The Acacia Strain Posts New Song, "The Combine," Online

Massachusetts' metallers, THE ACACIA STRAIN, have posted another track, "The Combine," from the band’s forthcoming album, "Continent," along with the third episode in a series of TAS TV episodes on the band’s MySpace page. The previous episodes, as well as the track “Skynet” and a pre-production version of “Dr. Doom,” are available there in the meantime. Due out August 19 through Prosthetic Records, pre-orders are available here.

THE ACACIA STRAIN will play a handful of local record release shows before hitting the road this fall as support to Unearth and Protest The Hero alongside Whitechapel and Gwen Stacy.

Featuring elaborate artwork again from Paul Romano and production by Zeuss (Hatebreed, Shadows Fall), "Continent" is THE ACACIA STRAIN’s fourth full-length and is the follow-up to 2006’s "The Dead Walk."
