The Acacia Strain - Servant In The Place Of Truth

iTUNES: smarturl.it/tas-death-is
MERCH: riserecords.merchnow.com/catal...
Grab life by the throat and tear out its eyes.
Victims of the myth that everyone dies.
Buried alive from the inside out.
The maggots will crawl from your pretty mouth.
You dig the hole, I'll find the bodies.
Silent lies.
Quiet eyes.
No surprise.
Dead will rise.
You dig the hole, I'll find the bodies.
I feel like I am losing my breath.
The weight of the world is crushing me to death.
Cursed are the living we envy the dead.
There never will be a light up ahead.
When the sun sees its final set,
And we all choke our final breath.
Underneath all the coughing and hacking;
You will hear me, I will die laughing.

Most criminally underrated TAS song. Ending is a straight up ass beater.

[@eliash8903]

Get this song back on spotify.

[@n00bstacle]

I want it on spotify so bad

[@andreasb3356]

I second this

[@willpellerin413]

💯

[@jordanwendell6279]

& apple Music 😒😂

[@scotttheprobot9096]

Need it

[@toddjones5480]

Death Is The Only Mortal album is majorly overlooked. i suggest anyone and everyone go back and give that one a listen with good speakers, not just earbuds or bad laptop speakers etc. the guitar sound may not be ultra polished or technically brilliant but theres something about that record that feels physically unsettling and its a very nice time.

[@shermangriffin2722]

this damn song isnt even on it though, straight up been listening to these guys since 2006 and never heard this song until today. I love it, such a good album, but I will admit I didnt like it at first, now I have more favourite songs off it than other albums, it definitely grew on me

[@MichaelM1349]

It’s always been one of my favorites personally. I wish this song had been on it though. Cause this encapsulates that albums vibe pretty well!

[@jdelli1]

This is by far my favorite song by them. Why would this not be the lead single of an album? The song is just an absolute monster

[@chazriley7075]

Continent and that dead walk all have bangers as well. This is their best song post continent. No doubt 🤘

[@barndencactus]

Sometimes you gotta hide the gems.

[@joecociuba4722]

This was the song that was released solo right before Death is the Only Mortal album release. Therefore, it kind of is an intro to an album

[@brucevann6656]

Sickest shit ever!

[@xXMaNBaGsXx]

i like how every single second of this song is a breakdown

[@ReneZZ]

One of the most beautiful endings ever. I cry every time I hear it. Please, get this on Spotify 💀

[@3cch1fb]

Yessss

[@Silvah777]

A two minute long breakdown? Heavy as fuck!

[@spenceredwinrobson]

Always coming back to this one.

[@YoBadSniperDude]

One of the best breakdowns of all time.

[@jokejoke448]

It is my favorite. I’ve never heard a mix so good. I actually can’t listen to it often cause I almost crash my car every time. :))))

[@blinddog5016]

Easily, still to this day

[@chazriley7075]

Still hits

[@MichaelSmith-zw5fu]

It’s a crime this isn’t on Spotify yet.

[@joecociuba4722]

Just checked. Still not. Sum bullshit

[@willzavala9890]

It used to be. 😞

[@joecociuba4722]

@@willzavala9890 did it really? Y would they take it off of there?😑

[@brucevann6656]

Fuck spotfy

[@scotttheprobot9096]

Need it

[@fattybergeson]

I don't always listen to metal, but when I do, I listen to The Acacia Strain because their music is filled to the brim with unadulterated ball-busting brutality.

[@DoctorLipsh1ts]

When the sun sees its final set And we all choke our final breath Underneath all the coughing and hacking You will hear me, I will die...laughing.

[@kaliber4536]

best part of the song

[@chrisjones3375]

Blegh

[@matthewjames2649]

Truth... scares you...¿¿¿

[@ihatejamon]

"Spin kicks child in the face" *BLEGH*

[@blinddog5016]

That breakdown is literally one of the heaviest I've ever heard

[@Turbo_Toad]

RE-ADD THIS TO SPOTIFY IT'S YOUR BEST SONG

[@Weakling250]

Started throwing elbows in my own room when that breakdown hit, god fucking damn

[@brandontolbert2558]

The Acacia Strain is hands down one of the best bands I have seen live, and that was just last week.

[@MisterAnthropist]

proof that simple can be crazy. that end part is a big boy.

[@Divine_Serpent_Geh]

MisterAnthropist Yes! That riff is mind-bendingly catchy, and extremely brutal. Makes you want to crush fucking souls.

[@greendragonmaster420]

Relatable

[@purehate7961]

For sure bro

[@FishininFunkyTown]

I just started really appreciating the strain when I saw them live 2 days ago , Vincent's vocals are so much better live .

[@pozerhater14]

2:21 - 3:58 this is the reason i love this band and love seeing them live

[@Doomistic]

You need to see them live. I fell in love with them when I saw them live.

[@metalmaniac1980s]

2010s Wormwood release was actually produced really well. Had a great equal production. I like that they are different than most genres. Granted the barking vocals aren't something that isn't over done, but these are in a sense clear. I'm a hairmetal/powermetal/melodic rock guy and I greatly enjoy The Acacia Strain and the way they write and produce.

[@katerinaO_o]

*_Sound Volume: 100%_* I'm not sure the old lady next door will survive this, but ok...

[@deathwishofauxx8806]

Kät 得 I do that shit to my neibors one time the dude drove like 60 down a 25 road because I jumpscared him with death metal😂

[@ALQue11]

is it just me or do Vincent's vocals get better every time they release something new?

[@JJordan1012]

I was front row when they came to Grand Rapids, Michigan lol I was on crutches so I got to sit on the stage and they didn't care. The singer was more than happy to get a pic with me too.He was just walking around before there show and no one knew it was him or something So I crutched over there fast and talked to him and got my pic with him. They actually care about the fans! None the less it was a SICK show. I had a little wall of people making sure I didn't get trampled. METAL 4 LIFE!

[@EdgeOfTheEarth91]

thanks man, really appreciate it!

[@gregbanner6893]

I would really like to be able to buy this on iTunes 🙌🏻

[@dmatthews1992]

This is dope. When I heard wormwood it helped me grow up fast. Made me realize how hard life is going to be but also helped me get over it faster. Thank you TAS, you saved my life.

[@MrStevebmx]

Not sure how you can hate on a band that has an awesome sound and keeps it going without selling out to what people want. Good job TAC, keep it up.

[@PatrickFelger]

Thank you! I was reading through thinking the same thing.

[@LamontAvery]

Why is this not on Spotify yet?

[@fluffycy]

BLEGH!

[@CableReadyTechnoSIut]

No one does it better

[@ROTakeshi]

This is fantastic....

[@PI37U]

ikr. so pumped about that one

[@Hahvayz]

I loved this tone they had, Death is the Only Mortal was the best album they ever made period.

[@whatokyea96]

absolutely. massive sound for the time too

[@xRENEGADE156]

Better than continent or dead walk? C'mon bro. This is like the last good material TAS ever made. Everything after was so boring after DL left.

[@andrewgibbons7465]

I dunno, I like Coma Witch the best. Continent is awesome also

[@TheCyberReporter]

Continent, DITOM, WORMWOOD

[@chazriley7075]

3750-wormwood anything aftet is mehh

[@JayxMetal]

Acacia Strain is the Super Saiyan 4 version of old Emmure

[@killswitchhabib]

THIS IS AWESOME

[@WOOLYMONKY]

Thank you!

[@MzBUZZKILINGTON]

Their drummer looks like he's turned 15 finally.

[@spookytay]

simple, but one of the best things i've ever listened to...2;21 is like the fucking apocalypse

[@xjeremykniffenx]

So ready for the album!

[@granth81]

THANK YOU.

[@serious8147]

BRING BACK DL!!!!

[@baconcrisis1871]

I wish their new album 'coma witch' was alittle similar to this..

[@whatokyea96]

Everything is ass after DITOM

[@CalebSurvive]

I would have NEVER EVER pictured this band signing to Rise.

[@hyvnglvrd]

Still one of the best TAS songs. DL was a beast.

[@DrumsAndMetal]

Why wasn't this put on an album???

[@ytormentory2369]

because its a single?

[@DrumsAndMetal]

NAWWW really?!

[@ytormentory2369]

DrumsAndMetal yep they released this before they put out DITOM

[@terrenceiglus9557]

it was re named the cauterizer...

[@tHeXeKuter]

Terrence Iglus lmao no...

[@1594simonsays]

macho man jack in this pic

[@JoshDgamff]

Me too! This song is sounding Djenty, and I dig.

[@DankTranquillity]

possibly their best work to date fucking love when bands keep improving and developing their sound

[@BallsofFURRY09]

Sounds great! It has that Acacia Strain sound to it!!!

[@wudgeypudger]

THAT was awesome

[@NateGales1]

I have played this song so many times the past few days

[@saprijean]

hell yea agree. saw him live for the first time and i was fukin impressed he is definitely a solid as drummer

[@dopedoctoronline5023]

Was looking for this one on Spotify, nowhere to be found! Gotta come here for my fix every time.

[@iBreedNToast]

Dude same! I listened through Wormwood, Death is only mortal, and coma witch to check what album it was on. I just realized it was a single they released...

[@xJawsomex]

I may be going out on a limb here, but this has to be Vincent's best set of lyrics he's written yet. This song is toooo fucking heavy. I love it

[@tteksarbttam]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn the last minute and a half of this is amazing

[@BreakBonesWreckHomes]

omg that intro (excuse me if i sound like a derp, i'm a drummer and not very great with guitar terms) with the high sounded guitar over the low sound is brilliant

[@HFLanciaStratos]

That intro is the most awesome thing I've ever heard. Hands down.

[@zachbowman9882]

perfect..just perfect...

[@ASxGOODxASxDEAD]

No, it's going to be on their new album called "Death Is The Only Mortal" dropping Oct. 9th, 2012. They also released another single after this called "victims Of The Cave" also to be on their new album. Everything you needed to know.

[@englshmn]

I wish they had this song when I saw them live. This is beautiful.

[@CONsamVerge]

i like this .... it is 7 times that I see you live and it's not the last time

[@MrRatfinkJR]

Awesome, I appreciate it =)

[@imvengeance666]

Daddy please put this on streaming services. Thank you.

[@n00bstacle]

Man i still love this song

[@shampoodaking]

BRUTAL

[@extremesportsandsex]

best breakdown ever

[@LLSSPoet]

Sweet

[@McGhillicutty]

Didn't really like this song the first time I heard it, but man has it grown on me. Sick. TAS has been my favorite band for 5 years.

[@pweiss1983]

I'm quote jolly as it is thank you.

[@Wdevore816]

10 year death is the only mortal rerelease with this song added PLEASE!

[@Delfudgecakes]

One of the best bands on Rise. In my opinion.

[@XBRANDONLEIGHX]

very true. thanks for the insight, im over it.

[@guruman112]

The intro sounds so much like meshuggah. I FUCKING LOVE IT

[@Thisabadusername]

o thx bro

[@Fast4VVard]

Wish that they played this live

[@tomview1]

this band is so good

[@ThenThereWasNone1]

sick cover man, best on youtube yet, and i agree, this is alot better than their older material

[@frisbee3145]

God fuckin bless. 8:30am and this song just gets us up and going.

[@ShelbiRViers]

im just gonna rip this audio from the video and put it on the cd anyway!! I love how you can pull out influences from other bands as you listen

[@TheMightyBurrito]

That snare is VICIOUS

[@trackbloopers]

well-done

[@smokejc]

TAS' guitar tuning is so awesome.

[@theXskaterXbandkidxx]

And this is why i love THE ACACIA STRAIN. Always will

[@Pussiepressups]

I agree with this.

[@mobydickforreal123]

On a brighter not, this shit is such a stepup from their older stuff! Congrats dudes!

[@Philluminati0n]

I'm glad that them signing to Rise didn't change their style. I am extremely excited for this new album!

[@judsonmccarthy1918]

I didn't like The Acacia Strain till I saw them live. One of my favorite bands for sure, and I hope the continue to make the music they make, regardless of what people think about them. This shit is fucking hard as concrete. keep it up guys.

[@FuckTheAuthority666]

New TAS... Me gusta.

[@JamesHJanish]

I like it a lot. Just enjoy the musicand apreciate them still making music for us.

[@tonyasteele2893]

[@TunnelJumper]

[@TheBtmfdr]

I SERIOUSL JUST LITENED TO THIS 8 TIMES IN A ROW!!! IM BEGINNING TO THINK THIS MAY BE THERE BES SONG YET!!!!! SO PUMPED FOR THE NEW ALBUM!!!!!!!!

[@Siisjoonperkele]

Word!

[@mclovingoldman4182]

I absolutely love The Acacia Stain, but I just found this song somehow. Reddit brought me here, shoutout to micahhorner lmao

[@DoctorLipsh1ts]

Vincent said this in response to that exact question: "We just wanted to do something to let people know we were still around. We also wanted to show everyone that we weren’t going to “change” or whatever just because we signed to a different record label. It’s already out there and all over the internet. A lot of people bought it, so why would we want to include it on the record? We would rather give ten fresh tracks for people to listen to than a bunch of new songs and one re-recorded one."

[@mixterdeeshay]

Old schooler here, this track is sicker than Ebola...Respect!

[@xWagnerPlaguesx]

ok thanks bro

[@shawny757]

this is soo fucking heavy i love it!!!

[@skippy7865]

I completely forgot The Acacia Strain were on Rise.. Badass

[@kevNchris445]

BOOM!! my favorite also. I love you!
