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).
This was hilarious, it's always great to see a super dark metal band is just a bunch of fun-loving dudes. (Spoiler alert, it pretty much always is that way)
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....
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
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.
@@rossh2386 Oh for sure... what I meant was become a completely different band, like when BTBAM recorded Alaska but then over time became just another Dream Theater wannabe band.
@@livefreeprintguns or like A7X sounding like straight up Metallica now. Vincent's lyrical ability has stayed the same but some how still gotten better each release. What a fucking band.
Dude, prior to this video I had nooo idea that the feature was the singer from Spiritbox. Now I remember her name and that just makes this song even better.
This is SO awesome! A collab with an up and coming badass female singer band, and Vincent looking happy AF. A little light has been shined at the end of 2020! Hell yeah!
Haha, watched with a smile on my face the whole way through. And people say metalheads and metal music is destructive to our brains and makes us do bad things/be bad people 🤣 What a great video
I don't know what just happened, but I loved every second of it, I just subscribed and I'll be sticking around for the future. ...what the hell is this band. I adore them. And Courtney was just perfect for it, too, this whole video / song is fun as hell. I love everything about it. Damn. I'm a fan. I've been here for five minutes and I'm already in love. And obsessed. But not stalker level obsessed. But definitely "I wish I could be a part of this group" obsessed. ...I'm an aspiring vocalist. Anyway. I love you. I hope everyone here has a great day. ❤️
...I think I just found my happiness for the first time in over a decade and a half. And I only just turned twenty-seven in November. Which I know is sad, but I guess it really is easier to make a happy and healthy home for yourself after you get older, even though I hate this house I'm in. The people in here are actually literally just criminals and some of the most hateful people I've ever met. But... I've finally decided, a little while ago tonight, I'm starting my life. Tomorrow after I wake up. No matter how I feel. Because I don't want to live my life like this anymore. I'm barely getting by and I'm miserable. But this... this really makes me feel lighter. Better. And even more so like getting the hell up and doing something I can actually be proud of. So... thank you for making and sharing this. It means a lot to me. ...see you. ❤️
I now understand what everyone was talking about when it came to the mixing for Courtney's vocals. They should be louder to some degree. Awesome song either way, I should check these dudes out
The covered warpigs for home front, i really want to hear them cover the original demo of it walpurgis. Way darker lyrically and would be fucking bad ass to hear it in the new age heavy!. Favorite band digging the new shit

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.
I've been telling people this for years.
Same here.
Look up the video for New Millennium Cynanide Christ - this video reminded me a lot of that!
Facts. Send help is the definition of the acacia strain music videos.
Couldn’t have said it better. 🤘🏽
- Dude what kind of 8-string do you have?
- I mostly shred on my fat orange catto
Extra chunk for dat MEATY tone
I always play drums on my dogs lmao 😂 they get so annoyed by that shit mainly cuz they are vicious little chihuahuas so yeah lmao 😂
Its a balaguer signature model...checkem out! I want one! But they're sold out 5/6mo build time.
i feel like the kid in shrek when i'm watching courtney's parts. "DO THE ROAR"
Facts. I was expecting straight into some chaos
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!!
This just made my day

@@nolankuffner3573They knew Courtney from iwabo, she was an established vocalist already before Spiritbox
The Acacia Strain: I made a music video
Young Gamora: what did it cost
The Acacia Strain: like $3.50
@@bhoviz794 seriously?
Tree fiddy
37,50
@@summeronio9751 just about
I gave them a dollar!
I've been disappointed over the years but the acacia strain hasn't disappointed me in almost 15 years.
🙌
Do you remember when the Acacia strain didn’t sell out and in fact got better? Pepperidge farms remembers.
ALBUM AFTER ALBUM. So consistent. Even with all the lineup changes throughout the groups history. Still INCREDIBLE. Thank you guys.
Courtney with her best Big Chocolate cosplay.
Holy fuck...
Bahaha I cant unsee it now😂
Holy shit you’re right 😂
Fuck I hope he sees this hahaha
cannot unsee 🤣🤣
This is legitimately one of the best bands on the planet.
Vince looks the HEALTHIEST and best he has in a long time!!!
Don't call him Vince!

Nothing more than a failure to listen

i really wish courtney had more of a vocal part in this song. she’s so good. vincent and her together could be 🤯
love that ride groove at 1:28. gets me every time
I am SO glad someone else gets it!
Also me
Gosh that was so sick. Made my day.
Every time
yessssssss
This was hilarious, it's always great to see a super dark metal band is just a bunch of fun-loving dudes. (Spoiler alert, it pretty much always is that way)

Same

Courtney is such a queen and did a really good job in this
Slow Decay is hands down AOTY and this is the best song on the album
Damn straight AOTY & their magnum opus 🤘🖤🤘
Love Vincent's "what are you saying, I can't understand you", at the end! Lol
The greatest song and music video to ever be in existence

Courtney Two stepping gives me life
Dude, that Cat-tar is a mighty fine instrument
Its a scientifically proven fact that cats are the best guitars
hell yea. the aound in the aong from it is sick. this song needs alittle more mayonnaise though
Atmosphere. The atmosphere this band creates is incredible, hard to believe it’s been over 10 years since Wormwood too.
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
Coma Witch is coming up on 10 years soon 😢
The CHONKIBOII guitar sounds amazing. I need one of those asap.
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.
It’s nice to see the band in their natural habitats. All that’s missing is a David Attenborough voice over.
Side note: if Courtney went with a beard she would be a mean Eddie Hermida cosplay
for a split second i thought she was jarrod alonge lol
Guys, guys... She was clearly going for Big Chocolate energy! 🤭
I thought she was Sean harmanis for a second
They’ve had the same drummer for yearssss it’s honestly beautiful how he grew with band over the years
Not anymore
Acacia is literally top of their class. I think it's just official now. Best metal band in the genre. I want to see these dudes!
What genre would you classify this as?
@@metalheadblues best metal ever
Deathcore phonk
0:25
"I'm in a metal band" "Oh, what do you play?" "Cat"
I love TAS & Courtney so much. Please tour together when all this madness is over.

bruh going from 3750 to the dead walk they made such a leap then continued into that sound for the past what 15 years

It’s really cool to see Vincent still repping the Johnny Cupcakes clothing. I have a bunch of his stuff because of him and the kids from FFTL.
Hell yes, Vincent throwing House of Leaves on that bookshelf. What an amazing book.
this with period cramps is just 💥🔥
gross

One Thousand Painful Cramps
Best comment by far
Man, that guy REALLY knows how to shred on Cattar.
Quarantine music videos done right.
Fun for the entire family. Incredible band!

Vincent looks pretty healthy! He lost much weight and its such a cool dude! Still a really underrated band! Love them
Haha, watched with a smile on my face the whole way through. And people say metalheads and metal music is destructive to our brains and makes us do bad things/be bad people 🤣 What a great video
I love straining my voice to your music after work on the 110 in LA after a bitch of a day! Courtney you are amazing in everyway!
I love the drum tone on this!
It's no "The Hills have eyes" but it's solid & thicc 🤘🤘
This is exactly what I needed right now. Thank you so much TAS and Courtney!
This is easily TAS's heaviest, darkest song
Perfectly represented by the video I might add.
Darkest song would be cold gloom or observer surely
Mouth of The River?
Every song off The Dead Walk would like a word.
Can't tell if this is a joke lol
I never really managed to get into The Acacia Strain but this album really made it for me. Holly cow, I can't even get enough of it now!
Haha, this is definitely one of the best music videos I've ever seen. Devin lookin' fly in that elephant suit. Love you guys!
Love this band ❤️🤟🏼

Lovely song lads love it, heavy as always 🥰🤘🔥
Your music is so underrated and awesome.

F'n Awesome, this is my Favorite song from them and this oddball videos just makes it better. Also Courtney rules...
i love everything about this video
Such an adorable puppy 🐶 😎😍💖
The covered warpigs for home front, i really want to hear them cover the original demo of it walpurgis. Way darker lyrically and would be fucking bad ass to hear it in the new age heavy!. Favorite band digging the new shit
Love you guys! This was awesome
3:45 Ah yes, Courtney "My Pokemons brings all the nerds to the yard" LaPlante is finally canon. Bless.
Devin with some heavy riffage playing that cat. Very impressive. All in all, some nice work here fellas.
I loved it!
Yusss!!
Yes
Only The Acacia Strain could make such a goofy video to such a sick and heavy track and it fits.
Thank you for this!
fuck, my teenage years were so dope. SO stoked these guys are still going hard.
They have officially set the bar for music video, not sure if this could be topped.
Courtney and I have the same LG portable AC unit, sick.
Exactly what I needed and I didn't even know it...🖤
This video was fantastic! Made my day, made me laugh! Thanks TAS for all you do! :)
If I walked by any of these people on the street I would not have any idea they were brilliant metal artists
Gotta love these dudes.
Please tour with spiritbox. That would be so amazing!
One of my favorite songs on the album. Love this goofy band.
Great song.
I love everything about this video! Watching another time through and I just now noticed the Pokémon collection at 3:45 🤘😎🤘
Real solid track. Well done guys!
This is the best video I've ever seen.
Thank you
This is my favorite.
Beautiful
this is why I love TAC
brutal song 🤘😈🤘😈
This was just too good man
Hey @riserecords why did you take down the spiritbox writing a song process video???
Always have been, and always will be one of the best bands. Loved the music video
You guys are awesome! Love Courtney too!
