THE ACACIA STRAIN's 'The Most Known Unknown' DVD Lands On BILLBOARD Chart

February 24, 2010

"The Most Known Unknown", the debut DVD from Massachusetts-based metallic juggernauts THE ACACIA STRAIN, has entered Billboard's Top Music Videos chart at position No. 10. Frontman Vincent Benett commented; "This is awesome news.

"Thank you to everyone who went out and bought the DVD last week. We are really proud of it, and hope you enjoy it.

"We look forward to seeing you out on tour once we are done writing and recording our new record."

Disc one of the "The Most Known Unknown" DVD documents a sold-out show at the Worcester Palladium shot in December 2008, while disc two contains footage of a show at the much smaller and more intimate Waterfront on the band's home turf of Holyoke, Massachusetts, as well as three music videos, a documentary covering the formative years of the band and a "10 Seconds of Fame" bonus segment, in which select fans were given 10 seconds on camera to do whatever they wanted.

"The Most Known Unknown" features cover art by Paul Romano, who was also responsible for the cover of THE ACACIA STRAIN's latest album, "Continent", as well as covers for MASTODON, TRIVIUM and many more.

THE ACACIA STRAIN sold almost 5,600 copies of its new album, "Continent", in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 107 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD debuted at No. 2 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
