Between the Buried and Me - Astral Body (Reaction Video)

[@michaeldaneau2230]

I recommend listening to this whole album start to finish.

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

Yea, I think I might do that.

[@ReplicantSeven]

@@TheAdventuresofTNT This album is one long concept album, one song runs into another, it's one long journey. Definitely listen start to finish. It's like the Dark Side of the Moon of progressive death metal.

[@trowabarton222]

Watch the Live at the Fidelitorium version of this album. Its amazing.

[@TheChironium]

@@TheAdventuresofTNT Check out the Parallax Hypersleep dialogues first as that is part one of this journey, then listen to the Parralax future sequence. An epic journey awaits you!

[@dariotoker651]

It's good to see a channel where doesn't stop the video o music to speak, and feel the entire experience (like BTBAM) to a non-stop. And you got me, glad you like that song and continue in the adventure of BTBAM!

[@alexandremarchand8815]

The album from witch this song come from is a concept album and each song flows into the next one. Between the Buried and Me is pretty well known in the prog metal scene. They are amazing musicians and the list of good songs by this band is pretty long. You might want to give a listen to: -Voice of Trespass -Swim to the Moon -Telos -Selkies: the Endless Obsession -The Coma Machine -Sun of Nothing Opeth, Rivers of Nihil and then BtBAM ? You really are choosing the bands that I love theses days haha :) Thanks for the video !

[@justanotherdayinthelife9841]

Selkies, fuck, all of Alaska

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

These are all becoming my new favorite bands. My Patron kyle is really on point with his taste in music.

[@nicknickelknocker1189]

Also Viridian/White Walls. Really the whole Colors album. When that album dropped, (I had just learned of them 2 weeks earlier with Alaska-Selkies: The Endless Obsession, which piqued my interest) it completely shook my musical world. It was when I heard white walls that my (then) favorite band was replaced. I still love tool, but they can't hold a candle to BTBAM. Greatest. Band. Ever. New album already recorded and dropping this spring.

"I felt like I could go for about 30 more minutes of this track" Well I have some good news for you!

[@timothyb7371]

That's exactly what I thought lol.

[@jay_vero]

hahahahahhaha

[@StarsDie88]

Between the Buried and Me typically does concept albums, and this was off their 2012 concept album The Parallax. I was lucky enough to watch them perform that entire album from start to finish in 2013 and it was an insane experience. This band is kind of a big deal in the progressive metal scene. Definitely a lot of Dream Theater influence if you noticed. This was the first band that really expanded my mind to music in general way back in 2005 when I discovered them.

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

Dream Theater!!!! yes, I felt that dream theater influence in this song. I really tried to gather my thoughts because it hard to explain what I was feeling but this is a band that I could have a drink and zone out to. I think I might host a live session and explore their music.

[@tylerpd52]

@@TheAdventuresofTNT that is an excellent idea for a live session!

[@StarsDie88]

@@TheAdventuresofTNT Yeah that would be cool. Or possibly do a progressive death metal jam and mix in Between the Buried and Me with Rivers of Nihil and Death and stuff like that.

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

@@StarsDie88 you read my mind

[@lankeysob]

Absolutely would love to watch you dive into a whole album if theirs. Their discography starts fairly heavy with some prog influences and then delves heavy into Prog as they go on. Feel like they are a band with a little bit of something for everyone.

[@benzskyeshxc96]

one of the modern goat progressive metal.

[@Metal_Archaeologist]

One of my top 3 Prog/Death bands. Thanks Kyle! Cheers!

[@coreyadair5731]

Came across my feed and had to subscribe for a between the buried and me reaction

[@stromghouls]

you are the only one reacting to stuff like this. not many people enjoy this kind of music.

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

They are missing out because clearly, these guys know how to rock.

[@opethmike]

@@TheAdventuresofTNT I agree with Erik. I am a several decades long extreme metal fan, and after years of listening to people mock the genre, it is SUPER refreshing whenever I see someone giving it a fair chance and becoming a fan.

[@wesleyhitchcock4414]

Sit down and shut up dork

[@An0xymoron127]

Thanks for giving these guys the love they deserve!

[@axelthesot]

This was a grrrrreat reaction (Frosted Flakes approved). I absolutely concur with others that if you want that full journey you were yearning for: listen to the whole album. Great story telling with music.

[@vopy48]

...says he to the video, which has now around 1,5 Million views and it truly isn´t the only BtBAM´s song with video here in KZbin...and which is one the Longest time performing & genre setting/defining bands of technical metalcore with their near 10 in various metal mags praised albums out. OK. ;-)

[@Bucketbothead007]

Make sure you check out the video for 'Obfuscation.' It's actually a short film. The 'Blake Richardson recording Obfuscation' drum playthrough video is cool too. Blake is a beast! 'Silent Flight Parliament' is a badass song, 'Swim to the Moon' too.

[@ryanbennett1532]

OMG not having Lay Your Ghosts To Rest come directly after this is brutal.

[@MrMcFattyfat]

Such a great band. I've been listening to these guys for around 10 years now and I can confidently say they've redefined how i think about music. One thing to note is that their albums are very through-composed and tend to function more as one long body of music rather than a collection of individual tracks. Completely agree with what you said at the end as well, i can listen to a 90 minute album from start to finish without ever feeling bored, and no matter how many times i listen to an album i feel like i always discover something new each time. Great reaction, i hope you do more from these guys in the future.

[@justanotherdayinthelife9841]

Should also have done Between The Buried And Me's song Selkies, on the album Alaska. (You should really listen to the whole album.) And The Contortionist album Apparition, (the whole album really).

[@jerryotic298]

Yes!!! One of my all time favorite bands! I recommend Disease, Injury, Madness from them. Shoutout to Kyle for recommending it!

[@JM356]

BTBAM are also PROLIFIC. It seems their musical creativity is inexhaustible. This track is not unlike their many others. Love these guys.

[@pv2clifton]

Need to hear "Lay your ghosts to rest" its the next song after Astral body and it transitions into it very well

[@ryanbennett1532]

Gaaaaahhh it’s so expected to just come in directly after!

[@DarranKern]

I effing love this song

[@billypappas6811]

Awesome to see BTBAM on this channel! I watch your videos ( when you play good music ). I didn’t expect you to play this though! BTBAM is my favorite band. They literally got me into metal. I used to hate screaming in music. I didn’t even understand how anyone could like it. When I first listened to them, the instruments were so good I would just block out the screaming. Now I prefer the screaming with them. Especially live, it literally pumps you up. I get the chills when they start screaming, it’s so good. Once you start getting into them, the creativity and musicianship is on another level man. I seriously hope you give a few more songs a listen. I really don’t even care which ones. If you want to get put through a journey though! Silent Flight Parliament and Swim to the Moon are both 17 mins of amazingness!! You should try out NeObliviscaris. I’ve seen someone else request it. And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope. Great live video on KZbin! As Icicles fall = amazing Eyrie = super amazing I really hope you try some more non mainstream stuff! Maybe some Wintersun! Don’t get me wrong I love me some Megadeth. Just need to expand your horizon! Also I hope you try Primus again. Too Many Puppies is IMO their best song.

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

Thank you for these song recommendations and yes, I will be jumping into Primus again.

[@Whosagoodboi]

The Parallax II is a fantastic album. So many memorable moments on the album you’ll lose count. One of my favorite Progressive albums for sure! I completely understood what you meant when you said “organized chaos”

[@Terrorfyre]

I love ALL of BTBAM!!! ❤️

[@Penz0id]

Great react! BTBAM is my favourite band by far. I'll be sure to tune in again on the next one 🤘🏻

[@donchaffins1313]

These guys have had several side projects over the years, most notably Trioscapes and Glass Casket. You should check them out on your own time.

[@doranbacigalupi1059]

Love them! I highly recommend checking out the live video of Extremophile Elite. Also, I'd love for you to check out a band called Oranssi Pazuzu! They're one of my favorites lately. Uusi Teknokratia is a good starting point, or Saturaatio. They're a strange, psychedelic black metal band from Finland. Thanks for what you do!

[@duncansolloway2497]

was surprised to see how short this song was- usually this band has songs with epic play times

[@matsuka6]

i listen to BTBAM since 2003, and they make great progress every single album, you should chek out their "The Anatomy of.." album, it's a tribute album to many legendary bands (Metallica, Queen, Motley Crue, Pantera etc.)

[@tylerpd52]

Luckily for you, the song goes on for 74 minutes! Listen to the whole album for the journey, and the end is perfect

[@nickhaas9185]

Listening to this song and not the whole album is the musical equivalent of only eating the whipped cream on a piece of pumpkin pie To answer your question Selkies is the next song to check out.

[@Skackle]

"Got damn!" 👍Listen to more, u won't be disappointed...

I would love to see your reaction to Extremophile Elite by Between the Buried and Me

[@dreithen8693]

I love this band!

[@michaelkey9549]

BTBAM doesn't fit into the category of "bands people have never heard of." They're legends in the metal scene.

[@michaelkey9549]

Berklee grads, multi-instrumentalists, and endorsees all, if I'm not mistaken.

[@clashcor]

Welcome to the BTBAM rabbit hole, they reach out to so many genres and make it work, so much better than anyone else. Every album, every song has it's own feel, you need to do more. Should do whole album reacts if not at least react to the songs below... Viridian/White Walls Ants of the Sky Selkies: The Endless Obsession Telos(same album) Extremophile Elite(live)(from the same album, react to the whole live album you won't be sorry) Lunar Wilderness Swim to the Moon Just to name a few...

[@blaiselanham2842]

Just found your channel. Saw this and a dgd reaction. Immediately subscribed lol. Love it. Thank you for reacting to these bands. I recommend reacting to Protest the Hero of you haven’t already. Song: Bloodmeat or Blindfolds Aside.

[@Hatingmeisconforming]

More btbam please!

[@WheezingBobcat]

Hey, they just released an album called Colors II, which is absolutely incredible. Best since the album that this song came off of, and a followup to Colors from 2007. The amount of callbacks and tangential relationships between Colors I and II is insane. For and example, listen to the first 30 seconds of Decade of Statues, then the first 30 seconds of Double Helix of Extinction. I'm a composer, and this band is directly responsible for me taking music seriously (along with the Wu) almost 2 decades ago.

[@sethsebren9642]

The Wu and BTBAM. It feels like we already family. Where you from? Amarillo here.

[@ethangibbs3688]

BTBAM is one of my all time fav bands. If you really want to listen an album by them, 10000% definitely listen to the whole album Colors. That album is considered a classic in my book and basically in every other prog metal/BTBAM fans' book

[@MetalMonkey]

You told me to keep reminding you to react to Objector - My Mind Insane (Belgian thrash metal band)

[@duncansolloway2497]

have you done ne obliviscaris yet?

[@sicboi80]

Agreed with everyone else. Check out more from BTBAM, you won't be disappointed.

[@cjbrett89]

Do the entirety of Colors. You will not regret it!

[@negritud]

I guess this is the BEST ALBUM from BTBAM. I recommend listening to the album

[@zacharystemple5002]

literally every album by this band is a masterpiece to me and i'd recommend listening to their albums from start to finish, but a great song to react would Voice of Trespass. It may have one of the best metal grooves in existence. In modern the scene of prog BTBAM are easily one of the best and in my opinion Blake Richardson is the best drummer alive lol. Black Crown Initiate - Holy Silence The Ocean - Jurassic | Cretaceous These so far are my favorite prog songs of the year so far and I highly Recommend them as they are of the caliber of this song.

[@sentenced03]

i havent listened to them in years its crazy how much different they sound from mordecai.

[@sethsebren9642]

Totally. Plus only 2 members still remain from the silent circus, Paul and Tommy. They have been rebuilt to be superior... Which they are in every aspect, ESPECIALLY the bassist. Dan Briggs is an absolute god.
