**PAY ATTENTION TO THIS**

The ONLY quality I could find after 2 HOURS of searching was 198kbps.

It's not the best, but it will still make a DAMN GOOD CD

Now, as far as my opinions on the album...

I've only listened to the first two songs so far, but from what I've heard, I fucking love it. I've seen so many people bitching on Facebook, Youtube, etc about how they wish TAS would go back to how they sounded on "The Dead Walk". Well, after only hearing two songs from this album, I believe those whiners will be quite pleased.

Simply put, this album is HEAVY AS FUCK!

Plus, "Doomblade" starts off with a sample of the 911 call the possessed woman made in The Devil Inside.

While I haven't listened to the whole album yet, I'm going to go ahead and give it a 9/10. And I firmly believe that is a fair rating. Hell, I'd give it a 10 if the quality was better. Anway. ENJOY!

And I do believe D.L. basically gave anyone permission to download the album if they wanted to...here's why I say that..

         

EMMURE - "Slave to the Game" (2012)

I know, I know. The album has been out for a few weeks already, but I had my own leak that I posted after snagging one before it got removed and I kept it a secret unless you messaged me on YouTube. BUT, it's here if you want it!

The Acacia Strain's New Single, "Servant in the Place of Truth" (video included)

So I get on Facebook early this morning and I come across a post from The Acacia Strain talking about a new single they released on iTunes. At first, like most TAS fans I'm sure, I was like "OMFG/HOLY SHIT/FUCK YEAH!! But, having been let down by different releases from different bands over the years, I decided to give the song a listen BEFORE immediately throwing down $.99 for it. on ITUNES of ALL places...(I know, it's only 99 cents, but I have to REALLY want something to buy it from iTunes) Here are my opinions on "Servant in the Place of Truth":
-Heavy as SHIT (+)
-Vincent breaks away from his usual consistent low vocal patterns (+)
-Same slower-paced chugs and rhythms as most of Wormwood's material (-)
-The slower rhythms still carry a smooth groove (+)
-Vince is as hateful as always (+)

Listen for yourself if you haven't already done so:

{OVERALL SCORE} - on a scale of 0-10

7.5/10
While it's still TAS, and it's still HEAVY as balls, the slow, repetitive parts get boring rather quickly. I was hoping for a little more with this track, but it still carries a nice groove so I like it nonetheless.
