Step into the Light and Failure Will Follow are the eleventh and twelfth studio albums by American extreme metal band the Acacia Strain. They were released on May 12, 2023, through Rise Records. They are the band's first albums to feature rhythm guitarist Mike Mulholland, replacing Tom Smith who left the band in 2022,[7] and the last to feature longtime drummer Kevin Boutot.
Step into the Light features 10 tracks of the band's usual deathcore/metalcore style that are mostly each under three minutes long, and it features guest vocals from Jacob Lilly (Chamber) and Josef Alfonso (Sunami).[8] Failure Will Follow consists of three tracks that are each over 10 minutes long that show "the sludgier side of the band".[9]
