Nuclear Blast is to release a three way split between The Acacia Strain, Thy Art Is Murder & Fit For An Autopsy on August 12th. The EP features a song from each band, plus a cover from each. The bands released a collective statement on the release:
“After months of heavy touring, a cold NJ background set the tone for a dark, honest, and moody record. We gave some nods to the bands we grew up listening to and took some new risks in our own songs.More importantly, this record is a statement of community. We live in a very competitive and selfish world, and this is proof it doesn’t have to be like that. It’s the friendships you make along the way, between the artists you share the stage with, that you’ll take away with you long after the shows are over. Support your peers; the whole music scene will be better for it. Thank you for listening.”
