UK band ACRES will release the continuation of The Host on September 26 via Solid State Records.
What, exactly, is the continuation of the band's critically acclaimed album, which arrived earlier this year? We're glad you asked.
It's even more Acres music, which is always a good thing.
The expanded edition is a continuation and completion of the original, adding three new tracks.
"'Push Me Away' is almost like a confession of self-doubt, a reflection on feeling like you're the weight holding someone back, and believing they'd be better off without you," the band says. "When we wrote this in the studio, we instantly knew this was the song we wanted to have a feature on and we honestly couldn't think of anyone better than Landon. We're so grateful he wanted to be part of this!"
Acres are touring with Like Moths to Flames this fall. All dates are below.
Audiences initially fell under Acres' spell in 2019 when they unveiled the fan favorite Lonely World. After grinding on the road, they made significant strides with 2023's Burning Throne. "My Everything" reeled in 2.6 million Spotify streams followed by "Hold On" with another 2 million Spotify streams. Kerrang! applauded how, "Acres display their potential with some big choruses to match," and When The Horn Blows hailed Burning Throne as "a classic metalcore album filled with swinging hooks, rough riffs, popping electronic elements and lovely vocals that turn into monster screams."
During October 2024, the band hopped the pond to record what would become The Host with none other than The Plot In You frontman Landon Tewers behind the board as producer. The musicians stayed at his Michigan studio. Beyond enjoying the onset of Halloween in America, they expanded their sonic palette by incorporating elements such as drop-tunings and leaning on the producer's perspective, acumen, and wisdom. The album was lauded by Kerrang! Rock Sound, HM, Idobi, New Noise, and more.
