THE ACACIA STRAIN - Drop "One Thousand Painful Stings", Announce EU Tour For 2021

Vincent Bennett [vocals], Kevin Boutot [drums], Devin Shidaker [guitar], Griffin Landa [bass], and Tom "The Hammer" Smith, Jr. [guitar] — have shared the video for "One Thousand Painful Stings". The song, which features Spiritbox singer Courtney LaPlante, appears on the band's eighth full-length album "Slow Decay", out now through Rise Records. The Acacia Strain has also announced a European Tour supporting Aborted in 2021. Check out the dates at the bottom of the press release.

In lieu of an actual live show, the clip is a socially distanced sign of the times — featuring the band members performing in fuzzy onesies, substituting pet cats for instruments and Swiffers for mic stands, LaPlante's living room mosh, and much more. It's truly a hilarious (and thoroughly metal) way to cap off what has been quite a tumultuous year.
