The Acacia Strain is a four-piece deathcore band based in Chicopee, Massachusetts, USA. The band is currently signed to Prosthetic Records. They have been together since 2001, but have undergone many member changes, and have four studio albums, as well as a split seven-inch record with Loyal to the Grave on which they cover "Seasons In The Abyss", originally recorded by Slayer. The band has worked with acclaimed producers Adam Dutkiewicz (Killswitch Engage) and Zeuss (Shadows Fall and Hatebreed).

The band used to employ three guitar players, but currently only has one.

Besides being band members, singer Vincent Bennett runs a clothing company called Diamond Cut and bassist Jack Strong runs a clothing company called Turn Nocturnal.
