Europe for a series of shows and festivals across the pond, Hatebreed have announced a North American tour with Shadows Fall, the Acacia Strain and Battlecross that launches in September. The first batch of dates are below, with more to be announced.

Who: Lamb of God, Decapitated, Terror + The Acacia Strain

Now that Randy Blythe has been acquitted of all charges in his controversial Czech manslaughter case, Lamb of God have announced that they will be embarking on a U.S. tour this spring. In addition, the band has also planned a very unique mountain retreat for a select group of fans this summer.

Meshuggah just crushed Six Feet Under in our latest Death Match. With the Swedish giants stomping out their second band in a row, they find themselves halfway to the Death Match Hall of Fame and becoming the first act to ever have two songs inducted. However, they now go against fellow Death Match Hall of Famers.

Who: Every Time I Die, The Acacia Strain, Vanna, Hundreth + No Bragging Rights

Every Time I Die are in the midst of a tour with the Chariot, and have now announced they will be hitting the road again in February 2013 with the Acacia Strain.

Deathcore act the Acacia Strain have been forced to leave their co-headlining slot on their tour with Veil of Maya after a "serious" van accident injured band members and crew.

Congratulations are in order for the Acacia Strain. Their continued success in the Death Match has brought the Mass. band to the Hall of Fame after four consecutive victories.
