Altar Of Acacia

About

Steve Hearn and Ryan Fras formally of the Grand Rapids Rock/Metal band Unaltered who opened for National bands such as Powerman 5000, All That Remains, The Human Abstract, The Confession, and Bobaflex and Spike Dies formally of Grand Rapids based Metal band Eternal Covenant got together and formed Altar Of Acacia in June 2008. After many months of searching the guys fell across Ryan Ykimoff who was just what the three were looking for to step in and take over the bass playing duties! Since then the guys have written heavy melodic songs with serious lyrical content that have already started to gain attention of many rock and metal fans around the Grand Rapids area. The guys are committed above all to having a hell of a lot of fun playing their music and making it in the music business! They would like to express how excited they are to get out and share their music with everyone who will listen...and some who wont! For Booking Contact: send emails to altarofacacia@
