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).
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
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 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)
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.
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!
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 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
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. ❤️
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
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
Last band I was supposed to see at Chain Reaction before the lockdown in Los Angeles. Happy you guys are able to find happiness during these times. Look forward to raging again one day
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. 🤘🏽
This is legitimately one of the best bands on the planet.
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 greatest song and music video to ever be in existence
Vince looks the HEALTHIEST and best he has in a long time!!!
Don't call him Vince!
@@anthonydunker8444 he wants to get his “head ripped fuckin off”.
Nothing more than a failure to listen
@@veraaj1 its a giant sign of DISRESPECT
DIS-RE-SPECT
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
i really wish courtney had more of a vocal part in this song. she’s so good. vincent and her together could be 🤯
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 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 🤘🖤🤘

The Acacia Strain: I made a music video
Young Gamora: what did it cost
The Acacia Strain: like $3.50

Holy fuck...
Bahaha I cant unsee it now😂
Holy shit you’re right 😂
Fuck I hope he sees this hahaha
cannot unsee 🤣🤣
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 😢
Fun for the entire family. Incredible band!
The CHONKIBOII guitar sounds amazing. I need one of those asap.
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
As a fan of Spiritbox I've never been blue balled harder by anything in my whole life
Same
Dude, that Cat-tar is a mighty fine instrument
I love TAS & Courtney so much. Please tour together when all this madness is over.
One of my favorite drummers.
Man, that guy REALLY knows how to shred on Cattar.
Quarantine music videos done right.
Hell yes, Vincent throwing House of Leaves on that bookshelf. What an amazing book.
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 with period cramps is just 💥🔥
gross

One Thousand Painful Cramps
Best comment by far

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 nice to see the band in their natural habitats. All that’s missing is a David Attenborough voice over.

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!
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
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 🤘🤘
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.
This is the greatest music video I’ve ever seen

I truly adore these guys
courtney couldn't be more perfect !!!!!
the highlight of 2020, thank you TAS & Courtney
Didn’t know Ryan Renolds sung in a band 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 sick track
Love this band ❤️🤟🏼
Vincent looks pretty healthy! He lost much weight and its such a cool dude! Still a really underrated band! Love them
wooooooow cant stop listening
I Love this too much. Yay
i love everything about this video
Burial beer!! Represent NC!!
Album of the year for me
Love you guys! This was awesome
Your music is so underrated and awesome.
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
Absolutely love this 🤘
F'n Awesome, this is my Favorite song from them and this oddball videos just makes it better. Also Courtney rules...
I never knew cats could double up as a guitar. Amazing things you learn everyday.
Lovely song lads love it, heavy as always 🥰🤘🔥
you guys are amazing!!
Haha, this is definitely one of the best music videos I've ever seen. Devin lookin' fly in that elephant suit. Love you guys!

Twerk video to this. No balls

"I'm in a metal band" "Oh, what do you play?" "Cat"
One of my favorite songs on the album. Love this goofy band.
I love everything about this video! Watching another time through and I just now noticed the Pokémon collection at 3:45 🤘😎🤘
I loved it!
Always have been, and always will be one of the best bands. Loved the music video
Devin with some heavy riffage playing that cat. Very impressive. All in all, some nice work here fellas.
Thank you for this!
Such an adorable puppy 🐶 😎😍💖
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
Gotta love these dudes.
They have officially set the bar for music video, not sure if this could be topped.
Devin was having the most fun recording it seems!
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
Yusss!!
This video is exactly what 2020 needed
that was just what I needed for Christmas
Seeing this great gem in 2020 pandemic made the rest of this year that much more worth it 😎☺️🤘🏼♥️
fuck, my teenage years were so dope. SO stoked these guys are still going hard.
You guys are awesome! Love Courtney too!
This is the best video I've ever seen.
Only The Acacia Strain could make such a goofy video to such a sick and heavy track and it fits.
Real solid track. Well done guys!
If I walked by any of these people on the street I would not have any idea they were brilliant metal artists
Courtney and I have the same LG portable AC unit, sick.
This was just too good man
this is why I love TAC
That hat flip was perfection

Please tour with spiritbox. That would be so amazing!
This is my favorite.

was supposed to go to that too. so bummed!
was supposed to see them in Berkeley, March 16
I see Courtney, I click. This is bangin’!
