THE ACACIA STRAIN Release “Sensory Deprivation” Track From The Depression Sessions

In December 2015, three bands with three different stylistic approaches to aggressive music, but a common outlook on the world, came together to create a collective piece of work – The Depression Sessions. Those three bands were Thy Art Is Murder, The Acacia Strain and Fit For AnN Autopsy and on August 12th, Nuclear Blast Entertainment will release the results of this experience both digitally and on limited edition vinyl.

The Acacia Strain have made the track “Sensory Deprivation” available for download on all major digital music platforms. Receive the song, along with “They Will Know Another” by Thy Art Is Murder, as an instant download now when you pre-order the album digitally via iTunes and Amazon.

“An opportunity presented itself by way of two bands doing a split as friends,” states The Acacia Strain vocalist Vincent Bennett. “We kinda forced our way onto it and took over. We had 3 months to write a song. We waited until the last minute to actually write it while we were on tour. Sometimes we work better under pressure”.

In regards to this achievement, the parties involved have released the following collective statement: “After months of heavy touring, a cold NJ background set the tone for a dark, honest, and moody record. We gave some nods to the bands we grew up listening to and took some new risks in our own songs. More importantly, this record is a statement of community. We live in a very competitive and selfish world, and it this is proof it doesn’t have to be like that. It’s the friendships you make along the way, between the artists you share the stage with that you’ll take away with you long after the shows are over. Support your peers; the whole music scene will be better for it. Thank you for listening.”

The Depression Sessions was produced, engineered, mixed and mastered by Will Putney. All the bands tracked in December 2015 at Graphic Nature Audio in Belleville, NJ. Cover art was created by Dan Bradley with a layout by Forefathers.
