The Acacia Strain - basin of vows (feat. ethan mccarthy) (Visualizer)

[@tylerc2857]

Every time the tempo picks up and ends on the line "to everyone I've ever hurt, I'm fucking sorry", that entire section- and especially that last line, they absolutely crush me. I adore this album a year later and will for many years.

[@quincyjackson7855]

Ever since 'Death is the Only Mortal' I find myself looking forward to these long tracks that are like a journey of the mind.

[@JasonRipperSkery]

Same here 🤘🏿

[@kyojin551]

This album is such a delight. Already in my top 10 favorites of all time, I love this band.

[@Kin_Ton_Ti]

Love the observer sound here, and the haunting spoken words lady

[@drewftw2457]

I agree

[@SomeKindOfScum]

I'm fairly certain it's the same woman who did the voice work for Observer as well, which would be really rad because then you could read Basin of Vows as a kind of spiritual sequel to Observer

[@steelo_g]

​@Arbitr0n It is the same person! As for the Observer connection, I made the connection of the two mainly with the quote "You're waking up now. You'll forget everything. I don't wish you the worst, because the worst is inside you." Idk how, but I know it could be connected 😂

[@taticuskillgore5543]

It's definitely the same woman I almost thought they had reused the audio but the words were different but yea I'm pretty sure it's the same lady speaking. I want to know her name

[@specialops728]

@@taticuskillgore5543 I forget her name but she's a proffesional voice actress. She's done work in commercials all the way back in the 80s and 90s.

SIX FEET WASN'T DEEP ENOUGH

[@txjrski85]

Don’t understand leaving the spoken lyrics out, that last line “I don’t wish you the worst because the worst is inside you, always” leading into the breakdown hits sooo fucking good

[@XXzombieslayer666]

This is one of the heaviest songs I've ever heard. I know thats subjective but to me Holy fuck

[@WHOREHAMMER_OFFICIAL]

It isnt subjective. Its fact lol. I listen to all kinds of metal (slam, brutal death, black, deathcore) and acacia strain have put out some of the heaviest and most evil shit i have EVER heard

[@XXzombieslayer666]

@Patrick Bateman my man you said it. This song is heavier than a fucking tank

[@pecanpie45]

Agreed. I'm So Tired Of Sighing: Please Lord, Let It Be Night -black tongue is up there

[@WHOREHAMMER_OFFICIAL]

@@pecanpie45 youre goddamn right

[@meowmymix3957]

Go listen to Ethan’s band Primitive Man and you will find nothing but heavy like this.

[@oliverorchard2296]

The evolution of tas has been amazing, when I was a teen 4x4 was perfect now in my 30's and after life's hits this is what's needed

[@TheMightyBurrito]

The back half of this song is just monstrous. Bring me the doomgaze.

[@burnittotheground108]

This is amazing, and a nod of respect & appreciation to TAS. They figured out earlier than most that people love simple, and atrociously “you have 15 seconds….” heavy. Years passed, they got simpler….and heavier. This is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard, period. One of the most emotive too. And then Vincent, damn. A long time ago i was not a fan. So impressive what you’ve done overall, but you created something really special here. My soulmate & best friend of over 20 years suddenly passed earlier this year. I’m not handling it well, but who does. Music has always been sacred to me. Once again, it’s serving as life support. Cold Gloom & this song are playing an important part in my remaining. THANK YOU. I’m a Meshuggah fanatic since 1995, listening to TAS since 2002ish, this song is amazing

It was just a matter of time before you were mislead...

TAS and Primitive Man on the same track? Holyfknshit! 😮🔥🔥🔥

[@roadkillanonymous4807]

@@IbanezPlayer124 I thought Iris was just on “pillar of salt” ? The lady speaking here sounds like whoever was speaking in “observer” back in 2014.

[@DevonTheFirewolf]

Those last few minutes starting around 6:30 are just purely epic!!

[@TyAndreww]

Dummy hard. Crazy I caught you guys touring with FOH and PM and you basically dropped a split a couple months later 🤩 love it !!

[@vipset87]

The beginning reminds me of brown noise

[@brendanknutson208]

I’m loving the doom metal drone feel to this entire EP… this song tho is especially wild the layers the lyrics everything is perfect.

[@PastorDr.MartinSsempa]

The beginning makes me imagine a massive army of orcs marching.

[@YippityDingleDoo]

I almost didn't get the bar up and set finished. Glad these songs flow together, some of the biggest sounds I have heard a guitar make.

[@XX-tn2fs]

The most emotionally taxing material TAS has ever released. Jesus fucking christ

[@mindofmatter071]

Well said!!!

Had it set at 1.5x speed-that was a bop

[@meshugeah]

Will dare to compare this to Catch 33

[@gimmedataids]

That ran through my mind as well. Especially the atmospheric parts on track 1 and some of the spoken word on 2

[@crifo6525]

too good wtf

[@nvksbk]

Doom core? 😂 but i really like this!!

[@coryzuhlsdorf3770]

YES DOOM CORE. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that!

What are the lyrics of the lady?

[@avlkush]

(We have you now)? It was just a matter of time before you were misled You weren’t just the (wound)? ??? the rats knawing ??? The worms feeding on a decomposing husk The vermin attracted to the rusty sent of blood You sensed the injury, you took advantage of the weakness And you forgot the wound was infected The blood was poison, and now you’re in agony You will feel it forever, contaminating everything you touch ??? (the dream)? (There are cracks in the well)? You will fester the rest of your existence Until you implode on the weight of your own (pustulant growths)? Abandon the dream You’re waking up now You’ll forget everything I don’t wish you the worst, because the worst is inside you ALWAYS So sick. Anyone catch anything I missed? TAS forever

Yeah let's get it all here Take a deep breath Hold it in Never let it out again Nothing to give No will to live Atone for your fucking sins Both feet are sinking into the grave Both feet are sinking into the grave Both feet are sinking into the grave Grip the grass and believe you are safe I can make the hurting stop I can make the hurting stop I can make the hurting stop I can make the hurting stop You are the curse that should not be I will decimate your elegy A mortal wound inflicts mortal form I'll make you wish you were never born A tooth buried in the dirt For everyone you've ever hurt Your breath left an awful taste in my mouth It's all been done, we said goodbye I promised that I wouldn't cry As I shed my final tear I hate to admit that I wish you were here I was never myself (I was never myself) Heart in my throat I can't cry for help I'll miss you all, you won't see tomorrow To everyone I've ever hurt, I'm fucking sorry We had to know It was just a matter of time Before you were misled You weren't just a wound You were the rats gnawing on it The worms feeding on a decomposing husk The vermin attracted to the rusty scent of blood You sensed the injury, you took advantage of the weakness But you forgot the wound was infected The blood was poison and now you're in agony You will feel it forever Contaminating everything you touch Ruining the dream There are cracks in the realm You will fester the rest of your existence Until you implode under the weight of your own pestilent growth Abandon the dream You're waking up now, you'll forget everything I don't wish you the worst Because the worst is inside of you, always A special place in hell You did this to yourself A special place in hell You did this to yourself Scratch the lines into my skin My first mistake was letting you in Infected like an open sore You cannot hurt me anymore The sadness will last forever Six feet wasn't deep enough The dirt can't cover my disgust Every part of you is dead to me I still struggle with your memory Like the blood drained from an artery Echoing through my mind This sadness will last forever This sadness will last forever This sadness will last forever
