Acacia Strain, The : The Dead Walk

Out of stock

Label: Prosthetic Records
Description:
The Acacia Strain want to be the penultimate hard
rock/post-grunge/doom/speed/death/black/metalcore band, and their
sophomore release and debut for Razor & Tie does an awfully good
job at taking the bull by the horns. The Dead Walk takes the redundancy of the metalcore scene to task by utilizing the heavy riffing of "Creeping Death"-era Metallica, the industrial cacophony of "Broken"-era Nine Inch Nails, and the malevolent fury of Cannibal Corpse (without the attention-grabbing song titles) and fusing them into a
blistering juggernaut of sound that is as relentless as it is reliably
electrifying. Deep, serpentine guitar licks appear out of nowhere, drum
fills jump out and grab you when you least expect them, and lead singer Vincent delivers the contents of his stomach at an almost inhuman rate
throughout the short 30-odd minutes of mayhem -- at 3:47, the
thunderous title track seems downright epic. The Acacia Strain may lack
subtlety -- "4X4" begins with the lyric "If I were you I'd pack my bags
and get the fuck out of Dodge" -- but so does heavy metal and all of
its naughty little sub-genres. Play loud.
