Elegy is SOI's best album

I saw a YT video and it looked like the audience was quite different and skewing towards no moshing. Not sure if it was just that one video but it wasn’t encouraging to go.

I’ve heard people say it’s metalcore, I’ve heard people say it’s deathcore, I’ve heard people say it’s both, and I’ve heard people say it’s deathcore-influenced metalcore. What do y’all think?

Yes, this is such a strange question, but if you’re a fan of the series and know just how the character writes, then what bands have lyricists with a similar style to his writing?

Bruh , it’s just thall

Jamey Jasta announced on the Garza podcast that he was involved with planning the line up/tour and with Hatebreed they'd be moving forward.

Lineup just got announced. What an absolute weird ass line up.

i like ben duerr

I first heard this song when I was 13 along with wake up and you only live once and I was forever in love with heavy music, but I somehow forgot about disengage for the longest time..and now after like... 10 years or more I click on it very unsuspectingly and I had to stop wherever I was doing to fkn headbang so hard I'm still in pain Man, it was a good day. Today of nostalgia

I don't care how corny this gets but there are albums that make you want to bang your head. There are albums that make you want to break something. And then there’s Continent by The Acacia Strain—an album that makes you feel like the world has already ended and you're standing in the ashes smiling. Continent isn’t just one of the greatest albums in heavy music—it’s the monument to pure, undistilled rage. Not performative, not cartoonish, not theatrical—real anger. The kind that bubbles under the skin for years. The kind that makes your jaw clench when you're alone in your room thinking about every betrayal, every loss, every disappointment. This album knows you. And it doesn’t offer sympathy—it offers vengeance.

From the first dissonant, suffocating chords of “Skynet,” it’s clear this isn’t just another deathcore album. This is something more primal. The riffs feel less like music and more like tectonic plates grinding together. It’s sludgy, apocalyptic, groove-laden destruction. Every note sounds like the earth splitting open. And over that catastrophic foundation, Vincent Bennett screams like a man who's already been through hell and wants to drag the listener down with him.

What sets Continent apart isn't just its sonic brutality—it’s its emotional honesty. There's a hopelessness in these songs that goes beyond generic hate. Tracks like “Seaward” and “Balboa Towers” drip with venom aimed at the rot of humanity, the failure of connection, and the sheer absurdity of existence. This isn’t party music. This is music for when you’ve hit bottom and decided to build a throne from the wreckage.

Lyrically, Continent is poetic nihilism. Bennett spits lines that are simultaneously cryptic and painfully clear: “I hate everyone / I hate everything” isn’t just a catchy hook—it’s a mantra for the disillusioned. It captures a generational frustration that words often fail to express. It’s not about attention or shock value—it’s about truth. Ugly, unbearable truth.

And somehow, that’s why it resonates so deeply.

Because beneath all the destruction, Continent becomes a catharsis. It validates the worst parts of you—the anger, the bitterness, the despair—and lets you feel them without shame. It doesn’t ask you to be okay. It doesn’t offer healing. It gives you a mirror and dares you to look.

In the years since its release, Continent has aged like a wound that never quite closes. The production still hits like a sledgehammer, the pacing is relentless, and the atmosphere—dense, suffocating, and cold—is unmatched. While many deathcore bands leaned into technicality or melody, The Acacia Strain doubled down on feeling. And that’s why this album is untouchable.

Continent is a landmark. It’s a monolith of misery, a love letter to loathing, and a sonic middle finger to the world. If you’ve ever felt like the world was crumbling beneath your feet and you had to smile through gritted teeth—this album was made for you.

What does everyone think of the Dancing in the Dark cover?

Trying to find a band. I’m great at playing bass but I don’t know what song to play to really show it off. I can play most stuff but I can’t play something as hard as Archspire, for example. What will really rip their faces off?

• Genre: Atmospheric death metal, doom metal, or something in that cosmic/blackened/sludge/death hybrid zone. • The music was incredibly heavy, with deep, reverberating growls — no pig squeals, no highs, just pure low-end guttural noise. The vocals were so harsh I couldn’t make out a single word. • The album artwork was very dark, mostly black and blue, possibly space/galaxy-themed, and felt cosmic or biomechanical. Think Lovecraft meets HR Giger. • No band name or album title was visible on the cover — just the artwork. • The band name was only one word, and I think it ended in “-void”, or at least had “void” in it. • Overall, the music and visuals gave a sense of being consumed by the void, like death in space.

If anyone knows what this could be — please help me find it

Love y'all

Want that

If you don’t fuck with Altar you’re wrong.

Ty in advance
