THE ACACIA STRAIN To Participate in VAN'S WARPED TOUR 2011

THE ACACIA STRAIN have confirmed they will play this summer's VAN'S WARPED TOUR, which kicks off in Dallas, Texas on June 24th and ends in Hillsboro, Oregon on August 14th. The band will play songs from their entire catalog, including their latest release, "Wormwood," which was released in July 2010 and debuted at number 67 on the US Billboard Top 200 chart, their highest chart appearance. This is the band's first appearance on the VAN'S WARPED TOUR and will definitely bring carnage to every city they play.

Vocalist Vincent Bennett commented: "Warped tour is a notch in the belt of The Acacia Strain that we have been waiting to add to our 'did it!' list for a long time. We are proud to finally be able to join the ranks of warped tour alumni. Although music has changed over the years, we won't forget our roots. See you this summer!"

In the meantime, THE ACACIA STRAINwill be on tour with WHITE CHAPEL and VEIL OF MAYA for the WELCOME TO HELL TOURacross the US and Canada in February into March and on the European leg of the WELCOME TO HELL TOUR with WHITE CHAPEL and IMPENDING DOOM in April.

While it can be said that certain bands 'embody' an attitude, lifestyle, or belief, Massachusetts' long-standing quartet, THE ACACIA STRAIN, ARE anger. This shines thru now more than ever on their most recent full length, "Wormwood." The band's fourth effort for Prosthetic Records is without a doubt their heaviest, most aggressive and relentless record to date. Start to finish, "Wormwood" is sure to both impress and strike fear into the hearts of all who dare listen to it.
