Just…good grief man, already commented but I just love this so much. This feels like the end they’ve been moving towards for a long time now. Not that I think they should be at their end! But there’s been hints of this coming and I’m so glad it did. Also want to say: Kevin’s drumming is so fucking perfect….it’s not over-the-top busy and distracting from the cold atmosphere of succumbing to an inevitable fate…it enhances it so much and adds such perfectly timed power and emotion. I often don’t find percussion to be able to convey much emotion but holy shit Kevin does, on tracks like this and on 2014’s “observer”. Vincent’s vocals have just become God-tier. They’re intelligible and full of so much raw feeling. Not trying too hard to be brutal or heavy and at the same time about as heavy and the sad kind of angry (I feel this too) as it’s possible for a human to transmit. Their music has long been a source of cathartic release for shit i feel and have a hard time getting out. I know they’ll probably never see this comment but if you guys do I just want you to know I’m thankful and you’ve really helped me get through life and find something external to match an inner intensity of frustration, anger, and feelings of futility. And y’all are kicking ass with the direction you’ve been going. God bless (I don’t know if that’s weird or offensive to say God bless you to a band like this but I trust the expression of good will comes across haha)
To be honest Vincent is always in God mode he's one of my favorite vocalists of all time. Perfect death chords. I got a lot of my screaming and growling from him and David Randall Blythe and sometimes sound like Christopher Barnes all my favorite low growls and screams. I think my high pitched screams come from Suicide silence and Infant annihilator. My style is idgafuck but I'll do it for the love and make it death metal or death core either way!
Vincent is a lyrical mastermind weaving parts of various songs lyrics to tell this song's story. I'm blown away by these albums. Must have listened through at least 12 times since last night
I just saw them play this album live in NYC about 2 weeks ago. THIS song live was a fucking transcendant experience. Been a fan since the dead walk dropped. The growth is absolutely astronomical.
@kasaeuberlichproduction5981 For me yeah, but that's just my opinion. I've listened to this at least twice a day since its release. Your taste may be different from mine though
The church bell/funeral toll around the 4 minute mark is soooooo good and well fitting. Appreciate that they didn’t overdo it…just once for effect and not diminished or corny through repetition or anything overly dramatic
All of your dreams have come true; out of love. All of your dreams have come true. We have failed you. The mouth of the world will swallow us whole. We all die slow This part hits different knowing the chaos 2024 is turning to be.
Wish someone would make more lyric videos for acacia & for this song. If I didn’t suck so bad at computer stuff I would do it. I see so many lyric videos for other bands but with how popular they are I’m surprised more people don’t make them for Acacia.
A arning to the world A warning to the world We all lived here We all died here We all lived here Then it was over The ground and animals burned The world continued to turn This earth was green and blue No longer me, no longer you This world has turned its back to us We could have all been saved The earth itself looks down on us This gaping hole will be our grave My love will be felt Praying for heaven but begging for hell The cut still stings We ruined everything Imagine the overgrowth as your body begins to decompose The mind lives on, but the body dies Where do I go when I die? Where do I go when I die? Where do I go when I die? Will you miss me when I'm gone? We cannot escape All of your dreams have come true Out of love All of your dreams have come true We have failed you The mouth of the world will swallow us whole We all die slow We all die slow We all... die Silence is the only sound The fire burns it to the ground Picking muscle from bone We were here but no one will ever know Failure will follow you Wherever you may go Failure will follow you Wherever you may go Into the light, into the grave Failure will follow you Wherever you may go Failure will follow Failure will follow Failure will follow Failure will follow
I don’t like when I’m balls deep and loading another whip it and Sandy Shitstorm interrupts me with an ad at 7 minutes. Other than that I dig the long songs. Who’s this fair maiden tickling my ears as I type this? Ohhh. Ooohhnnh hell yeah! WRESTLE MY BEAR ONCE! WRESTLE IT!!!
Long since moved on from metalcore + breakdowns + mosh music, but I can get behind this. I'm guessing no one in the band is under 40, just transition into a slow band and leave the moshing for the kids 🤷♂️
...huh? Moshing is for kids? Are you putting an age limit to who can mosh? lmfao I've seen 30-50 year olds running some rounds in the pit. But we get it man, you're a grown man now and grown men only listen to fast breakdown music and don't dance to fast breakdown music, correct?
@@luweewee ?? grown men listen to whatever they want. Yes, I think there is a time when it's best to let the kids have their scene. Moshy metalcore breakdown bands almost exclusively appeal to kids aged 14-25. Most of us kind of grow out of it by 30. When I was 16 the last thing I'd wanna see is a 37 year old grandpa in the pit. Doesn't mean you can't still love the music, go to shows, etc.
I'm 50 and still am always on the rail and in the pit...maybe not as much but pretty close,i also weight train daily and practice MMA as a sparing partner for fighters. So i am guessing you are talking about a normal 50 year old whos out of shape or something?
@@luweeweehe said moshing isn’t for him anymore, and that he’s getting older. All this other stuff and noise about age limits who can’t do what, that’s yours. But yeah hilarious
@@hugemetalfan6664 listen to both of them immediately. As well as Cattle Decapitation - Terrasite all three dropped on the same day and they are the albums of the year.
It's washy and has no direction. Gloomy and atmospheric but not something I can't get out of my head. Maybe the brilliance achieved takes time to take hold, not unlike a virus.

Well said.
I agree Charlie Brown perfect. I wonder what would unlock my brain on shrooms to this song

I hope the guys keep going with this more doomy sludgy sound
Its good but its also a little washy.
@@kasaeuberlichproduction5981 washy?
That woman singing the lullaby of inevitable failure is also next level incredible. I could listen to that on loop all day

I can't express with any language I know just how amazing this album is. I'm absolutely floored by this
Better than Continent?
@kasaeuberlichproduction5981 For me yeah, but that's just my opinion. I've listened to this at least twice a day since its release. Your taste may be different from mine though
Thats hard to say...but i am leaning towards yes.
The church bell/funeral toll around the 4 minute mark is soooooo good and well fitting. Appreciate that they didn’t overdo it…just once for effect and not diminished or corny through repetition or anything overly dramatic
What a journey of a song. Loved it!
Hated that I got an ad @ 7 min mark :p
Bruh threw me off so hard
Ahhhhh!!! That interruption was atrocious!!!!!
I’m so impressed by this. It’s genuinely moving and heavy as fuck.
Absolutely amazing. Love this band!
All of your dreams have come true; out of love.
All of your dreams have come true. We have failed you.
The mouth of the world will swallow us whole.
We all die slow
This part hits different knowing the chaos 2024 is turning to be.
How hard is it to give credit? C'mon Rise, do better next time
Edit: Finally, mistake has been fixed
The woman singing is Iris.exe.
STOP DELETING COMMENTS AND GIVE CREDIT.
This doomy groove present in all three tracks resonates with me on so many levels.
Wish someone would make more lyric videos for acacia & for this song. If I didn’t suck so bad at computer stuff I would do it. I see so many lyric videos for other bands but with how popular they are I’m surprised more people don’t make them for Acacia.
THE LAST 60 SECONDS GAVE ME ELDEN RING VIBES
That's iRis.exe singing
elden cock ring
That's pretty fuckin gay
@@munsellfamily2420 so happy for her, I’m crying
The transition at 9:20 is the best from any song this year!
and that absurdly low chug at 5:11
I hear Vincent as my Tulpas voice.
Goddamn I’m so glad I checked on acacia strain after a few years. They keep getting better.
beautiful
iRis.exe is the artist at the end that is featured but not credited - and the channel deleted my previous comment giving proper credit to that artist
was expecting to see this comment, like for iRis.exe
They put it in the title lmaoo
Smoke up. Put this album on and watch the film Mad God. Perfection.
Failure will follow you
Wherever you may go
This is fucking incredible.
Who is Iris.EXE? Who is IRIS.EXE?
5:11 to 5:40 Jesus what a badass song
Doomy TAS is my vibe
Acacia Strain listened to Black Tongue and Saif "that sounds sick"
stop deleting comments and give Iris.exe the credit she deserves
Beautiful. Just Beautiful
This album is a game changer!
666 like? Fuck yeah
It dropped one so I gave it back.
A arning to the world
A warning to the world
We all lived here
We all died here
We all lived here
Then it was over
The ground and animals burned
The world continued to turn
This earth was green and blue
No longer me, no longer you
This world has turned its back to us
We could have all been saved
The earth itself looks down on us
This gaping hole will be our grave
My love will be felt
Praying for heaven but begging for hell
The cut still stings
We ruined everything
Imagine the overgrowth as your body begins to decompose
The mind lives on, but the body dies
Where do I go when I die?
Where do I go when I die?
Where do I go when I die?
Will you miss me when I'm gone?
We cannot escape
All of your dreams have come true
Out of love
All of your dreams have come true
We have failed you
The mouth of the world will swallow us whole
We all die slow
We all die slow
We all... die
Silence is the only sound
The fire burns it to the ground
Picking muscle from bone
We were here but no one will ever know
Failure will follow you
Wherever you may go
Failure will follow you
Wherever you may go
Into the light, into the grave
Failure will follow you
Wherever you may go
Failure will follow
Failure will follow
Failure will follow
Failure will follow
Love these guys Fuck Man this is the type of Muzic you want your grandparents too listen 2/keep it FUCKIN BRUTAL GUY'S 🪖👊✌️❤️LA / TANK-GIRL 🇺🇲

soundtrack to the apocalypse
Oh so you ARE deleting comments!!
I want to do shrooms on this song i wonder what it would look like
BEST IDEA
9:00 and on WHEW
This album needs a really troubled yet talented director to make a beautifully grotesque film for the entire thing 😈🙌🏽💀
The beginning gave ne black tongue second death vibes
Nasty guitar tone
The woman singing at the end, iRis.EXE, makes this whole song, and it should have ended with her singing in silence
Next time you write an acacia strain album you do it that way
Beautiful 🖤🖤
Any recommendations like this?
Vildhjarta
Kublai Khan, body snatcher, larcenia roe..are kinda similar in my opinion

Just straight up nasty this album.
This is the best thing since the dead walk, but this still doesn't hold a candle to "whao! shut it down!"
Is this like a bonus song from this album?
They released two albums. This is track 1 from the EP "Failure Will Follow"
@@tparkerino hmm I didn’t know they released two albums. Oh I gotcha.
