    This dude has more vocal clarity than 75% of dirty vocalists, from pop-punk through black metal and back again, I could hear every word the first time I heard a TAS song.

      i used to feel the same way about Molotov Solution. i don't really appreciate lyrics as much as most people do, mostly just because lyrics for this kind of music are trash, but i couldn't help noticing that they have a pretty heavy emphasis on politics. still didn't really listen to them, but it seemed like a respectable theme to lean on for lyrics. at some point i watched a video about Oceano recording Contagion and a couple of dudes from Molotov Soultion were there so the vocalist could do some guest vocals. turns out they're completely retarded lol

      Most blood shed is not from religion. Religious wars only account for 4% of all wars. The rest are from wanting land and resources. Also, the animal kingdom does this. Ever watch Nat Geo? Animals tear each other to pieces all the time. And not always for food. Sometimes for territory or just for sport. Humans are special in a sense that we actually call out injustice unlike animals. I don’t get the whole acting like humanity is a disease trend. Animals don’t make animal shelters and care about preservation. Humans do. Although I think The Acacia Strains lyrics are garbage and contradictory, I love their music.lol.
