The Acacia Strain

the concert was awesome, but i was a little bummed the openers only got 20 minute sets. For some of the bands that were there, this meant each band got like 4-5 songs each, sometimes even less because of setup times. If the bands could get more than the minuscule 20 minutes, i would give it a full 5 stars

Fit For an Autopsy, Counterparts and Acacia were incredible. The crowd was destroying the pit! just wish Acacia would have played longer.

This is not my genre, but these guys rocked the Upstate Concert Hall. Everyone in the place was jamming to the music. The drummer, Kevin Butrot, was awesome! Thanks for hosting these guys at the Upstate Concert Hall, breathing life into the Capital District in NEW YORK STATE!!

Cool venue, great show. another brutal event for acacia strain. There will be a lot of ache and pains after this show. Metal!

So, I've been obsessed with this band for quite some time, and they put on a great show. I love Vincent's evil mind, and the crowd was really into the music. I love moshing and headbanging, so I of course had a blast.

I only went to this show because Terror was playing. I really wish that they would just stick to touring with other hardcore bands instead of the garbage metal bands that they have been playing with. To sum it up, Terror's set was full of plenty of mosh, sing-a-longs and stage dives. This band never disappoints me with a live show! Scott is a great frontman and can really get the crowd going!

We were late coming to the show because parking down in the Strip District was slightly difficult, but we were able to see Gaza, the Red Chord, The Terror and the Acacia Strain. Whoever was in charge of the sound system was right one, nothing over powered anything. Each band had a ton of energy up on the stage, played to the crowd and incorporated the crowd (and sometimes the city and sports teams) into the songs and conversations. The energy kept building all the way up to the Terror when the crowd went crazy with stage divers, circle pits and random mosh pits. By the time the Acacia Strain came on, people were continuously launching themselves from the stage, diving onto people and covering the entire 1st floor with a massive circle pit. I left with a few bruises and my ears ringing, but it was totally worth it.

amazing line up! great night. not a lot of down time in between set
