UK melodic metalcore group Acres have their new album “The Host” on track for a May 02nd release through Solid State Records. Below you can check out a video for the freshly debuted single “Bloodlust” from it. Landon Tewers, frontman of gold-certified metalcore band The Plot In You, produced this new album.
Speaking of the writing and recording process for it, Acres vocalist Ben Lumber shared:
“‘The Host‘ represents a bold step in a new direction for us as a band, we’ve always pushed ourselves to evolve with every album and never write the same record twice. This time the process was unlike anything we’ve done before, working with Landon Tewers brought a fresh perspective and added a new flair to our sound that we’re really excited about!”
As for “Bloodlust“, he stated:
“‘Bloodlust‘ is a track about a toxic relationship between you and addiction, we call ‘The Host‘. It’s about giving in and giving up to it. You know it’s bad for you, but you can’t live without it. It’s the perfect way to start the record, a first peek into the downward spiral of letting the host in and letting it consume you.”
“The Host” track listing:
01 – “Bloodlust”
02 – “Not So Different”
03 – “Staring At The Sun”
04 – “Built To Bleed”
05 – “Your Goodbye”
06 – “Steal The Light”
07 – “Around Again”
