Musical style [ edit ]
The Acacia Strain's music has been primarily described as deathcore [2] [3] metalcore ,[4] sludge ,[5] doom metal [5] [6] [7] death metal [8] punk rock -style aesthetic and sensibilities.[9]
AllMusic characterizes the band's musical style as "utiliz[ing] a bone-crushing rhythm section , apocalyptic samples , and a unique triple-guitar assault to deliver their signature blend of hardcore punk , noise , death metal and doom metal."[5] Wormwood Sepultura and Pantera ."[10]
Vocalist Vincent Bennett and drummer Kevin Boutot have both denied that The Acacia Strain is of the "deathcore genre", going as far as expressing dislike for the label,[11] [12] [13]
The Acacia Strain's influences include Candiria , Integrity , Dismember , Deftones , Rush , Iron Maiden , Crowbar , Meshuggah , Hatebreed , Slayer , Arch Enemy , and Overcast .[14] [12] [15]
Written by lead vocalist Vincent Bennett, the band's lyrics generally center around misanthropy [16] nihilism .[17] misogynistic and sexually deviant imagery in his lyrics, but usually only as metaphors to help get his points across while keeping the songs' overall meanings open for interpretation.[16] [17] [18]
