Height:
The Acacia Strain picked up where the heaviness of the 90's left off and defined the style for the past ten years.
Weight:
This is the band's fifth full-length.
Significant Findings:
"Wormwood" most probably sets the best possible mood for violence and the destruction of humanity. You become engulfed with thoughts of dismantling everything that is beautiful in the most senseless fashion.
Possible Diagnosis:
Everything around us is constantly pulsating with information depending on our state of mind, while the frequency to which we are tuned enables us to witness those objects under a different light. If we are hungry and notice a knife nearby, we could conceivably start cutting and cooking. If we are angry, we may take that same knife and resolve a given situation that is at hand. Depending on our state, we seek the things that will help us achieve our goals. "Wormwood" will turn everything into a possible weapon, and every place a potential hiding spot for a body. Or a dark corner in which to wait for a victim. "Wormwood" will awake multiple frequencies in its listeners, but that's not all. It will likely revive extreme emotions such as the lust for violence, hunger for human flesh, the fascination with a stream of blood, a shriek, or seeing someone defenseless...and at my mercy. I become a creator. I am no longer a nobody. I am no longer the person that everyone overlooks. I am now the one that lives depend on. The power I now possess makes me an authority, and people look up to me. My victims, who on any other given day would not have noticed me, now realize that without me, their life would have been different. I exercise my power on them and it excites me, filling me with meaning and purpose. All of a sudden, I am no longer dirt. All of the sudden, I am the most important person in someone's universe. My gestures are now under the scrutiny of a microscope and are the only things that matter to the person kneeling in front of me. I will kill because it gives me pleasure to destroy. It excites me to be all powerful and in control.
Recommendation:
Macabre fantasies that were once in remission crawl to the forefront with "Wormwood."
