UK metal act Acres have delivered the latest cut from their upcoming new album ‘The Host’.
Describing new single ‘Built To Bleed’, bassist Jack Rogers says “I wrote ‘Built to Bleed’ lyrically about how I realised I have been valuing myself for pretty much my entire life. I’ve never been one to feel positive about myself or celebrate ‘achievements’ or be happy with the way I look, etc. Starting therapy made me realize how I’d manage to normalize those feelings and believe them whole heartedly. It’s a song where I’m at my absolute lowest mentally, laced with guilt for feeling the way I feel and being so good at hiding it and masking it. It’s definitely the most lyrically open I’ve ever been about my inner thoughts of myself.”

‘The Host’ is set for release on May 02 via Solid State / Tooth and Nail Records and was produced by The Plot In You frontman Landon Tewers.
Singer Ben Lumber says “The Host represents a bold step in a new direction for us as a band, we’ve always pushed ourselves to evolve with every album and never write the same record twice.This time the process was unlike anything we’ve done before, working with Landon Tewers brought a fresh perspective and added a new flair to our sound that we’re really excited about!”
