The Acacia Strain - Cold Gloom

Purchase the album: RiseRecords.lnk.to/Gravebloom
We have no use for your carcass
Overwhelming darkness
I can feel the earth turn
I close my eyes and everything burns
We get sick but we never die
Time flies
I am spiraling out of control
Allow the darkness to swallow you whole
As the sun beats down on my broken form
Wishing I was never born
Poison courses through my veins
I am so afraid
Blue clouds are black turning red
I like to dream I'm already dead
Your world will freeze and refuse to spin
Ice floes in the funeral hymn
Frigid air. We weren't prepared
The has all come too soon
Cold gloom
Now you know I will never rest
You were the one who knew me best
Life is sinking into hospice
Disconnect from reality. Welcome to the abyss
Keep digging deeper as I punish myself
There's nobody out there and no one can help
I am blistered from the frozen sun
Find your own way home

"Cold Gloom" is like a child of "Observer". THANK YOU TAS!

[@Impuritan1]

Goddamn Observer was fucking epic.

[@XXzombieslayer666]

With Different Eyes exactly what I felt when I first heard it. I've literally listened to this album at least 7 times since I got it yesterday and now again on here.

[@Light-bearer]

FUCK YEAH!!! READ MY MIND DUDE.

[@samuelvalakian]

I am very proud of them. They deserve it all with this recent release. Well done The Acacia Strain

[@thiagorodrigues5211]

This song carries so much anger, despise and suffering that you would imagine Vincent was the most depressive man in the world when he is not even close to that.

[@troyanz191]

this is too damn good, this song and this album comes to my life in a hard time, it helps me to channel my pain

[@insomnimatics]

The ambient dual-tone lead that starts fading in around 3:25 is spicier than mama's a' meatball. First time I heard that come in with the chord progression I got those chills that only certain music can make happen. This, by far, is my favorite song on this album. Runner up would be Model Citizen but damn, this is worth it's slams in gold.

[@roadkillanonymous4807]

Insomnimatic, I feel it too. I’m not a musician and don’t know musical terms, but in listening to that portion of the song I agree. It’s when I have to stop whatever else I might be doing or thinking about and just feel so intensely and feel my hands shake a bit and my throat gets a bit of lump in it. This and observer just compliment TASs other work so beautifully. While not as aggressive, they’re far angrier and deeper reaching. This whole album is just amazing, much better than coma witch (though observer just might be my absolute favourite song of theirs)

[@alexmacdonald921]

Goosebump tone for sure. Definitely hits different. Eerie

[@DeicideLOL]

ohmygod the drone doom style on this like observer is so good

[@FRIGIDBASTARDS]

we are witnessing the evolution of acacia

“There’s nobody out there, and no one can help. I am blistered from the frozen sun, find your own way home.” Dude.

[@mason172]

this sends me to a very dark place within myself.. and i love it.

[@timbobimbo22]

I get chills with this chord progression... ahh so fucking good

[@fct4life]

Masterpiece

[@Buckethead523]

This song is what I need to hear right now

[@marcusgiuliano4088]

As simplistic as these lyrics are...damn do they hit all the right feelings straight home.

Thank you so much for giving us the bastard child of Observer!! Was hoping for a track like this!!

[@charlesboyle4115]

Just noticed the Kick Drum is in sync with every syllable.

[@TommyMartinezTube]

Charles Boyle that's what she said.

[@charlesboyle4115]

???

[@XXzombieslayer666]

It's like Observer pt.2 and I fucking love it. they knocked this album out of the fucking bombed out park with this album for sure. such doom.

[@DominicMillerihp]

intensity to the core, and then, all the way through.

[@roadkillanonymous4807]

Absolutely perfect, wouldn’t change a thing. Resonates with me in a way most metal attempting this sound and emotion fails to. Goosebumps and a tingly spine. Lyrics and delivery fit with the atmosphere perfectly, it’s all come together. I love this band, and cannot understand how some people are saying all their music sounds the same (while others complain that its changed). They’ve succeeded in what all artists and communicators seek to do, and that is to illicit a response, a reaction, from their audience. Can’t help but want to scream with Vincent.

[@BatGear.]

Well fucking said. Still holds today, and will hold til the fucking sun explodes.

[@roadkillanonymous4807]

@@tfwnoyandere haha thanks

[@roadkillanonymous4807]

I appreciate that the acacia strains music is for the most part not needlessly busy. The drumming especially is forceful on this track, not distracting like a lot of metal drumming

[@Take12music]

Yeah. He's dope 👍

[@oechikr]

it keeps getting better why tf don't enough people know 🤟

[@Light-bearer]

The Acacia Strain is FUCKING LEGENDARY!!!!!!!!!! Wow. Just wow!

Heatin up the summer. Cannot wait for warped and headliners

[@carmengalvan1830]

RIP warped : (

[@schmedatony]

definitely a favorite \m/

[@johnkantor8704]

If I was going to end my fucking life, it would be to this song. Sounds truly miserable and I love it.

[@BatGear.]

Same, dude. Same.

[@pkwiva]

Brutally relaxing.

[@jbasti227]

This is a straight up doom metal track and it’s beautiful

[@itsB0yOkay]

I'm going to fashion a blessing inspired by this album. Yo this is getting goooood.

[@itsB0yOkay]

Finished.

[@thiagorodrigues5211]

Still here listening to this masterpiece. And now we get Failure Will Follow which is basically a side project of TAS now. I guess they started since Coma Witch.

[@ChoongieStudioONE]

a defining long song!

[@alexmacdonald921]

Anybody else feel like this song almost sounds like it has 3 parts? Similar to a 3 movement classical piece?

[@sc-ek6qz]

Wtf ??? Why does this not have covers , lyrics video , live performance, wtf ????????

[@ryantaylor629]

FUCK YEAH!!! I FUCKING LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

[@johnandrews2113]

In my opinion the dead walk was my favorite album ever made. Then they kept it going good with continent, then they kept it going good with wormwood. Then death is the only mortal was ok but not as good. Then with coma witch that was good but still not as good as their older shit. Now with this new album gravebloom I feel that they've found themselves again and gotten back on track

[@Light-bearer]

Fucking love TAC infinitely.

[@f1123581321345589144]

listened to this on repeat when i found out that my partner of 11 years and mother of my 2 daughters had been sexting her tattooist behind my back. i still remember watching the messages rolling in, wondering if it was a dream. it was not, and this is the perfect soundtrack for that kind of misery.

[@kylelawrence9651]

Damn.

[@johnballsley9565]

Hang in there brev

[@johnkantor8704]

Rooster Cogburns Eyepatch that is the best part... it’s just unfortunate the way some of us have to encounter this state of mind.

[@tfwnoyandere]

what did you do to push her to that?

[@f1123581321345589144]

@@tfwnoyandere our relationship hadn't been great, and we were lapsing into friendship, so credit where credit's due for pulling the pin on a failing relationship, but it was not the way to go about it. we were on a family holiday overseas and they met at the studio in Berlin and it went from there on like 2 weeks

[@zM00Nx]

[@zM00Nx]

I'd like to thank The Acacia Strain for giving us this masterpiece and riserecords for giving it to us a little early last night. I got to enjoy the album in it's entirety before back, to back, to back 12 hour shifts this weekend and for that I am grateful.

[@CableReadyTechnoSIut]

Remember when The Acacia Strain was good? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Hey you Masons, should get more symbols, it is boring to always see triangles, eagles, squares and compasses as signs of your distinction, no doubt you live to surrender your will...
