The Acacia Strain - "The Hills Have Eyes" (official music video - HD)

What do you mean by that? Not a threat, just want to know if you had a specific reason. This song seems like it’s talking about someone specifically.

I've recently found This band. I'm 46 and grew up on metal. This band is a GREAT addition!

[@vipset87]

better late than never

[@Tecom38415]

Until they see the dancing at shows :/

[@sparkshusky2482]

Heck yeah man. This band was one of my high school jams!

[@7lProthean]

If you haven’t already heard of this song or band that I’m about to share with you, then you should look them up and check it out. There are a lot of really great bands who have made a lot of really great tracks. There are bands and tracks that fall into all the different kinds of sub-genres throughout heavy metal. This song however in my opinion settles and sits as a pure heavy metal sounding track. The band itself is a pretty solid heavy metal song but they don’t always or “fully” sound like a “pure” heavy metal band. This one track though, this one song is THE example of heavy fucking metal. The track is titled Spearheading the Spawn by the band Neaera. Look them up anywhere you can, play this track from the beginning, and experience the purest sounding heavy metal that you’ll ever hear. Right about now I sound pretty damn dramatic or over-the-top, I’m sure I’ll even get picked on a little bit, but I feel like music has always and will always be a very, very passionate thing for a lot of people. Especially for metal head. For me music is more than just noises and structured sounds, music has brought me bliss, comfort, pain, all kinds of wonderful and sometimes not wonderful emotions and feelings. I feel like music has saved my life. I am extremely passionate about music and if I’ve only learned very little throughout the years the single most important thing I feel like I’ve learned over the years is that I am NOT alone. So for anyone who would like to experience true heavy metal in its purest form then I invite you and check out the track/band that I’ve mentioned here in this comment. I wish I could hear this track for the very first time again. I remember when I first showed my cousin too. What a great story. What a great memory. Anyways thank you to those of you who read this far. Right about now I probably seem like the dramatic weird goth kid who needs to dial it back from eleven to about a seven or an eight lol. I hope everyone who reads this has a really great and safe day no matter whenever you’re seeing this. Stay safe, be kind to others, and have a really, really awesome day🤘🏻👍🏻✌🏻❤️

i’ve always absolutely adored the juxtaposition of the brutal seriousness of their rhythms and lyrics and the absolutely hilarious and absurd, over-the-top cartoony style to the bits they do in their music videos. it’s still so fucking great, even in fucking 2021.

I swear it's like they are inside my head making exactly what I want to hear(I run a recording studio, and have the capability. I have an example on my channel). I gave up on finding good stuff a long time ago, and started making my own music how I like it. Then came Continent, and i thought "It can't get any better". Now I hear this. Like, what the fuck?! Most amazing stuff I've ever heard. These guys are doing my own personal hobby for me, and doing it even better than I can.
