The Acacia Strain will go down as one of my all time favorite bands. They are the epitome of everything that i used to listen to, they encapsulate that era of my life. They are the last of a dying breed. And they will be the band that remains to my grave.
The perfect name for this song by TAS. Chhinnamsta is a Hindu Mother goddess. "The self-decapitated nude goddess, usually standing or seated on a divine copulating couple, holds her own severed head in one hand, a scimitar in another. Three jets of blood spurt out of her bleeding neck and are drunk by her severed head and two attendants." 🤘🏻
Good observation, “nothing feels forced”. I like that about the acacia strain, they don’t take themselves too seriously, it doesn’t feel like they’re “trying too hard” to be the heaviest baddest sound out there. No one-upping or contest, just legit pissed off nihilistic music.
I'm not really into TAS but I really love how they put out their music. An album out of nowhere last year, wich was pretty different, and then A collection of two-singles Ep, out every month that will form another album at the end. They basically put out two albums in a short period of time, but the way they did it make it very digest
"A hovering wasteland devoid of time. A cancer magnet breaking down reality. We are rotting hopelessly unaware of our nonexistence." That's some poetic shit my guy.
I seen these guys live at the high grounds New Orleans 13 years ago and it’s still embedded in my head .. heavy heavy .. strobe lights and head banging .. was some crazy shit
@@godwings101 lol proof everything left says is what they are guilty of. You can't trigger me I research and keep an open mind. Why have rioters now killed 17 people do those lifes not matter? Or cnn got your brain melted
The first half of that "we are drowning in the lake" part is SUPER reminiscent of the "this is true crime" part in Carbomb. I love that. Kinda seems intentional.
Never really payed attention to this band, but damn son... I listened to the hills have eyes back when it came out, then that was it. This is amazing though. I've been a metalhead for a decade and I know so many bands so its hard to keep up with all these bands. I've been just bumping Archspire-- Relentless Mutation album and Northlane for the longest time. I am going to buy this album!
I love all music, TAS has been my favorite metal band since I heard JFC in my friends car that had a sub in the trunk, listening to this on my speakers brought me back to that moment and made my eyes a little misty because it’s not only as good as that, it’s leaps and bounds ahead, if 16 year old me heard 2019-2020 acacia strain I’d shit my fuckin pants
Saw these guys at either 1 of 2 concerts back in the day, I cant remember. Sounds of the Underground, OR, Ozzfest. Around 07/08. These guys put on a crazy show then, and still do.
Has anyone else noticed if you compare this version to the one on Spotify (really focus on the first few second when the instruments kick in at about 00:13) the Spotify version sounds like a low quality mp3 version of this one on UA-cam
Jesus is Dog : 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!
Has anyone noticed how eerily prescient Vincent is with his lyrics? "I can't fucking breathe" in this, weeks before the George Floyd incident. "Meet the new normal" in Names from the It Comes In Waves album back in late 2019 just before COVID-19 started to spread.
This is what I call TAS 2020 Was really a sadboi when coma witch and etc was what my dudes were dropping, as a real life long acacia fan it was a bummer I just couldn’t vibe it. There’s moments of this release that are kinda meh but I feel it, expression and shit. So glad to hear moments like this entire song coming from acacia 🙏🦅
I can't fucking breathe The grass is all dead, but I'm choking on the weeds Fruit decaying in the trees Rotting branches swaying gently in the breeze Drain me of my sanity I can't fucking breathe Pray for me I can't fucking breathe We are drowning in the lake We are drowning in the lake A hovering wasteland devoid of time A cancer magnet breaking down reality We are rotting hopelessly unaware of Our nonexistence Drain me of my sanity I can't fucking breathe Pray for me I can't fucking breathe I never made a promise I could keep I close my eyes and pretend to sleep We're only biding our time Barely clinging to life I'm fucking dying inside Pray for me A gaping wound Bleeding darkness into absolution Infecting actuality Living a constant painless death A collection of husking corpses Destined to stride along In eternal ignorance
I've seen plenty of venues enforce that. Security watches the crowd, if somebody starts a pit, they get kicked out. If somebody crowdsurfs, they get kicked out once they're over the barrier. Also, where'd you read that? about "No moshing or crowd surfing due to Covid-19"? Aren't all shows canceled?
@@PatrickHolensaber when shows are back, these will probably be the rules until a vaccine is discovered. Shit wont be the same for a loooong time. Welcome to "the new normal".
Sad reality is, people fucking watch these shows through their phones now, rather than enjoy the moment and music. Fuck those types of people! That'll never be me, Mosh and rock on! \m/
not saying its a bad thing, but getting some real meshugga vibes from the beginning part, but badass song. i truly enjoy it, feels really natural instead of forced with a bunch of extra parts

I learned about these guys when I sat next to the guitarists on a flight back from Brussels and I’ve been a fan ever since. These guys rock!
Awesome man!
I learned about these guys when I sprouted first hair on ball

Who's still listening to this banger 🔥🔥🔥
Became one of my favs.

I'll never fuckin stop. If I make it to 90? This 😆
Listening to this during the sirens from a tornado touching down 🖤🖤🖤
Something about the looming eerie guitars with vivid imagery of beautiful things
While talking about the demise of the world
Really gets me going

Goddamn has this band just continued aging like a fine fucking wine. So goddamn good.
I've been listening to this band for 10 years now, I'm so grateful that they are still making beautiful music. It will be sad when it's over.
Your name... like the rammstein song?
Luckily I'm relatively sure Vincent doesn't intend that to be for many years still.
De-void of time!
I can't fucking breathe.

Metal as fuck
Oh dear, how very graphic
Moist
That's metal as fuck xD
The ultimate dissolution of the ego. Thats what she embodies.
DECAY is going to be one of my favorite TAS albums. Even though it is incredibly simple, it's heavy and nothing feels forced.
All these singles they keep releasing are gonna be on that?
This song is sick 🤘🏻

If ur not into them y u here lol TAS is amazing
"A hovering wasteland devoid of time. A cancer magnet breaking down reality. We are rotting hopelessly unaware of our nonexistence."
That's some poetic shit my guy.
I caught attention to your comment while listening to this exact part haha, that indeed is some poetic shit : P
Good call
This song, is so dark and atmospheric with such a deep meaning of life.
0:28 MUST be played at absolute maximum volume
Shouts out to The Strain for keeping it too real since day one
Fan of TAS since I was in HS back in 06-10 and this album brings back some nostalgic vibes
Me too guy. Class of 07
Same, 2010.
I used to see this band in Chicopee when I was in highschool. They were violent and intimidating.
NEW ACACIA SLAPS
nah bruh, this is still the same old acacia strain. thats why itll always slap!
@@joeymadara7266 na its so different. Its more like black tongue now. Sludge black metal type of vibe
@@aaron5222 man I dig me some Black Tongue....BUT one of my absolute favorite Acacia Strain albums HAS to be Wormwood... fucking BEAST!!!!!
@Jesus is Dog : RIP winds of plague

Amazing TAS track, I love all of their material but this song gives me serious Dead walk/Continent vibes, especially that intro.
I never realized this until now! It's totally continent!
One of the best these guys have released on here. I never make a promise I cannot keep. I close my eyes and begin to sleep pray for me.
Loving these releases!
👍👍👍✅✅✅
Surprised to see you in the comments of a metal band. Lol bee subbed to you guys for a few years now. How is everybody?
Holy shit never would’ve thought you guys were Acacia fans, nice. I love your channel!

20k4 🤘🤘🤘
Up there with one of my favorite Acacia songs of all time 🔥
Chinnamasta is a Devi (Goddess) of dualities or more precisely contradictions. Just dropping info if someone was curious.
This is what i missed since DL's departure, i love this energy!
long time TaS fan here and damn, this is their best song to date.
How can you tell?
Man I dont know....this song is very good... But BEAST dude... Beast is my absolute favorite song
Love this band many years...oh
I seen these guys live at the high grounds New Orleans 13 years ago and it’s still embedded in my head .. heavy heavy .. strobe lights and head banging .. was some crazy shit
This is what McDonalds Sprite tastes like
That snare is very McDonald’s sprite sounding lol
I’m dead this is absolutely rich! Thank you 🙏
McDonald's blows corporate death burger
Fucking tasty!
So WacArnolds tastes like Chhinna mixed with a little masta?
Idk why i didn't get into these guys 10 years ago... they got the best fucking outros. Goosebumps every time
I used to work with one of your moms at a daycare watching babies while I was in high school 😂 still wonder how that lady’s doing. Also great song. ❤
Super good. With vocals becoming so dynamic it can't tell if I'm easily bored with the vocals or enjoying some simplicity for once.
This song kicks ass. easily the best song on the album.
The guitar work on this track tho 🔥🔥🔥
It was a happy guitar accident
"I can't fucking breathe" pretty much wraps up 2020
Fo realz!!
Obviously the song wasn't written with this in mind but the opening lyrics "I can't fucking breathe" are very powerful right now.

JFC vibes. so good

These ACED albums are their best work. Can't get enough
when the vocals kick in (that is something beautiful)
This is the best one out of all the collections so far
The first half of that "we are drowning in the lake" part is SUPER reminiscent of the "this is true crime" part in Carbomb. I love that. Kinda seems intentional.
Chris Dupree or the end of sun poison and skin cancer
It's clearly Decay, like the Decaying environment in the artworks
Edit: is it me or this song fits perfectly the Hunt Showdown mood?
Wow Man. So good. Still bringing that HEAT. "PIT DADDY" OR NOT - STILL & WILL ALWAYS BE ONE OF THE MOST FRIGHTENING PITS U WILL EVER GET IN.
This song right now is so important. It makes me want to breathe with two hearts.
I want to be alone. Not many people know what that truly means.
There's references to the song. Hatebreed had one that goes "Through the Thorns".
The Chromatics had I want to be alone.
I was thinking of that because of psychic vampires maybe. I death metal but I have an arsenal of diversity.
Whoooooo boy that was some of the best four minutes I've ever spent.

same bro
Album was fucking brutal and thats what we love 🤘
yes love the vocal tones sick as ever
TAS is THE best band of 2020
They should be in the next Super Bowl half time show.
PEOPLE NEED TO HEAR THIS!
Jesus is Dog : 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!

Vocals are amazing
2013 riserecords intro sound
hell yeah and this shit destroys the rest of the track
And I'm with it fuck yea
only TAS could title a song after a goddess who decapitates herself and actually do it justice.
👏👏👏👏
I mean they're named after a drug , what cant they do justice too
Spencer not a drug but a disease. Close enough buddy
@@treybooher9608 And their name comes from how African acacia trees can host a LOT of disease-carrying bugs, to boot!
This is golden gold made of gold
The riffs on this are gloriously filthy good lord.
This shit hits harder than the reality of Orwellian dystopia we're living in.
Getting some Chimaira - Wrapped In Violence vibes. God I love this BAND
Dead walk vibes to the max! Love it!
"I can't fucking breathe" how unintentionally topical
"Unintentionally" lol these guys are connected to the Satanists that control this world pal
I don't think you kids understand...this band has been going non-stop since fucking *2002* and they still have not put out a single bad record

@@jordanrichardson7498 Oh wow yeah! Vincent is tapped into something. That's actually what It Comes In Waves is about.
Its almost as if an overtly satanic band is given marching orders from Satan himself
The DMT they extract from acacia bark must be "DEEMZ gods" giving them the run down of our future 🤣🤣

Holy shit! When I hear that drop, its like a blow to my ear from my Mike Tyson!
Wow this is actually dope. I can dig it!!
This song is deep
This makes me feel a little less dead inside 🖤
I can't fucking breathe
The grass is all dead, but I'm choking on the weeds
Fruit decaying in the trees
Rotting branches swaying gently in the breeze
Drain me of my sanity
I can't fucking breathe
Pray for me
I can't fucking breathe
We are drowning in the lake
We are drowning in the lake
A hovering wasteland devoid of time
A cancer magnet breaking down reality
We are rotting hopelessly unaware of
Our nonexistence
Drain me of my sanity
I can't fucking breathe
Pray for me
I can't fucking breathe
I never made a promise I could keep
I close my eyes and pretend to sleep
We're only biding our time
Barely clinging to life
I'm fucking dying inside
Pray for me
A gaping wound
Bleeding darkness into absolution
Infecting actuality
Living a constant painless death
A collection of husking corpses
Destined to stride along
In eternal ignorance
car bomb vibes! god dammit they've aged quite well in my opinion , heavy . love the vocals progressing over time.
Very tasteful song! Perfect. 10/10
best one of these so far imo
This screen loop is hypnotizing
Amazing as always
The ambience was so spooky tho 🦹
The best Chug of all the Chug
cant fool me. this is just dark souls in song form
Made me laugh
This song is so damn good
Opening riff is awfully similar to IED by Spite. Im not a guitarist but i instantly thought of Spite when i heard that riff.
also the little breakdown(?) part reminds me of Cheyne Stokes from Chelsea Grin

not saying its a bad thing, but getting some real meshugga vibes from the beginning part, but badass song. i truly enjoy it, feels really natural instead of forced with a bunch of extra parts
you should check out their 'coma witch' album, really strong meshuggah vibes on that one
They’ve been sounding like Meshuggah for over a decade lol, this isn’t new
How does this sound like meshuggah? No one can sound like meshuggah but themselves. I'm just curious as to what gives you that impression and vibe
zarpado! aguante the acacia strains!!
Yeah🤘
My face feels like it was melted off as soon as I hit play... straight fucking fire.
that intro
I fucking love his new take on vocals, I honestly could never get into TAS due to his vocals
Yes!!!
Can't wait to frame my Decalifragilisticexpialidocious Vinyls.
Yeah bro! All 62 songs are gonna slap!
named my cat after this band, Acacia
TAS have been on an upswing since It Comes In Waves that keeps getting better and better and holy fuck
1:33 just that cymbal going is stupid heavy
They should test that hi-hat for coronavirus... the groove is too sick
IM FUCKING DYING INSIDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
This sounds awesome. Reminds me of old TAS.
The fucking groove in this song hits so good
Dito sa pinas mahihiwaga ang "acacia" so pay some respect to all trees
Does anyone know if they are based out of Albany, NY now?? I thought they were from MASS
I think they are based out of a black hole.
