The Acacia Strain Descend Into the Swamp With Crushing New Single

“We made a record that made us feel uncomfortable. We hope it makes you feel the same way.” — The Acacia Strain

The Acacia Strain Dive Deep Into Decay With Swamp Mentality

With their upcoming album You Are Safe From God Here set for release on 24th October 2025 via Rise Records, The Acacia Strain have unveiled a brand new single, Swamp Mentality, alongside a foreboding new video. The track is a harrowing glimpse into the crushing sonic world of the forthcoming record.

THE ACACIA STRAIN

The video for Swamp Mentality—now available to watch—plunges the viewer into a suffocating atmosphere of death, rot, and spiritual exile. In true Acacia fashion, the sound is brutally heavy, steeped in sludge and doom influences, but sharpened by the band’s trademark hardcore edge.

“The swamp is a place of rot, death, and decay; but it is also ripe with life and regeneration,” the band explains. “You are safe from God in the points of darkness and decomposition. Seek your sanctuary. No one leaves the swamp.”

This track offers a raw preview of an album that promises to push The Acacia Strain further into unrelenting darkness. According to the band, You Are Safe From God Here is “unapologetically The Acacia Strain,” a record built from discomfort and meant to provoke the same reaction in its listeners.

The album will mark a continued evolution in the band’s already expansive legacy, building on the duality of 2023’s Step Into The Light and Failure Will Follow, and further exploring themes of misanthropy, spiritual decay, and existential futility—all delivered with Vincent Bennett’s signature venom.

Expect twelve devastating tracks, including collaborations with Brody King, Colin Young, and Sunny Faris, promising an intense listening experience from start to finish.
