this 53 yr old woman is loving this song
This 14 year old kid is loving it as well
+Dylan Depaula fuck both of you
This 53 years old woman is bridging the generation gap.
Nate Watts what's with all the negativity jeez guys. the metal community is supposed to be nice to one another, not go at each others throats like wolves.
Tracy Nelissen this 20 year old guy is loving milfs
How is this 7 years old 😭😭😭 I still think of this as "that new btbam album" 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
And here goes my 20th replay of this song. I can't friggin get enough.
Troll.
Todd Wyant Trollop
The new Chemical Brothers song is better. 8-o
Wesley Shark Right there with you. I can't stop.
Wesley Shark I'm with you bro, this is amazing.
Who cares if it's metal or not, are you listening to the music? It's fucking great.
***** No, anybody who doesn't call this metal are just disillusioned with the thought that for something to be metal it has to be BROOTAL and heavy as balls, completely forgetting that this is what metal sounded like back when it first became a thing... Except production was shit back then.
Agustin Torres "anybody who doesn't call this metal are just disillusioned with the thought that for something to be metal it has to be BROOTAL and heavy as balls"
Not necesarily... I could say that BTBAM is not metal because of their lack of Metal riffs (half of their songs are not very Metal-ish in their riffing, with just random doodles that come from a more Hardcore background). Some of those non-Metal sounding riffs are fuckin' br00tal, but again, brutality or heaviness has nothing to do with a band being metal or not. Enforcer is not brutal nor very heavy, but man, it is an undoubtly 100% metal band (like it or not).
Finally, I think that BTBAM IS a Metal band, because I think that their Metal sounding material outweighs everything else, including their new release.
***** That's friggin' difficult, but I could, It would take a lot of time and I don't want to write that much now. At the end it all comes down to opinion to what's a metal riff, but there are general guidelines, like the fact that metal riffs are far from being pentatonic in nature, because otherwise they would sound like hard rock riffs, guidelines like that.
My point was that a "metal riff" is ten times more valid than 'brutality' or 'heaviness' in considering what's metal or not.
Some grindcore is heavy and brutal as nuts, but sounds like Hardcore Punk downtuned being played really fast with blastbeats and shrieking, not metal... get it?
***** It's ok to disagree.
I think they have non metal riffs specially in their early material, which was more -core inclined than anything else. For me, their first Prog Metal record would be Colors, even though Alaska is cool and, but it comes off as a prog-ish "metalCORE" record more than an actual Prog Metal record to me,
Again, opinions.
I would say that King Crimson's Red or some of Rush's 70s material are more or less the first Prog Metal songs.
Only low IQ caveboys say things like that and then go rub one out to Slayer album covers
The thing that impresses me most of all about these new BTBAM songs is the quality of production. Probably the best mix from any band that I've heard in years.
Yes! The mixing is mind blowing.
KyleJPie10 Jamie King has come a long way from his parents' basement.
KyleJPie10 Have you heard Leprous? Their records are mastered well and their latest album is almost perfect in production
We just recorded with jamie king and we agree that his production is one of the cleanest! Check out the music video for it on our page!
KyleJPie10 yup, that snare sound tho'
Don't know why it took me ~8 years to finally give this band a listening, but I'm so glad I did. That guy's vocal range is amazing and his gutturals combined with his diction are pretty unique - a bit of a rarity nowadays - 10/10.
Very Mike Patton inspired and that's NEVER a bad thing.
It took you that long because their earlier stuff is pretty....how do I wanna put this......abrasive, and hard to swallow.
@@BonyHawksToeSkater That wasn't why at all. This was literally the first song I heard by them
lol wow your missed alot. there alot of crazy albums to catch up on and be mind blown everytime
@@joshx555 You do realize this comment was made 6 years ago, right?
I've always loved the prog side of BTBAM more than the metal side. Can't wait for this album. No pity for the close minded Bro-dudes out there who say this isn't heavy enough. You won't be missed.
y2kbug77 This is metal as fuck dude.
+y2kbug77 I don't agree with your first sentence. They're still amazing though. I shall be there for the tour.... again (C:
Directing, editing, effects, acting, photography, story, 11/10.
Couldn't agree more, except that I'd give it a 12/10.
Solid 3/3
Byobrulez Strong 5/6 to a light 6/6
Outrun The Sunlight
Yeah I'd give it about a 15.5/16
Wesley Shark I agree with everything but acting could have actually been better, in my opinion.
Still an amazing song and video, tough. :D
You teach us White walls?
its probably "what was" but im still hearing it
GetScaredGaming we all hear it.
This video just COMPLETELY blew my mind. They do literally everything right. Bravo!
GetScaredGaming I heard what it was
GetScaredGaming They posted the lyrics, just head on to their Fb page!
Jeremy Sanchez Wow. Overreact much? He's clearly a BTBAM fan and was making a fun little joke. Your pessimism is not welcome here.
You teach us what was.
You teach us what was out there.
You teach us what was.
You teach us what was out there.
Lift our limbs to focus.
We soon drift through the night.
The getaway… we drought the cloud of life.
A quick escape to velvet.
Start to drift in slumber. Smoke fills the velvet room.
No more options to cope. A glimpse of the hanging rope.
Madness embrace the vault. Cannot wait any longer.
A string of lights blink… mesmerize my senses. A pulse that keeps me together for one last time.
No more options to cope. A glimpse of the hanging rope.
Madness embrace the vault. Cannot wait any longer.

Lift our limbs to focus.
We soon drift through the night.
You teach us what was.
You teach us what was out there.
You teach us what was.
You teach us what was out there.
Travel through a string of tears. Screams crash down like waves… flushing my mind of a new world. (Afraid to open my eyes)
Climb the hill of the wrist… enter oblivion.
Oblivion.
Foreshadow the Shadow:
My last exhale…
Knees crash down on…
Now rewind.
You teach us what was.
You teach us what was out there.
You teach us what was.
You teach us what was out there.
What once was…
Anything wrong?
Good job, you can copy and paste
Reese Burns excuse me?
Agustin Torres Screw that guy and his unnecessarily condescending crap. Thanks for posting the lyrics in the most convenient place for me to find them!
Reese Burns Fuckhead award of the year goes to
Agustin Torres Lift a lens to focus?
I love BTBAM. Favorite Metal band of all time. Hands. Down.
Best metal band ever, no debate. Tommy and Dustie are excellent but Dan, Paul and Blake are fucking phenomenal
I have been looking for this song and band for 5 years and have finally found it ❤️😭
Album number seven for Between The Buried And Me sees them take a more organic approach, instead of throwing the kitchen sink at a recording studio - an approach that has done well by them. The new sound points towards the musical magniloquence of Dream Theater whilst maintaining their metallic core.
Far more than just a collection of songs Coma Ecliptic is an ever-evolving musical tapestry filled with lush soundscapes and dizzying complexity. Beginning with the grandoise leads of Node and ending in drenching blastbeats and crescendos of Floyd-esque melancholy. Yet again BTBAM have delivered a piece of work that has to be applauded for its sheer ambition and singularity but also cherished for its ability to astound.
If you're not a music writer already that'd be dumb lmao you got the sauce
Magniloquence: Excessive use of high-flown language.
Hey, just like your comment lol
Who you tryna impress?
BTBAM are more prog rock now than metal. And i'm totally fine with it.
empire The Harsh's are there just not as pronounced, I agree somewhat with you. There still is a metallic element to their music
empire I agree. I always saw them more as prog rock.
We've had 6 albums of mostly harsh vocals in 11 minute songs, it was time for a change. 6 albums of masterpieces, but it's time for a new species.
empire who knows
empire I wouldn't say they're prog rock now, as much as going from Prog-Death Metal to just straight up Prog Metal. It was slowly coming, but it's not such a drastic change like some bands do. I still feel there may be a song or two with more harsh vocals than cleans. I'm happy for the change, because i prefer Tommy's clean vocals to his harsh now, though his harsh vocals on their first album were god-tier.
Dustie is one of my dad's old friends so i decided to check out his bands. absolutely love this.
I never wanted it to end.
New song!!! All hail the true kings of metal.
#btbam
Wesley Shark You mean to say pop music?
this is nowhere near pop? What the fuck lololol
David Hoffman Fuck off
Tristen Coomer Sorry, I don't know who these guys are. I just stumbled here after I was listening to a Katy Perry song, the auto-play feature.
David Hoffman not even close to pop music. This is metal, perfected.
The vocal contrast between singing and growling is extreme, the music is very good. Overall a very talented band.
Memory Palace is fucking great, but this shit is beyond amazing!! this is gonna be easily one of the best albums of the year
Easily.
Plot twist: the remaining songs are actually ambient music with narration
Yes
Dillinger Spaceman As a Spaceman once said - "damn this shit is fucking great nigga "
Nick Buchanan you know me nigga
This is the most well done music video i've seen in a long fucking time.
Yeh
maybe the video, but the music is shit.
How is the music shit? It's amazing.
Trying a bit too hard in this track methinks with to many different sections that don't quite hang together. They sound like they're all technically proficient but sometimes (most times) less is more.
No More is More! Yngwie
6:27 Ah yes, Noose Bear. One of my favorite childhood toys as well.
This deserved more than it got
Memory Palace grew on me, but his one right here.... is awesome.
Progressive Inception Metal.
...With Technical Donnie Darko Death Metal.
A.J. Escartín Fuck ya... you just blew the minds of the "genre police"
Another reason amongst thousands why I love BTBAM... they radically defy genres which pisses off metal elitists and genre nazis everywhere!
***** But I mean, they are prog death metal.
They've always been and that's quite clear.
Found the genre nazi
*****
shut up.. You don't know a damn thing about music if you think you can label them whatever you want.
Between the Buried and Dream Theater
Al Pra I would so see that concert
They played a while ago together. It was pretty amazing.
DT with mucchhh muchh better vocal, and that’s amazing
more like haken tbh (if we get nitpicky)
This era is like a mix of Dream Theater and American Head Charge.
How does this still not have over a million views! BTBAM FOR LIFE!
+Original Beard Not a lot of people can get into them/it due to short attention span or lack of musical understanding. I can tell the lead singer is heavily influenced by queen; but ask a person likes queen to listen to this band and they would be lost in seconds.
+danielxdoom it's funny because it's between the buried and me's fault that I can't get in to other music as much as I get in to theirs
Huh? The reason I love this music is because I have short attention span.
James Unruh You didn't read what I said. You just made that up.
"not a lot of people can get into them/it due to short attention span"
You claimed that a short attention span can make it difficult to listen to this. I claimed that my short attention span makes it easier. How did I not read what you said?
Show of hands, everyone. Who else has listened to Haken?
+aragorn767 Of course!
One of my favorites, they are.
Are they similar to BTBAM
+Dylan Suriyaarachchi Yeah, if you like BTBAM, there's a strong chance you'll enjoy them. Try the album "Visions."
+jefeltner11
Thanks, I'll reply to tell all you what I think
So far this album is filled with parts of BTBAM that I love the most. both of these songs are full of those riffs, vocals, solos, and moments where you cant help but smile. they are beautiful and amazing. this album will be on repeat for the next year.
BTBAM has an uncanny ability to sound more like themselves with each new album. I don't know how they do it.
If Blake doesn't get more exposure from his drumming on this song. I'm gonna lose my shit.
I told him during a meet and greet that he is so underrated and he responds with "I know" hahahaah it's so true! He doesn't get enough credit.
Or all their songs. Lol. Everything from colors to parallax two is insane. Coma and automata are also incredible
...And Alaska
So glad to see supportive fans. Going from screaming to singing, you'd expect a lot of backlash. Just shows that the fans are in it for the true quality and composition of the music rather than the quality or style of vocals. True fans of music, my respect for this band and their fan base have grown to the point of no return.... Guess I'll have to buy all their albums from now on. You guys have earned it, this is real music.
My God...perfect. Video, audio, modes, rhythm, panning, EQ, balance. Artistry, CGI, acting. NICE M8!
One of the most talented bands in Heavy music. They never disappoint. Such a wide range of styles. Great song. BTBAM for life.
Tosin Abasi couldnt have said it better. ANYTHING goes in Progressive metal.
Damn that whole song was badass but that ending? Are you serious?! Pure gold.
+Jason Murillo If you think that ending is good, listen to the last song on the album, "Life In Velvet" truly the most insane ending to any album I've ever heard.
It's truly beautiful
these guys never fail to surprise me. Truly amazing band.
Tommy's vocals on this album sound great. They fit perfectly with the music. That's one of the biggest things with this album. Not that they didn't before, but they do now more than ever here on coma ecliptic.
One problem with this.....it ended. Brilliant as always!
I listened to this song for the first time when it had come out. I wasn't sure about it because I didn't like their older stuff but I gave it a chance.
I've never regretted it.
It's like a little movie with awesome music perfectly synchronized.
All hail the masters. Thanks tommy paul dan dusty blake for the nonstop eargasm. You guys have been my favorite since alaska all I listen to for over a decade keep it up night owls.
You know, I love BTBAM and they have been my favorite band for years. However, I have to admit this isn't my favorite sound they've had, since they always seem to sound different every new album. That being said, this video is incredibly well done, and the good thing about music is that their old material doesn't go out of existence once the new material comes out. I will say that my favorite part about this album is that I can introduce people to BTBAM without them automatically being turned off by the sound of screaming.
Rellek for me this song ends as soon a he starts screaming. Screaming vocals are my cup of tea, he's just so bad at it. Its so dry and weak sounding
In a weird way this reminds me of muse
hahaha but muse from at least 10 years ago I think
+Thraitor They started about 10 years ago but still going strong.
+Robin Ferris they started almost 22 years ago
It's the piano doing that chord progression. I'm a little rusty on my Muse, but I think it's United States of Eurasia that has the bit I'm thinking of. The rest of this album has a lot of Muse influence too, but just in feel.
+zOMGREI the progression is I-I+-vi-I+I
So simple, but so beutiful
I slept on this album soooo hard, but am I ever glad I woke up and listened to it. God damn, I'm in love!
With all of my heart I hope that Oklahoma City and really the whole state will show up to give you the welcome that you deserve when you come here. I know that they won't and that sucks. But know that your real fans in this place love every minute of all the art that you've created and we'll continue you to praise you in what ways that we can
Say what you will but so far I am really liking this even more than their older songs
Sam K That's a bold statement but I can see why you would think so especially if this style of prog metal is more you're thing. I do agree that I enjoy this more than their first 2-3 records but Parallax 1 and 2 to me were just fucking brilliant. They were beautiful blends of what was and what has become of this band and it just blew me away. People always obsess over Colors and I can see why but me personally I've enjoyed their last 3 releases much more.
I thought parts of TGM and Parallax I were great, but a lot of it was just meh, I don't know if I would personally rank them above Colors. Parallax II however, is probably their best release to date, unless this surpasses it.
Sam K I think it will. The first two songs alone have me drooling and foaming at the mouth like a rabid wolf lol. Again as for Colors I rank Alaska above that record so that shows you how I feel about that album personally.
Sam K Crap I don't remember saying this.
Sam Keith lol
love the presence of the piano!
I like this, and will totally dig on wherever direction this band heading. Been a fan of them since The Silent Circus came out back in 2002, and they have yet to disappoint me.
Just saw these guys perform and they killed it with this song. This band will never disappoint me. Colors will always be my favorite album but their more progressive sound has always been my favorite aspect of theirs. I hope they continue to explore this side of their music.
It sounds like Dream Theater, but if Dream Theater didn't show off constantly.
And if Dream Theater had a good vocalist
@@SuperYertleTurtle NOw you're just talking shit
@@SuperYertleTurtle yeah I was never a fan of dream theaters singer.
@@Kuntitled James LaBrie can sing on pitch. That's about where his skillset ends. He's the reason I can't really get into DT.
The struggle of eating cereal out of a pot.
the struggle of running ou of pots to eat cereal out of, and having to use a plate
Ive missed BTBAM so much they always make excellent music can't wait for the new album!
I'm changing my mind about this band. It's all good. Opeth, Haken, Igorrr, Jinjer, Native Construct, Leprous, Plini, Spiritbox... The list never ends!
I dig the song! I don't know why, but I'm getting some totally kickass Faith No More vibes from this!!
Definitely, I get that also. Thought it was jus me hearing that. It is not a bad thing tho, that's one of the best influences to have, and the realy pull it off. I like it
On their cover album they covered a faith no more song.
***** Dunno if Faith No More, or just Patton. You know, that guy is taking a shit and what you get: a perfect symphony
IDK if they still have it, but the singers keyboard has a Mr Bungle sticker on it. So they're definitely Patton influenced.
Gave me chills.. Also gave the other comatose me chills!
Nice to see BTBAM has found their perfect balance of drugs
i love that mix of the aggressive metal with simple piano notes holy crap this song is amazing
reminds me of the fact that i'm a spiritual being trapped in a human body
Sounds like a heavy metal E.L.O.
One of their best songs.
Amazing song. They never cease to amaze me. Upon scrolling down the comments and reading some of the typical arguments you'd find on any song from an artist that has changed direction, I've noticed something. The people praising this music tend to have better spelling, grammar, and valid points than the people passing negative judgement on the song after a half of a listen. It's so one sided when comparing the comments. Some of the trolls on this video seem to be clearly lacking education. My guess is that the majority of the people that dislike this song probably can't decipher it.
I'm embarrassed it took me so long to give you guys a chance. I guess your name suggests more generic cookie-cutter hard/death metal vibes than what ur actually doing. I'm so happy I came around. :) Thanks and keep it up!
mosh at 4:45 is so dope
This and Memory Palace were both great... I cant wait to see them live again when the album comes out!
never got around to listening to btbam before (although i have listened to tommy's solo stuff), and so far, out of the 2 songs i have heard so far (this and memory palace) i have been blown away.
1st chord scared the shit outta me
3:38 is so great. Reminds me of Bicycle Race by Queen.
BTBAM are the QUEEN of Metal.
I don't know about yall, but I'm ready for another one. I wish there was a new one every year lol. in the 14 years I've been listening to them (now I feel old), I've never been dissapointed. I think I've only seen Paul miss 2 notes in the 6 shows I've seen them. Flawless live!
6:39 watch your head lol ahahaha
necromirtoman Said the same thing when I first watched this video. :P
necromirtoman Yea, I love it. It adds to the chaos of it all and feels way more real, rather than choreographed and acted out.
Braeden Laverty still I believe that was not on purpose ahahahah
necromirtoman Oh, for sure, but I am just glad they didn't reshoot the scene. Thats a good directorial decision.
Ah...I miss Mr. Bungle
I feel you dude
Lol at all the 'elitists', thinking that their subjective opinions are objective facts. Thank you, BTBAM, for this album... More importantly, thank you for ridding your fanbase of egocentric music snobs who think this album isn't metal. May it leave room for the more loyal, less-ignorant fans to enjoy.
Luke Mckenzie Just sat down and listened to the album all the way through...this is definitely going in my "fuck everyone, this is interesting" pile right next to The Mars Volta.
There are a lot of "metalheads" that just want variations on the same LOUDEST FASTEST HEAVIEST SHIT and it just goes to show how many people are plebs. I see it in newer Meshuggah videos, I see it in newer Mastodon videos, etc. where lil mettul cunts throw a shitfit because they're not making exactly the same music they were 15 years ago...guess what, Meshuggah already made Nothing and Destroy Erase Improve and I, just like Mastodon already made Leviathan and Blood Mountain...don't like the new stuff? Good, get the fuck out. I don't want to be associated with morons.
Well said, my friend!
The whole album is so perfect and beautiful!!! Can't stop listening to it)
4:23 Can it get any better than this?
Can someone explain what the song is about or at least the video? I'm great with music but absolutely suck at interpreting what lyrics or a video mean lol
According to the Wikipedia page for the album:
"The band has stated that the concept of Coma Ecliptic involves a
man stuck in a coma, journeying through his past lives. It was added
that the man faces a choice to either stay or move on to something
better."
Perhaps this video, even though it's an early track on the album, demonstrates that choice he makes; killing the weird sack-hooded being, and then (I think) turning off his life support at the end of the video.
....I.. Am...Speechless...
Ive been discorvering so many amazing bands lately! Its been so fun! Just discovered this band, tesseract, the contortionist, the faceless. All of it is amazing!
Blake Richardson
3:25 reminds me of Haken.
***** and Devin Townsend!
***** are all BtBaM albums like this? I thought it was a deathcore band ¯\_(.__.)_/¯
Moses M. Listen to Alaska.
BTBAM "deathcore band" what a blasphemy!
Fun they are on your with them right now
Listening to the production on this track is like biting into a really awesome cookie. It's so organic sounding and it's just straight up pleasing to listen to. Of course it takes some solid writing, but it all works together so well.
Barely even paying attention to the song itself . I love it when music videos are done to look like it was all in one take, although almost every cut was pretty obvious, this is still so awesome!
sounds like dream theater
If Pink Floyd made metal... ahah
Sounds like after however many years BTBAM is still enjoying making music, and I'm still enjoying listening! and watching!!!
The cinematography is as amazing as the music. I fuckin love this video. and BTBAM. And prog.
Who eats cheerios out of a pot?
KriegReptileMaster there's are better way?
I want to really like this but I can't :(
Sucks for your broseph!!!
David Scates Lol it really does, It's growing on me a bit though
kevstew26 Same here, man.
This song and video are amazing, cant wait to listen to the rest of the album!
Thanks BTBAM and contributors. This is pure art and just what I needed.
Ghost - Cirice
It does sound like it! Wtf XD Coincidence?
And by chance the singles were released almost at the same time xD but yes it sounds pretty similar, almost a Rip off.
WTF (his brain explode)
Is there any particular reason why, out of all the things you could have said about this great song, you mentioned a similarity, in some parts, to another song to try and cheapen it? Fuck you, man. I mean really.
Michael Davis WOOOWW let's take it easy, It's a great song and a masterpiece, I'm trying to play this on my guitar right now, it's just sounds like Ghost.
what part i dont see it?
I'm sure BTBAM fans will love this and their new album like it's their newborn child and hate on me for what I'm about to say, but I've kinda been disappointed with their ever increasing propensity toward the oddly progressive. I've always been aware of them but didn't start listening until shortly before Colors, however Alaska is what turned me on to them. I loved Colors as it seemed like a natural progression from Alaska in terms of heaviness, melody, weirdness, and song writing. Great Misdirect is where I get disappointed with their further journey into being progressive more than heavy. I can't fault them for that, but I've always felt Colors had the perfect balance of metal heaviness, hardcore beginnings, and balanced progressive melodies.
I can't say I've been disappointed by their other CD's, but I couldn't agree more that Colors has the best balance. Sure, they've progressed in some areas since that CD, but it just went so many more places than anything else they've done
Matthew McClure
Yeah, I should have made clear in my original comment that I still like them, it's just hard to listen to their cds from Great Misdirect on because of their inherent progressive nature. I like progressive metal, I'm not a huge fan but I'll spin some records from time to time. What I loved about Colors and their past work is that almost each song stands on its own. After great misdirect, emphasis has been put on the progressive nature molding and crafting the whole album into basically one long song rather than a separate parts. I get what what they're doing and that's fine, but when I listen to GMD and on, I feel like I have to listen to the whole cd in sequential order. Colors I can basically start from any point.
***** You understand that musically speaking, Colors is a concept album as well? It was meant to seem like one solid piece of music, instead of 8 separate tracks. Every album since has been made the same way, but the concept of each is just more complex. The last 3 releases from them produced some of my all time favorites from them (Fossil Genera, Lay Your Ghosts to Rest, Lunar Wilderness, Astral Body, Extremophile Elite, Disease, Injury, Madness) and I have zero problem listening to them out of context. I'd put all of those songs over just about any song from Colors (except White Walls because, fuck.. It's White Walls). These 2 new songs are great as well, especially this one. The thing I like the most about post-colors BTBAM is that they've gotten a lot better at writing/composing. All the transitions are smoother, it's a lot more coherent. Colors was a bit messy and all over the place, which made it great at the same time, they've just done a bit of maturing.
But.. Music is subjective and yada, yada, so it's just my opinion obviously and nobody has to agree with me.
Marc Dunn
And that's great for that band, I don't listen to their music at all, but I can't help how I feel about BTBAM's music. If I don't particularly like it as much as their other stuff, I just don't. That's it
***** that's alright. I'm sorry you haven't enjoyed their later releases as much. That tends to happen as band progress and change their sound. Some bands I liked years ago have turned to shit in my opinion, and some have gotten even better. I think btbam have vastly improved. Although they have lost some of their heaviness and wild energy, they have become better song writers. Most importantly though, they are for sure making the music they love. Ain't nobody telling btbam what to write. And that makes me happy. Luckily, I love the same stuff they love. You don't, and now I'm done stating the obvious.
I'm getting a super Queen vibe from this, the bits where most of the instruments drop out besides some piano and the singer and a lot of the guitar lines towards the middle are very Queen-y
Holy shit I just realized this video is supposed to be one continuous shot. I can't wait to see these guys in less than a day.
Mmmm... Prog...
Where is all the awesome riffing?
5:10 onwards sounds like Dream Theater, which is cool cause I like Dream Theater
But the majority is just lead work over chugging
Where is all the EPIC screaming
there is a total of 20 seconds screaming in this song!! Bullshit
The drums are very uninspired there is no speed or intensity. Seriously listen to this song then go listen to Backwards Marathon and then cry
TriviumAnterior Who cares. If you want BTBAM to be a metalcore band go listen to their self-titled or TSC. All of you guys that are seemingly surprised by the direction they've been heading in must have never been fans at all. After the major line-up change they had this was the ULTIMATE direction they were heading in, they weren't ever going anywhere else.
As for the drums being uninspired, are you serious? So speed and intensity are the only things that add up to being inspiring? This is one of the best performances I've ever heard from Blake. Is he supposed to be blasting his whole way through every song and laying down quads for every fill? His playing in this is so tasty I could fucking eat it.
Go listen to Trivium or Anterior, as your name suggests.They probably suit you better.
TriviumAnterior Is listening to a ton of technical death metal and thrash metal supposed to give me some indication of the "broad range" of music that you listen to? Because it absolutely does not.
BTBAM wasn't ever a "tech-death" band.. Do they sound like fucking Obscura or Psycroptic or some shit to you? Because those are actual technical death metal bands.
If you like shred, blast beats and screaming so much just go listen to some technical death metal bands. You can leave this uninspired nonsense to the rest of us.
And btw.. Did you even listen to Parallax II? It's not like that album had some of the heaviest, most crushing BTBAM moments or anything.
I'm also sorry for being such a fucking idiot.
Jacob Smith haha fair enough I should have handled it better.
Nahh it was just that I used to listen to a very small range but I listen to a lot more genres these days.
BTBAM do have technical death metal influences. Sure they are not as brutal as the ones you mentioned but they do have those characteristics. To be honest I have not listened to the full Parallax II album because, even though I enjoyed the few songs I listened to I do prefer their earlier albums. I should probably go back and give them a listen :)
TriviumAnterior For sure man. They definitely show some tech-death influence, they've just always been so much more than that.
You really should go back and give Parallax II a good listen. There are some genuinely awesome moments to be had.
Jacob Smith Will do :)
This song gets better and better each time I listen! And growl, sing, coo like a dove, Tommy Rogers has a great and dynamic voice.
My fav music vid ever oml its like a movie... and the drums r freaking awesome... everything is awesome about this vid and song
Okay, the song is brilliant but the video is just as brilliant. The director's work, the editing, and this guys acting! I don't know how this guy is not a main character in a prime time TV series. I don't know why he reminds me of GRIMM's Dave Guintolli but he seems as good as him. Look at his decision making! Man, BTBAM deserve WAY more credit for this video. It's a great short film, it's pure cinematography. And it doesn't even have 1 million views yet? What a shame. Yet, songs about fat butts have billions of views. How many people without any taste and/or criteria are there, ffs?
Wow. I haven't listened to BTBAM in years but they were one of the first heavy bands I ever listened to with The Silent Circus being my first exposure to this band. They have come a long way since then. Most bands from that era have broken up or don't make the same quality of music but these guys are still kicking it.
I've never seen so many different types of music fans all conversing decently on a CZcams video before. Talk about a crossroads of genres.
Best one take film/music video ever.
