The Acacia Strain Van Crash

2012-11-28 by ihavehadaguystalkingmerecently | 61 Comments
American deathcore band The Acacia Strain's members have, heavy heartedly, had to announce the
cancellation of their remaining co-headlining tour dates with Veil of Maya due to an unexpected van accident.
No explanation is given as to how they crashed, but some worried fans have made statements that it could be
due to the malicious intent of rival deathcore band Emmure. People have also speculated with a "don't mosh
and drive" attitude.
No members of the band or crew were seriously injured, but some sustained a few minor injuries and are
currently being treated. Vocalist, Vincent Bennet, commented, "Canceling tour dates is something we hate
doing but we will make it up to all of you. We are all very grateful to be alive and will see you in the New Year."

Full statements and photography of the crash can be seen on the band's Facebook page, here:

CONSPIRACY

Just kidding, but yeah, that van was fucked up.

Scary stuff seeing as most fans in that genre are just recovering from Lucker's death.

It seems like every couple of weeks a band's van gets wrecked. Also, didn't the feud with Emmure end after Frankie got owned by Vincent on stage?

"some worried fans have made statements that it could be due to the malicious intent of rival deathcore band Emmure"
Seriously? Wow, that sounds like the least credible piece of information ever. Randomly throwing around ridiculous accusations like this is messed up to say the very least. Damn.

I've seen both Acacia Strain and Suicide Silence a few times. Interestingly enough, I saw both of them in 2003 when they were small and both of them in 2009 when they were getting big.

Regardless, it's pretty shitty to say that.

Not really a fan of the band, but I'm glad no one was hurt. They'll always be better than Emmure.

Wouldn't it be funny if they're so glad to be alive that they stop making brutal chugcore about hating everything and start writing acoustic music about how much they love life?

That Emmure joke was in poor taste.

Many metal road accidents lately. Thankfully this one turned out better than the last.

"...doesn't even make sense

How does it not? No members or crew were seriously injured, but have received treatment for the minor injuries they did get. Don't see how it doesn't make sense. "

he's right dude. grammatically that is incorrect.

you have to say like "No members or crew were seriously injured, but some/they have received treatment for minor injuries" (pick some or they)

It was, that's why I included it to show the childishness of their fans.

It seems out of place in an article like this. We should be focusing on the crash.

Shit, I thought for a second they were going to say some of the members died. Glad to see no one got seriously hurt.

And silentpotata, fuck you. I agree both bands suck massively, but to wish any of them dead? That's just not cool dude.

And you owe me your life.
Vanflip times a thousand.
Don't believe the hype.
