Found the vinyl of this album in some random store in Milwaukee. Absolutely amazing. 15 bucks well spent.

i can't really explain why TAS are different, but they really do hit like a steam train. I feel shook up each time i listen, and I'm not really a 'death core' fan. Oh yeah, and the song titles - 'The Impaler', 'Doomblade', 'Nailgun' - just epic.

[@psymeariver]

a lot of Doom-y influences

[@Waves4now]

TAS is metalcore.

[@psymeariver]

Downtempo Deathcore

[@Waves4now]

@@psymeariver thats not what their official genre statement is. I still can agree with what you said however.

[@nothingisblessed4765]

@@Waves4now they're the pioneers of downtempo deathcore but for some reason they keep rejecting the tag..

[@rtremblay87]

To me personally, I think this is their best sounding material to date.

[@filvtbak]

Definitely my favorite album, style stands out and sounding is unique through whole experience, you can easily say it's Coma Witch listening to every single song.

[@JoeMChatt]

"The Acacia Strain’s “Nailgun” is essentially a larger than life boulder that simply cannot be moved-it’s that brutal. After one listen through, meeting frontman Vincent Bennett in a dark alley may just become No. 1 on your list of things not to do."

Devin Shidaker was the best thing that could have happened to this band. Can't fucking wait.

[@MrScrapple5000]

I thought the material was Downhill after wormwood but I think DL leaving was the best thing that happened to this band recently they needed a fresh of breath air.

[@hubertvedere4574]

It lacks that DL heavy tone, but overall, it's neat!

[@hxcreery]

Agreed, except on the single string riffs. Those have that tone still somewhat. Miss DL.

[@xjoemallardx]

Good thin DL is in Legend now!

[@TheMrJawdan]

looool yeah because he did such a great job producing the last album. This shit is a step up.

[@NIN9205]

I'm really diggin' this modern spin on "Old MacDonald Had a Farm". Could use some more EIEIO's tho....

Tempo changes get me every time

[@Alex-jb4zy]

Same here, chills everytime. The band Traitors does heavy ass tempo changes, you should check it out.

2 step!!

[@thesauce3127]

Still here in 2022 like this isn’t the heaviest shit I’ve ever heard. Forever a fan. Hope to see you guys again soon! Met Vincent at the chameleon club and again at the soundstage. Fucking amazing band and even more kickass dudes!

[@pawel_vachla]

The tempo changes/transitions are awesome! It might not be the most technical/complex track, but the rhythm, structure and overall mood and tone hook me right in.

[@Starost07]

The most beautiful love song I ever heard :)

[@bucko60]

An incredibly uplifting song with equally incredible lyrics to put one in a great, postive mood.

[@vellayah]

It's like any other TAS song, but sounds so refreshing and powerful. I like this one so much. Looking forward to Coma Witch.

[@BullshotDarts]

cauterizer took me a few listens to get into it, i have a feeling thats going to be the story of this album. def gonna have to listen to it at least 5 times through before making any judgements.

[@nickpacheco5997]

When this album came out, there was an article review and opinion I read once that definitely stated & warned anyone who was experiencing depression ,suicidal ,violent, harmful ideologies or thoughts , should NOT listen to this album. At 2:23 it’s true

Fuck yes!! Every Album gets better and better favorite band right now for sure need t-shirt to rep it up!!

[@sn0wboardfreak]

Fuck yes. Can't wait for this album.

[@darkstar0470]

A nice fresh take on their style this time around; Lots of good variation. They're still gonna play all that shit you saps long for live. (that is if you even leave the safety of your home computer to support) 'SLITHER IN YOUR SWILL SWALLLOOWWINNGGG SSSHHHHIIIITTT!' Good stuff.

[@JohnnyDsPizzaReviews]

Uh ohhhhh TAS is back with an actual good song. Looking forward to this album now. Above and below were bad.

[@brycelacy3471]

I like both The Acacia Strain and Emmure.

Holy shit Continent came out so long ago and people are still whining that they didn't put out the same record twice. Go listen to Continent and shut up if that's all you want to hear.

That riff at 2:34🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@IronAmaryllis]

Despite what most people think I like this song. Not the greatest of Coma Witch but still. The Acacia Strain is great.

[@Speedoman03]

Loving the new track

[@olanddevo]

Vincent is always trash talking/murdering/decapitating some female in their songs.

[@Marasma101]

Lol "The Demolishor' lyrics were fucking nuts in that regard. Straight up rape.

[@andrewramirez739]

But he's happily married and has been for a few years now? It made sense on old Acacia tracks but now it seems silly considering he's married... From the guy who said "she asked me to marry her, so I slit her fucking throat."

[@hourglassesandphatasses]

That's deathcore for ya... Remember deathcore? And its lyrical fixation on murdering sloots?

[@SaturnineXTS]

hourglass529m I don't think anyone's obligated to do a certain lyrical theme just because of a feeling of obligation to an arbitrary, supposed aspect of a genre :D Vincent just likes these lyrics

[@tonyorsini5255]

olanddevo Yeah, FINALLY someone does!

[@vehicledestroyer]

TAS will always be a good band because they always bring the heavy.

[@MikesLaffy]

I still have no idea why TAS is on Rise Records.. So much better and heavier than the rest of the bands signed to them. -_-

[@ELSpartans236]

Couldn't agree more

[@0Just0Josh0]

I feel its because theyve been busting their ass since 2001, and finally deserve a good label and as proving that not every band signed to RISE gets infected with Risecore, the day Vincent starts doing cleans then people can start bitching about them being on RISE.

[@peterparkes2302]

I thinks its really because they had more to offer than their previous lable possibly more benefits and touring package its tough for hardcore bands to tour with the lack of accepting venues or large enough representation in a community being on a lable like rise gives them that touring security.

[@xXfunkyfreshXx1]

As a down - tempo beatdown fan i like this. Never listened to them till now and its not bad. Dig it.

[@danzampino]

Death is the only mortal took me some time to appreciate, but its no doubt that Vince's lyrics are redundant and getting old. I still respect and follow them, and I can still get down to the new style. For any KIDS who are just finding out about acacia, listen to the old stuff and learn what good heavy metal used to be.

[@doingitsharp1568]

Ben a fan since '06 but holy FUCKING SHIT. Guess TAIM took my attention. But the FUCKING Acacia Strain has had the formula the whole time! Can't wait to see them saturday!

[@christianmeade1210]

Thank god, Rise Records finally signed some talent.

[@SuperBigsexy14]

I like this, its fun. You're taking it all too seriously, are you really such cool hard asses? I highly doubt Vincent would take anything serious lol. Just enjoy and support them.

[@l0xx79]

[@Stretchwreckedem469]

Voxel thanks! :D

[@JFordAnimation]

I feel like if I DIDN'T know the lyrics to this song Id enjoy it way more. I cant really be pumped when I read shit like "Sayonara, see you later" or "On the clearest of days" Then again I've re-listening to DITOM nonstop since they announced "Coma Witch" so of course I wasn't expecting this. That album is addicting.

[@MyWhiteAbode]

Death is the only Mortal is Wormwood b-sides. Get a valid opinion.

[@xForts]

Totally agree man these lyrics were wack I expected a lot better from them coming off DITOM, I just hope the rest of this album is better than this because Cauterizer sure is

[@TheOmegaPattern]

As much as I love TAS I agree Dead Walk, Wormwood, DITOM were awesome and Cauterizer is heavy as fuck but this song is iffy with me but hey every artist will make a song or two that's just kind of a miss. The music is still pretty good on this and it's nice to see more lows from Vincent.

[@JFordAnimation]

A common thing some bands do nowadays is to release a good song and a weak song before the album drops so that expectations are lowered and fan are happily surprised with the final product. I have no doubt that Coma Witch will be the best album so far. Im so hyped for "The Observer" (27.38 minute long song)

[@MyThelema]

Omnipresent .Perception "Release a good and a bad song" what the fuck man.. Why would you wanna release a bad song that could potentially lower your sales? Nobody intentionally does that

[@fulnelson12]

very dead walk-esque.

[@benjamin3290]

[@ISacredSniiperI]

Really like the song, I'm not sure I can connect with the lyrics as much as I usually can though.

[@Naproxxx]

Really wantin to check out the artist at the end of the video on the left side, but I couldn't find a clickable link to get to them ):

[@joshvarga3591]

Anyone bitching about TAS lyrics needs to try a little harder to use their brain. Google nihilism. Pretty sure Vincent always tries to write as if he's a serial killer, serial killers tend to have very negative but direct outlooks on the world around them. Thus, negative and direct lyrics. It's supposed to have an evil but to the point vibe. Seriously, I didn't think that was so hard to see. You people take music (and yourselves) way too seriously.

[@kennethgooday9969]

i don't think u understand nihilism in a philosophical sense. Ur just associating with negative music because he said he was a nihilist on the wormwood album. Nihilism isn't inherently negative. It's void of negativity and positivity. It is the complete numbness of feeling and rejection of objective meaning. It is in direct contradiction to cynicism and contentment. A nihilist wouldn't care if someone lived or died because life has no meaning. Apathy and love don't exist in their mind

[@Blast_HardCheese]

Kenneth Gooday I was ready to bitch because you used "Ur", but that's a fucking good, and well understood, way to put it.

[@Cristov123]

For those wondering why TAS fans love TAS and hate Emmure: TAS plays notes and their music is hate embodied in a sonic form. Emmure only uses binary and complains about going to the clinic. It's simple which is the superior brocore band here

[@bwestby1]

IMO this blows their last record out of the water. I know it may not seem as heavy because DL left but I think the songwriting is more interesting and creative.

[@LichWorks]

best cd by far they have put out is Wormwood

[@gavinfornelli6636]

Soo, everyone bitches when a band changes their sound, but also bitches when they never change their sound. Also, this is different than most of their songs, because of the variety of tempos compared to the usual straight through down-tempo.

[@CNCSBD]

It slams!!

[@Hellfollows666]

Hahahaha "sayonara see you later" too funny

[@eyebladestudios7032]

"Wormwood" was the last good effort. "DITOM" was just okay. "Continent" still fucking rules to this day; IMHO its their signature album.
