LYRICS:
I wish a heaven on earth for my enemies so that hell will hurt so much more.
I never dream because I’m never asleep. I dove headfirst in the water and I swam too fucking deep.
The fire ignites the sky. I never got the chance to say goodbye.
This has to be a terrible dream. This is a defense mechanism. Our minds are playing tricks on us.
We have left the boundaries of the observable universe.
I can’t think, I can’t cry. My mind would implode. I want to disappear.
Debilitated. I’m sorry I wish I waited. It ended alone. Not knowing why you weren’t at home.
Apologies unheard; I live, I die by your word.
I walk this path alone. Push further away.
I breathed in the smoke deeply it tasted like death and I smiled.

[@RemmyRiffs]

I actually love the concept they are experimenting with. Instead of just dropping 3 or so single's leading up to an album they are instead going to give us the entire album within the same amount of time other band's would have only droppped all of their lead up single's. If it was what they usually do we would have only gotten 3 song's within the same time frame...instead we now have 6. I assume they are spelling out DECAY so we should be getting 4 more, so by the time it is finished we will have had a 10 song journey that kept us engaged the entire time while waiting on the next singles (and album art) to contine the story. It's actually a pretty sick concept with the album art slowly decaying over time and everything. This is a pretty damn creative way to keep their listeners on the edge of their seat waiting for the next "letter" to drop.

[@joeyfrost7184]

Oh shit! Look at the big brain on Remmy 😁 I hadn't figured this out yet, and probably wouldn't have LMAO! Can't wait to see if you're theory is correct, although I suspect that it is. Thanks for opening my eyes!!

It does sound a bit like "Hard Lines and Sunken Cheeks" now that you mention it

[@pantokage]

The Latter It really does, that must’ve been the song it reminded me of bc I immediately thought of that album when I heard it.

[@aggressionsessions7839]

The Acacia Strain are one of the very few bands who don't cater to the masses by writing boring uninspired shit, the last concept album It comes in waves went down the Blackened Death route and it was amazing, I hope they continue with that ambient and atmospheric sound.

[@dunno5424]

Sorry but I’ve never heard any blackened death in any tas songs

[@aggressionsessions7839]

Then you havent listened to it comes in waves and doom metal is more or less Black sabbath.

[@aggressionsessions7839]

Listen to Winterfylleth which is a Black metal from Leeds in the UK then listen to Our from It comes in waves album from The Acacia Strain there alot of elements of Black metal in that album which they have incorporated death metal hence its Blackened Death

[@lakkuh]

It's just TAS. No need to put them in any genre. All of their albums have totally different sounds and they are imo one of the best bands in the world.

[@aggressionsessions7839]

The only two albums that sound similar are gravebloom and coma witch, the rest are completely individual, Death is the only mortal is one of my favourite albums of all time.

[@Danfromoverthere]

The Acacia Strain is one of the most underrated bands out there right now. Every EP, LP are awesome man.

Apologies for being out of the scene for so long, but quite unavoidable wich im sure will come as no suprise lo!!l! But since you released "Wormwood" at such a specific important time period ontop of being a fan in all the usuall ways you will always be on my list of favorites!!!
