Store Spotting: We Caught the Acacia Strain!
Last week we received a pleasant albeit quick visit from our new brother in arms, Vincent Bennet. Maybe you know him? He’s the frontman for the Metalcore powerhouse that is The Acacia Strain. Vinny was in town to see Sleep perform their 8-hour long set at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple and decided to give us a visit before the show.
Besides being in The Acacia Strain, Vincent also has a fashion endeavor called Diamond Cut. Diamond Cut specializes in Straight Edge clothing (if there is such a thing) flipping classic hardcore iconography and pop culture to communicate a life long commitment to the edge which is catered to the hypesnobster in you!
The Acacia Strain will soon be leaving to headline an American tour with support from the Red Chord and Terror. This tour will certainly smash your face in properly! We will be supporting them by preparing our own form of black magic to add to the tour.
If you’re new to The Acacia Strain then do check out their punishing sound on the video for “The Hills Have Eyes” off their newest album, Wormwood. Keep Watch on the Bloglin for more details on our evil plans with TAS!

Vince is a solid dude. I met him a couple times in my hxc band days and have nothing but good things to say bout him and his band. “I HAVE GIVEN UP ON YOU”=Brilliant metalcore sing along/breakdown moment. I get shivers still when I hear it.
