The Acacia Strain - "The Impaler" (official music video)

The official music video for "The Impaler" by The Acacia Strain, from the album "Wormwood."

[@RGT85]

This is one of the greatest songs ever. The end.

[@robertmclellan1605]

This dude has more vocal clarity than 75% of dirty vocalists, from pop-punk through black metal and back again, I could hear every word the first time I heard a TAS song.

[@Necronaut]

nobody cares about vocal clarity in this music, we just want him to sound as evil as possible. Why even point it out?

[@norgepalm7315]

@@Necronaut sorry but no

[@Danfromoverthere]

UpInSmokeWeGo I’ve always said that man. You can understand theblyrics

[@lanagievski1540]

Enunciation in heavy music is my favourite thing

[@ericjayfederizo3549]

A day to remember vocals i can clarify the lyrics in scream.. and noticing this one..

[@smokejc]

"You'll survive but you won't want to" is one of the most badass lines.

[@wormoh]

I can assure their earlier lyrics are far more brutal than that :D

[@transformlifemusic]

@@wormohit's still something that speaks volumes though in a very short and sweet sentence is what I think.. not a competition

[@NerdMoto276]

14 years later and nothing hits harder- violence thru music.

[@thalligator016]

since this album came out I never heard such a brutal sounding mix again

[@harveycameroncovers]

to right my subwoofer is going nuts to this

[@SurpassTheDayOff]

Drop it any lower and they're gonna need bridge cables to play the bass.

[@TeddyGNOP]

it's tuned a half step higher than standard, excluding the bottom string lol.

[@TeddyGNOP]

uh huh, because they use 8 strings lol uptuned tho.

[@butdontaskme5345]

Lol seems like they did in gravebloom

[@tfwnoyandere]

i tune a fourth below this on a six string

[@Ruffnek310]

Yet they just got better!

[@blacktide888]

I'm just getting into bands like this and I gotta say man The Acacia Strain is one of those bands Im glad I got into, crazy stuff.

it's pretty epic how brutal Vincent's screams are whilst still being understandable

just found strain.... knew that lamb of god and whitechapel were the best though.... im starting to like strain though

[@dannydaniel2975]

the guitar sounds like a chainsaw! too brutal.

[@itscomingoutofbothends8385]

You foresaw DOOM 2016.

[@SelcraigClimbs]

We as a species do destroy our own ecosystem, the world, and we are the only species going around spilling blood and killing in the name of faith and bringing other species to extinction. This song is such a good social commentary

[@TeddyGNOP]

i used to feel the same way about Molotov Solution. i don't really appreciate lyrics as much as most people do, mostly just because lyrics for this kind of music are trash, but i couldn't help noticing that they have a pretty heavy emphasis on politics. still didn't really listen to them, but it seemed like a respectable theme to lean on for lyrics. at some point i watched a video about Oceano recording Contagion and a couple of dudes from Molotov Soultion were there so the vocalist could do some guest vocals. turns out they're completely retarded lol

[@nunyabidnes5253]

Most blood shed is not from religion. Religious wars only account for 4% of all wars. The rest are from wanting land and resources. Also, the animal kingdom does this. Ever watch Nat Geo? Animals tear each other to pieces all the time. And not always for food. Sometimes for territory or just for sport. Humans are special in a sense that we actually call out injustice unlike animals. I don’t get the whole acting like humanity is a disease trend. Animals don’t make animal shelters and care about preservation. Humans do. Although I think The Acacia Strains lyrics are garbage and contradictory, I love their music.lol.

[@1mindlessmusic1]

Wormwood is such an incredible album

[@MountainnJew]

Need that beard scene on loop

[@thatweirdmetalguy3137]

I love how they dress so casual and produce fvcking hard songs

[@Gaminginthe419]

Wormwood hands down, one of the best albums out there.

[@kyledude321]

Saw these with architects and didn't know a tune by acacia, best band i've seen live, the music, the screaming, no idea how they rock that shit out! Woul''nt normally listen to this stuff but maynn they were out this world

[@1979ford460]

the acacia strain is the best metal band I have ever heard

[@AzrealsGift]

What if instead of sounding like 12 year olds arguing about bands we just enjoy the fucking music and if you don't, leave. It's as easy as that...

[@natedonias9610]

Vincent vocals are so brutal

[@4444HD]

The creepy sounding leads on this album make it so awesome

[@alexxxaviercervantes8482]

This optimally substitutes for caffeine at 3 am Af 😩

[@anthonymcbride855]

Agreed

[@TommyGordon82579]

I absolutely fucking love this band. All of their albums. All of their songs. New and old.

[@doodlez666]

Best Beard concert I've ever heard

[@ReneZZ]

I'm not a fan of this band but I'm sure about the brutality of their vocalist. I mean, is not ultra mega low deep guttural but he has an awesome technique and the screams sound thick as hell.

[@TommyGordon82579]

He’s uses more of a roar. I love it.

[@user-mc9ru9ro2u]

How could you not be a fan of this band? One of the greatest hardcore metal bands ever!

[@phillipsartin1626]

I love how raw it sounds too, like I bet he sounds like that with no production

[@RetroSunday]

Some badass instrumentals and vocals up in this.

[@MilitiaMackMusic]

Thanks for sharing,they rock !

[@EnthusiasticGoat]

This is the first ever song that is really heavy metal, for me to completely understand every thing the vocalist said. damn this is a great song.

Darryl McDaniel nu metal? They're hardcore you Fucking idiot.

[@thelonelybarbarian]

+Marcus Graves hardcore???? oh man could that be farther from the truth

[@marcusgraves7708]

The lyrics are the only thing that make them death core, you ever listen to old acacia strain? Go listen and then come back.

+Marcus Graves I already have child, it sucks ass and is borderline emo music, but they have progressed quite nicely
