Here’s the deal: Most of your precious “real metal” bands suck, and many of them have been sucking for quite a few years now. Even bands like Slayer, Megadeth, In Flames, CC, Dimmu, Bodom, etc – none of them have put out truly good records in recent years.

Don’t even get me started on the likes of Black Tide, Steel Panther, or the slew of Anthrax circa 1987 ripoffs that are playing thrash again, as if to further perpetuate this strange 80s revival gimmick (music, fashion, republicans) that this decade has seen.

On the other hand, bands like The Acacia Strain are putting out quality records and playing great live shows. The kicker for me is that virtually all “extreme” metal has some degree of hardcore influence, yet most of you here hate on anything with the suffix “core” in it.

In any event – music evolves, music changes. Hell, metalcore isn’t really even metalcore anymore – it’s now turned into deathcore, mathcore, techcore, or whatever you want to call it. You can either evolve with music and find something that you like, or you can sit with your arms crossed and listen to Rust In Peace while clamoring for the days of old. They aren’t coming back, folks. So move on with the times.

Fukin haters.

Hardcore is for a certain type of person, if it was for the average mainstream music listener… the genre would suck and would definitely seize to exist. If one is a true music lover, one should respect what this band has to put out. What The Acacia Strain has done for the hardcore community cannot be expressed for words. Their live show is intense and brings in people from all over the east just to get a taste of this genre which we all call “metalcore.” Don’t hate, this is not your everyday tight pants and wrist slitting band. This is a band of talent, maturity, and of course what we all love brutality in its finest form. Fuck all your headbangers and pushpitters. This is the real shit.

If you’re in the mood for a heavy album, this is a good to get into.
Good review.

if your open-minded like me, you’ll like the acacia strain and “pure” metal bands. I listen to suffocation, morbid angel, dying fetus etc. And i listen to hardcore bands like Ceremony, Trash Talk, Bracewar etc. Dont give it a bad review cause your not into that type of music. and for all the people that hate hardcore dancing should shut the fuck up. people hardcore dance to hardcore, push mosh to metal, and skank to punk, that simple. just because your not in the scene means its stupid. respect all forms of moshing, to the outside world, it looks same lol.

Acacia is a bad ass band end of story! very BROOTAL I mean I much more loved it when Acacia was in the Hardcore scene more so than the metal scene where they are not understood.

fuck all you motherfuckers.
the acacia strain is fucking raw. period.
i’ve seen them countless times and they always put on an amazing show.
i fully understand that you gay ass butt metal kids don’t quite have the mental capacity to grasp their music, so stfu you obviously don’t know what ur talking about.
don’t dis it till you go to a show and actually give it a chance.

acacia is here to stay, suck my dick. peace.

I look at these reviews and make critical comments, because 99% of this site gives metal a bad name.

I grew up/around with these guys, first cd was incredible, the dead walk? eh, but this cd has caught my attention once again. As far as the lyrics? If you have seen, or know these guys than you will understand that’s how they have always been…my cousin was thrown up on once at a show in our hometown by an old bass player…funny shit. They have many cds, someone thinks their ok.

Saw this band last year at Sounds of the Underground. And thought they fucking sucked.

I am so burnt out on all these bands that do a fast death metal part, then a boaring ass breakdown part. So all the scenester fags can fling thier arms around.

Yeah, “beaners” don’t know metal. I wonder what Tom Araya, Dave Lombardo, Pete Sandoval, Craig Locicero (Forbidden), Black Tide, and countless others would say about that.
