    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.

    We are the wolves who starve close to dying
    Clinging to life for our actions to kill
    Prey on the weak and we listen for crying
    This is the closest we can bring you to hell
    We are the wolves who dress as the sheep
    Never resting and refusing to sleep
    Leave no survivors we devour the dead
    Scream all you can while we rip you to shreds
    While we rip you to shreds
    Rip you to shreds
    Rip you to shreds
    We destroy the things that make the world go round
    We are the reason there is blood on the ground
    (x4)
    Oh my God
    (x8)
    We destroy the things that make the world go round
    We are the reason there is blood on the ground
    We destroy the things that make the world go round
    We are the reason there is blood on the ground
    You'll survive but you won't want to
    Oh you'll live but you won't want to
    You shouldn't be outside in your condition
    She shouldn't be walking in her condition
    You'll survive but you won't want to
    Oh you'll live but you won't want to
    You shouldn't be outside in your condition

    We destroy the things that make the world go round
    We are the reason there is blood on the ground
    We destroy the things that make the world go round
    We are the reason there is blood on the ground
    I have stolen innocence of humanity
    I can't forgive myself for the things that I've done
    I don't feel the least bit bad
    I won't apologize
    I'm not fucking sorry
