The Acacia Strain‘s new album cycle is officially in motion with tonight’s (July 17th) premiere of “A CALL BEYOND“. That song will be included on their next full-length outing, “You Are Safe From God Here“, due out October 24th via Rise Records. The deathcore band worked on this thirteenth full-length outing with producer Randy LeBoeuf (Gideon, Kublai Khan TX).
The band commented of this new outing, “This record unapologetically The Acacia Strain; take that however you want. It’s angry, it’s sad, it’s us. We made a record that made us feel uncomfortable. We hope it makes you feel the same way.” As for landing on “A CALL BEYOND” as the first single, the group shared:
“We had a hard time landing on one song to release first over all the others — it gets more difficult to pick ‘one song’ every time we put out a new record. We felt ‘A CALL BEYOND‘ was a good introduction to this era of TAS.”
“We all have about 1,000 ideas for music videos we want to use, and we basically picked this one out of a hat! Devin came up with the idea of a game show, and Mike titled it. We all had a hand in coming up with the different ‘misfortunes,’ and Matt and Eric took the reins on the rest. We are really happy to make a video featuring a bunch of our friends, and realize Matt and Devin‘s artistic vision.”
