During the band's first trip to Montréal, QC during their four day tour of Eastern Canada, THE ACACIA STRAIN frontman Vincent Bennett was interviewed by metal website HardTimes.ca. Video footage is available online below and features Bennett covering the band's most recent release, The Dead Walk, the band's heavy touring regiment, and the concept and growth of the band on their upcoming release, Continent.

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 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.

The Acacia Strain will also be embarking on headlining run of dates in the United States, dubbed the Sun Your Bunz Tour with support from ALL SHALL PERISH, THE WARRIORS, ETERNAL LORD, and SINCE THE FLOOD through May and June before departing for Europe, where the band will headlining the mainland with support from ANNOTATIONS OF AN AUTOPSY and KNIGHTS OF THE ABYSS. "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!"
