East Coast alternative metal ensemble the Acacia Strain utilize a bone-crushing rhythm section, apocalyptic samples, and a unique triple-guitar a**ault to deliver their signature blend of hardcore, noise, and d**h and doom metal. Formed in Springfield, MA, in 2002, the group consists of guitarists Daniel Daponde and Daniel Laskeiwitz, vocalist/guitarist Vincent Bennett, ba** player Seth Coleman, and drummer Kevin Boutot. They released their debut, 3750, on Prosthetic Records in 2002, followed by Dead Walk for Razor & Tie in 2006. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
