The Acacia Strain - Best Albums Countdown

When one thinks about loved and cherished metal bands of the 2000s, you cant help to think of Killswitch Engage, or All that Remains, or As I Lay Dying, but does anyone ever think of The Acacia Strain? 

The band has been around for well over a decade now, and has gained huge cult following. I guess you can consider The Acacia Strain, the Big Labowski of Metal, or the Starship Troopers of metal. The band has had their share of Okay albums, and amazing albums, and Im here to give you my countdown of Acacia Strain's best albums countdown. 

7: Coma Witch (2014) 

AS latest release is by far their worst, however, that does not make the album bad, as a matter of fact its a pretty interesting album. The lyrics are full of deep meanings and the band chose a more mature approach to their musical style, its just not the AS we know and love.



6: Death is Only Mortal

Lets face it, AS second most recent album is a far cry from their good stuff. The sound of the album sounds as though they were trying to find their niche.



5: The Dead Walk

The album that saw AS move from Hardcore, to a more death Metal and metalcore sound. 



4: ...And Life is very Long

One of AS classics and defiantly a must to listen to, however, not their best.




3: Continent

The album that got AS a ton of new fans and is considered a great AS classic, even if it was only released 8 years ago.

 

2: 3750

The most Hardcore of AS albums and their first unique sound that made me like them in the furst place. A must for any AS fan, or anyone of that matter.



1: Wormwood

My personal Favorite AS album. Each track has a unique sound and a funny track title. This really showcased AS sound. The album is definitely where the band should call home.   


So there you have it, Acacia Strain's best albums from worst to greatest. If you do not know this band yet (you most likely live under a rock) please check them out. If you ever get a chance to see them live, they put on amazing and intense shows.
