What I'll be doing, then

Is reviewing or reflecting on albums of my choice, loosely based around the genre of metal. Yes I'll do deathcore, yes I'll show you things that truly aren't that heavy at all. But fuck you, I love music and I'll do as a I please.

The First album I wanna review is The Acacia Strain's Continent.

Genre:Deathcore, death metal
11 Tracks

The fourth studio album from these behemoths is absolutely, devastatingly hateful. Everything about this record is soeaked through and dripping with misanthropy and I absolutely love it. The atmosphere of the record is consistent, and very telltale of a band's maturing release. My point about that is that when a band first starts off, say..suicide silence-the sound is very scattered and the atmosphere is lost or blurred or simply not there. When a sophomore album rolls around, very often somewhere along the way a band begins to understand much better how to write and produce an album to have a powerful atmosphere without making 10 of the same song. The Acacia strain did this a long time ago, but have truly perfected it with this album. Sure you get lots of 1 0 tritone chuggy bullshit, but it's played and produced well enough that nobody in their right mind whould honestly care. The EMOTION is there, which is all music is really about. Vincent Bennet hates everybody. ANd he hates me, and you, and his mother, and everybody he knows. And he makes DAMN sure you know. The concept of this record has to do with a man finding himself alone on an island, his own continent, devoid of human filth. The whole album sounds more developed and focused than their third release, The Dead Walk. This is definitely something worth your time if you hate everybody as much as I do, or if you just like to bang your fucking head.



MEMORABLE QUOTES" I have found beauty in permanent exile" "I don't sing fucking love songs because there's nothing in this world for me to love. I want the world to have my rape baby so when it's born I can strangle it to death." "If I ruled the world, I'd destroy mankind. If I was king for a day, I'd make sure there was no fucking tomorrow. I'm disgusted by your beauty, I'm unimpressed by your status, this is my continent. This is my world." "and now the world is my fucking toilet" "I am the end of the world"
