Before opening for The Acacia Strain’s album release shows in New England come May, Escuela Grind—a metalcore quartet from the same area—is out promoting new material of its own. Memory Theater.
The fall release was given a number of vinyl release variants, one of which was literally made from reused Coke bottles. You won’t be able to buy one at Orpheum this weekend (they sold-out), but there might still be some orange pressings left.
And if you're worried about the consequences of going to see heavy metal on Easter Sunday, just listen to the band and know that all is forgiven.
