THE ACACIA STRAIN haben mit "A" eine weitere 7" EP via Rise Records veröffentlicht. Die Platte enthält die Songs "Chhinnamasta" und "Inverted Person". Sänger Vincent Bennett kommentiert:
"'Chhinnamasta,' goddess of contradictions. See us through this wave of uncertainly. Guide us into the future. Grant us the strength and knowledge we seek to grow, to change for the better; or allow us to proceed into the void. No guest vocals? No problem! Most of you have already figured out what we are spelling, no reason to ruin it for everyone else. Enjoy two more songs as we continue to stay apart while also trying to stay together. Some of these lyrics came to me in the studio, while some were sitting with me for a long time. I hope you enjoy what we have been doing — it's not over yet!"
Drei weitere 7" wurden von der Metalcoreband im Vorfeld bereits veröffentlicht: "D", "E" und "C".
