The Acacia Strain Announces “Six Feet Closer to Hell” US Tour and New Album Details
The Acacia Strain, titans of the metalcore and deathcore scene, have announced their highly anticipated "Six Feet Closer to Hell" US tour, sending shockwaves through the heavy music community. But that's not all - the band has also confirmed that their 13th album is on the horizon, promising a new chapter of sonic darkness.
Set to ignite stages across the US this summer, the tour features a powerhouse lineup of supporting acts including Bodysnatcher, Ingrown, No Cure, and Tribal Gaze. This stacked bill showcases both established and emerging forces in the genre, ensuring a night of unrelenting energy for metal fans across the country.
The tour kicks off on July 29th in Detroit, MI, at St Andrew's Hall, and will ravage through cities like Joliet, Minneapolis, Denver, Seattle, Los Angeles, and New York before culminating in a special event on August 23rd at The Palladium in Worcester, MA. This final date marks the band's 40th performance at the legendary venue and will be celebrated with the inaugural New England Sadness & Failure Festival. Joining The Acacia Strain for this momentous occasion will be On Broken Wings, Missing Link, Age of Apocalypse, Mongrel, Gigan, and one more special guest to be announced.
"The Palladium has withstood harsh punishment throughout the years," The Acacia Strain stated, "but it has never witnessed this."
Frontman Vincent Bennett offered insight into the band's upcoming album, teasing a rollercoaster of emotions poured into its creation. "During the writing and recording process I felt the full gamut of emotions... It’s angry, it’s sad, it’s a little ridiculous; it’s pure TAS. Welcome to the existential depressive low fantasy era."
In related news, Tribal Gaze has signed with Nuclear Blast, and Ingrown recently released their album 'Idaho'. No Cure had a popular hardcore release in 2024, and Age of Apocalypse also has a new album coming soon.
