The Acacia Strain’s Vincent Bennett and Emmure’s Frankie Palmeri have now crossed the line of running their mouths. Apparently beating the crap out of one another at last night’s Emmure gig in Clifton Park changed things. To give you some background on each band well here it is.

The Acacia Strain is an American band from Springfield, Massachusetts. Even though the band is commonly classified as deathcore, the members of the band deny the label, and feel they are just "heavy". Originally founded in 2001, the band itself has undergone numerous changes in the member line-up. To date they have released five studio albums, as well as two split albums.

Emmure is an American deathcore band. They have had seven releases: two demos (Nine Eleven Zero Four, My Favorite Cat), one EP (The Complete Guide to Needlework), and four studio albums (Goodbye to the Gallows, The Respect Issue, Felony and Speaker of the Dead).Emmure released their latest album, Speaker of the Dead on February 15, 2011. On January 18, 2011, Emmure released a single from the album Demons with Ryu onto iTunes^. On February 9, 2011, the music video for "Solar Flare Homicide" premiered. Speaker of the Dead debuted at #68 on the Billboard 200 and #11 on the top Independent Albums.

Emmure is truly a hardcore band, but TAS started this war saying "Emuure is trying to be us and they can’t, and Frankie has no skill" Vincent Bennett – lead vocals

Emmure then followed up by releasing a song entitled "R2 D**pthroat" The lyrics are straight out calling out TAS.

"So much for plagiarism
So much for you to waste your breath running your mouth
A rat race to the top
Sore losers never satisfied with what they've got"

I believe Emmure is way better but that is just my opinion. What do you think?

Matt G. tracking Drums for Messengers

Matthew Greiner was ten years old when he started his passion for drums. He grew up in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. His mom bought him a Ludwig snare when he was 12. He practiced everyday for two years. He practiced a lot of jazz style drumming on his pearl export kit. He started drumming for his church group for a few years. Then he grew fond of metal. He joined a punk band practiced a ton of times but they never played any shows. So matt quit and continued his search for the right band. When Matt was 16, he met up with two teens who shared a love for metal like he did. The kids were JB Brubaker and Brent Rambler, August Burns Red was formed two weeks later. They started writing their own music, playing shows, and recording CDs. After recording and releasing a self-titled five-song demo, they decided it was time to step up. They spent $720 on the next EP, Looks Fragile After All, and they signed to a local record label, CI Records, Soon after they started writing for their next full-length, Thrill Seeker. They then became signed to Solid State Records. Since Thrill Seeker’s release in 2005 they have been on tour non-stop. They released a second full-length record, Messengers, in 2007 and released a third full-length, Constellations in 2009. The band is currently tracking a fourth full-length record…not yet titled but personally I’m stoked for it.  Matt continues to practice daily and is truly an inspiration to me. I drum to become more like him because I know its possible to reach his level of skill and professionalism. “I’ve learned countless things about drumming in the past several years, including showmanship, technique, tuning, recording, and writing. But I’ve also learned crucial life lessons in touring full-time and living with four other dudes 24/7!” (Matt Greiner, Modern Drummer Magazine)
