DR. ACULA premieres new single "Welcome to Dead House" via Revolver Magazine: "a genuinely ripping metalcore banger in the vein of early Every Time I Die"
Dr. Acula has revealed "Welcome to Dead House," the new single from its first new album in ten years. The upcoming, self-titled album was mixed and mastered by Moon Tooth drummer Ray Marte and will be released October 28th on Silent Pendulum Records (The Number Twelve Looks Like You, Heavy Heavy Low Low).
Revolver Magazine states: "Instead of rehashing the silliness of their early years, the band are now treating Dr. Acula like a serious project, and 'Welcome to the Dead House' is perfect for initiating any fan, old or new, into their refreshed approach... A genuinely ripping metalcore banger in the vein of early Every Time I Die, but with deathcore breakdowns that call back to the Dr. Acula sound that longtime fans will remember."
"The song's about watching someone who is your entire world, be ripped from existence," says Dr. Acula bassist Rob Guarino.

Dr. Acula's first new album in ten years is a radical reboot that sees this comedic outfit reborn as a dark, focused, beast of a modern metal band. Once a messy, polarizing band, making noise for the fun of it, Dr. Acula has evolved into its next form. Guarino states: "This chapter of Dr. Acula is a 'party's over' vibe. When we started over 15 years ago, it was all fun and games. We weren’t really paying attention. Now we've grown, our fans have grown, and there’s a conversation to be had."
A recent article on BrooklynVegan concurs: "Their wiser, more mature approach is matched by music that's just as batshit as their early material but more focused and refined. I don't know if bands like this in the 2000s ever even thought or cared about aging gracefully, but Dr. Acula are proving that it's possible."
Upcoming shows include three Midwest dates with Varials (Fearless Records).
