The Acacia Strain to tour with Veil of Maya and more

MA’s The Acacia Strain has announced a co-headline fall tour with Chicago, IL’s Veil of Maya running 11/24-12/16. Offering support on the tour is Upon A Burning Body, Volumes and Twitching Tongues. The trek, presented by All In Merchandise will be preceded by a short record release tour that runs from 10/4- 10/14 with Cruel Hand, I Declare War, Fit For An Autopsy and No Bragging Rights opening.

Frontman Vincent Bennett says, “We are very excited to head out on this tour. We try and keep every tour we do as diverse as possible, this is not an exception. Make sure you come out early and check out Twitching Tongues. They will definitely be turning some heads! “

VIP tickets will be available starting at 3pm est this Thursday, September 20 at http://soundrink.com. The general on sale date is this Friday, September 21 at 3pm est.

The Acacia Strain’s Rise Records debut LP, Death is the Only Mortal will be out on October 9. On the subject of the album’s title, Bennett recently explained to Hails & Horns Magazine, “The record is about humanity’s personalization and obsession with death. Life never really ends because it cycles over and over. It is infinite and immortal. Energy is transferred and life grows out of death. Death itself is an illusion. Humanity gave death a face and a name. When the last of humanity dies, so does the idea of death. Some of us are so concerned with death that we forget to live. “
