We&#8217;ve done our time on earth, broken through the boundaries of what reality actually is, and we&#8217;re now witnessing our collective descent into madness. Lyrically and sonically, everything reflects that.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re getting the vision piece by piece. The whole theme is a slow dive. By the same token, it organically becomes one record instead of just one big push out of the gate. As soon as you think you&#8217;re getting the hang of it, we throw out a wrench with the full-length.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no evidence to suggest we&#8217;re aren\u2019t actually in a living hell. The things happening around us could be out of a comic book or a movie. The idea is, &#8216;This can&#8217;t be real.&#8217;&nbsp;&nbsp;Maybe something happened. Maybe we&#8217;re all dead and we don&#8217;t even know it. Maybe we&#8217;re just living in some augmented reality hellscape of actual planet earth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>SO, the full artwork for &#8216;Slow Decay&#8217; looks like this:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt src=\"https:\/\/www.rocksound.tv\/assets\/uploads\/acaciastrain_artwork.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>And the full tracklisting looks like this.
