Malden-based post-metal/prog four piece, Vacuist create an expansive, heavy-hitting sound focused foremost on songcraft and emotional resonance through abstract guitars, Escherian drums, and arty lyrics.

»Lacerations // Strains« is Vacuist’s debut album, set to release on all major streaming platforms and physical formats in Spring of 2024. This album is about descents, despair, and everything getting worse, set to the soundtrack of immolation, shrapnel, and drowning. The nine songs on this album tell stories of deranged cowboys doomed to death, an airplane exploding mid-flight, a man becoming coral, and the cult of destruction that surrounds the oil industry.

Engineered/mixed/produced by Benny Grotto at Mad Oak Studios.
Mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege.
