Heading across the pond in July and August, this marks the band's first return after offering direct support to Hatebreed in April of 2007 and first set of tour dates after THE ACACIA STRAIN's plans to headlining shows throughout the US on the Sun Your Bunz Summer Tour with support from All Shall Perish, The Warriors, Eternal Lord and Since The Flood.

"I can't even express in words how excited I am for this tour," frontman Vincent Bennett says. "This is our first time in mainland Europe, so expect some culture shock on both ends. Annotations and Knights of The Abyss both bring devious amounts of heavy, so this should be a tour to contend with. See you in July!"

Meanwhile, THE ACACIA STRAIN will enter the studio April 13 with Zeuss (Hatebreed, Shadows Fall, Municipal Waste) at Planet Z Studio to record 'Continent,' the follow-up to 2006's 'The Dead Walk.' Again handling artwork will be Paul Romano (Mastodon, The Red Chord, Trivium), and one of the pre-production tracks from 'Continent,' entitled "Dr. Doom," is available on the band's MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/theacaciastrain).
