The Acacia Strain - One Thousand Painful Stings (feat. Courtney LaPlante) (Official Music Video)

LYRICS
We set the world on fire with a touch. I never thought I could love too much.
The universe is teeming with life, but we have slipped free of its grip. There is nothing but us. We are alone. Struggling to survive when we are too far gone.
The future is useless. The past is a different existence.
We have given ourselves an eternity of nothing. Infinite stretching and arching to nowhere. We called, no one answered. Total fucking failures.
Obliterated; removed from existence.
Aggravated with the way that we’ve been living,
Concentrating on bringing about change.
Masturbating; we wiped away the human race.
We tried to claw up into heaven but we fell into hell.
Charade. You will feel no pain.
Extinct. Head back to a dreamless sleep.
Misery.

The juxtaposition of how dark and heavy their music is and how goofy their music videos are is what makes me love The Acacia Strain so much.

[@brianwilliams8021]

I've been telling people this for years.

Right I was kinda let down she didn’t have a bigger part, & no screaming :( dope song though regardless! I hope they do more collabs again soon!!

[@bobdickersonske7563]

This just made my day

[@nolankuffner3573]

To be fair to the band, the actual song was written for Courtney over a year before Holy Roller and this video still released months before that song debuted. Could they have featured a bigger part? Sure. Had Spiritbox barely toured and not really started blowing up yet? Also true. A year or two later, I guarantee that Courtney's part would have been bigger, but they were still fairly new at the time (especially when the song was written or recorded).

Dude. This is why i love metal so much. The music is so heavy, but then you see the band members being themselves and they're all just all super cool and goofy. I saw TAS live in Lubbock TX a few years back, it's still my favorite show of all time. They're the GOAT lol.

I have followed this band since their beginning with ...And Life is Very Long and 3750...Then the Dead Walk and Continent...Those 4 albums were absolute baby-killing, Grandma destroying, BANGERS!!! They just continue to put out BANGER after BANGER without taking shit too seriously, I love seeing Vince, Kevin and the rest of the band, get older, as I do....I will hold these guys forever in my musical locker as the heaviest band EVER....THANKS TAS!I On another NOTE: I REALLY HOPE Ms. LaPlante is brought in on another song and gets to UNLEASH THE BEAST onto a track...Great song, but missed opportunity of chaos with Court....

[@dmfabrications8732]

Atmosphere. The atmosphere this band creates is incredible, hard to believe it’s been over 10 years since Wormwood too.

[@TheSickjits]

Had heard a few songs from the car bomb era, always knew who they were but didn't really get into them until Continent came out. Every album has just gotten better since. Really rare for a band to do that

[@westdesertwheeler2666]

I could see this coming, when most bands have this big gnarly banners behind them on stage with flames and blood cannons. TAS had three giant inflatable balloons T A S through their performance and they destroyed more than any other band that night. These dudes are the best.

I've been listening to TAS since The Dead Walk and before then catching them at random VFW shows in the MA area wayyy back in the day. They haven't changed their core sound much, but it never gets old or monotonous... it's actually pretty fucking amazing considering not many other bands find their own sound, let alone keep it through the years without sounding stale.
