Between the Buried and Me - Telos (PLAYTHROUGH)

[@Drugvision0]

There are enough riffs in this one song to make up for an entire album

[@88and6]

and a 20 year discography for Of Mice and Men.

[@Krimson5pride]

And entire career of slayer and ac/dc

[@destined2sleep]

FCK ACDC. Iron Maiden for life

[@destined2sleep]

BTBAM for afterlife

[@kbristow06]

I don't understand why this doesn't have a million views....This is innovation, technicality, and catchiness all bundled up into the highest form of art metal has seen in a while. That's not an opinion, that's fact. Most bands can't be innovative, without losing technicality and/or catchiness. Most bands can't be technical without losing innovation and/or catchiness. Most band's can't be catchy without losing tech and/or innovation. These guys do it all and flawlessly if i might add.

[@lukepenman8360]

Its like magic music. What classical must have felt like back in 1700-1830. Favorite band of 7 years.

[@zealobiron]

agreed! modern prog metal musicians are the true composers of this day and age.

[@palibakufun]

Blake has got to have the equivalent of perfect pitch for BPM, because that's a live recording of him and he is SPOT on.

[@Dieterbe]

he probably has a clicktrack in his in-ears. that said he is a phenomenal drummer. one of my faves.

[@palibakufun]

@@Dieterbe Yeah, much older me is aware of that now. But still, Blake is still probably my favorite drummer, and BTBAM is still one of my favorite bands of all time.

[@KytexEdits]

@@palibakufun Unless him hitting the china at 2:12 is supposed so sound like a hi hat, it's not a live recording, lol. Also you can tell all the nuances are *exactly* like the original track on the record, and there are several other spots where the audio and video don't match. To be clear I'm in no way dissing on Blake, my brain just can't comprehend how you'd think this is an actual live audio recording.

[@aaronvasquez823]

@@KytexEdits i think he meant its a live video recording of him. it's quite obviously not the live audio, i think we're all aware of that

[@palibakufun]

@@aaronvasquez823 This is in fact what I meant, indeed. I also can't believe this original comment is fuckin' 7 years old now lol. This is the song that originally got me into the REALLY heavy shit.

[@flagmuffin1221]

Still the most aggressive song I've listened to. Going from Black Box and launching into this is a kick to the guts, and the mid section "breakdown" is nuts. No other song conveys so much aggression and intent - part of me hopes it's entirely intentional because it's about the Night Owls and Prospect 2's ultimate decision to end humanity.

[@thefraktlite]

I AM SOOO READY FOR BLOOOOOMM!!

[@sethskinner]

Get down here and sing the songs we sing. In bloom we come. Tentacles swing with the waters breeze. In bloom we...

[@ulookpregnant47]

just watched these guys KILL it last night @ Empire in Springfield, VA! It was the first day of their tour with The Kindred, Intronaut, and Deafheaven and could not have been any better! # StayMetal

[@kriskenard]

Ben Rockwood - EDP GANG~ OTC Ho~

[@00DemonicAngel00]

9:07 - 9:25 I can not describe how perfect that part is.

[@c95060]

it's just diminished appergios over a chaotic drumming

[@TelekineticCheez]

7:34 When this rift hits it gives me goosebumps Everytime

[@anubs1786]

Sonic boom! 🤘

[@apeman939]

The snare tone is wicked, as is the entire drum composition and performance. Blake is a fucking force, as usual

[@lollipophugo]

The fact that blake's live performance sits perfectly in time with the album is a testament to how awesome this band is live. even if it's to a click live it's fucking brilliant. I'm drunk and depressed because this band is so much better than anything I'll ever achieve.

[@cameronwansley9049]

I wanna take a time machine back to the formative days of underground African American Jazz, thrust a few of the heaviest hitters forward in time to watch this video & then ask them what their opinion is of the modern music that was inspired by what they started nearly a century ago. The natural assumption is that they'd go "what is this demonic noise?", but if there's one thing I know in my short lifetime, it's that Anime, Jazz & Metal have one of the tightest venn-diagrams of shared interests, so I feel like they'd totally "get it" whereas their ancient contemporaries would run away screaming. Imagine Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock & the rest of the crew nodding their heads along in time subdividing the different rhythms whilst taking mental notes of which melodic structures they wanted to experiment with when they got home; It would be majestic.

[@mindgameblader4life]

i listened to these guys a little here and there.. but i just fell in love with there drummer, KICK ASS!

[@crypticlawd]

can't stop looking at that Dan's bass, even though i'm a guitar player...

[@FFJabarr]

The absolute amazing part on Richardson's behalf is that even though he is doing a live performance, his drumming is absolutely on point with the studio recording. Often times tempo's change enough live to make it look off and he's not off beat at all.

[@Deuterium52]

Love the entire song, but the last 2 minutes are absolute gold

[@AlexHritz]

To everyone saying they suck, no they don't. And neither does BTBAM. My comment was mentioning the fact that even on the BTBAM channel, all of these videos are on there, as well as on this channel. And AILD didn't have that. Neither did a majority of the other bands on the label. I personally love both bands. Can't we all just get along and enjoy the Metal? \m/

[@mdd47]

watched the video, I'm totes ready to play it now. sure thing, should be a piece of cake

[@vergil385]

Yeh true, though would be hilarious from BTBAM's part to see footage of inside their singer's throat, to see his vocal folds and all, as one person mentioned to me before xD

[@DEMONPLAGUE]

Excellent songwriting. Amazing band

[@subtogoosewaynebatman9263]

The vocalist reminds me of the Meshuggah vocalist. Which is badass of course

[@tylerjacobson8012]

Sub to Goose Wayne Batman meshuggah with melody.

[@brandmeow9014]

Music is phenomenal. Storytelling is beyond acceptable. Composure of all musicians making this masterpiece is criminal. BTBAM in a nutshell.

[@metalbladerecords]

As I Lay Dying has six studio videos over on their youtube channel - /asilaydying

[@Palavalve]

That one handed roll between the toms and bass at 9:45 was amazing. Out of nowhere.

[@Aldragor101]

LOVE that change at 2:24

[@Gabehs]

coisa linda! ♥

[@LS.Duser16]

Badass

[@alozuldo]

Awesome idea!! Love this song!

[@mattwildchild]

love this performance ! we want more :)

[@ImmortalSpammer]

I love BTBAM and I'm a progressive fan. This is some very good new age progressive. Extremely talented dudes.

[@Jamble187]

I feel like Tommy screaming into a camera wouldn't make for a very interesting performance video. However, if they got a videostroboscope and filmed Tommy's vocal folds, that would be awesome...and actually seems right up BTBAM's alley.

[@grizzgrot24]

Scroll the lyrics at the bottom and this is how I wanna watch and listen to every song from now on

[@AfterEveryGunshot1]

DO THE WHOLE ALBUM LIKE THIS!!!!

[@ChucksterOLove]

I already have my tickets to see BTBAM in March at the Waiting Room and I am PUMPED!!! I hope they play this song, if they do I will have a musicgasm and they'll probably throw me out for air fornicating with music.... :-)

[@backstreetrules]

hey thnx...awesome

[@palibakufun]

You're right, though. Him saying that is equivalent to someone saying, "George Orwell is not as good of an author as Eric Carle; that's why 1984 is 300 pages and The Hungry Caterpillar is 20." I estimated those page lengths, but yeah.

[@tombojombo]

Wow.

[@nightsallot]

Well their new album coming out on Tuesday is going to be a monster release so it makes sense.

[@maximumblue8394]

Love watching the finger play & Blake beat the skins all at once.

[@tteksarbttam]

Hot damn!

[@robs2579]

That ending 9:51 - 9:58 is so underrated

[@vergil385]

Awesome split video idea, but should also have included the vocalist's performance too, placed in the middle

[@mrahzzz]

Nah, they didn't HAVE to do anything - it's just a difference in their goal as musicians. Maybe someday in the future, AILD will make 72 min concept albums and BTBAM will go back to cd's with generally normal song lengths. I just hate to see their musicianship put down because of a difference in musical preference - it's cool if they're not your favorite, but don't put down their artistry and dedication because of that. And sorry - it's kind of stupid to respond to a 7 month old post.

[@MerciaMetal]

Ba bena na bena na lol effing sweet

[@Cosminen]

ofc it is. :)

[@Nubnut]

It could also be the fact that BTBAM appeals to a far larger crowd than simply the metalcore crowd of AILD. I know prog rock fans who love BTBAM, Death Metal fans who love BTBAM, Metalcore fans who love BTBAM etc. etc.

[@FFJabarr]

Still gotta pull it off :P, dude is mega talented.

[@sacredxgeometry]

Somebody called BTBAM Metalcore are you serious? Absolutely not. Anyways, every time I imagine trying to play this, I explode because I'll never be capable of such brilliance.

[@sacredxgeometry]

I'll call it Floydian metal.

[@jayess3337]

They started off being a progressive metalcore band up until The Great Misdirect. From then they steered more away from the "core" aspect like breakdowns in favour of a more prog/tech metal sound but to completely negate them as a metalcore band is stupid. For one, the "core" vocals are still obviously present.

[@godsu54n0]

Jay Ess It was never Metalcore... it's always been prog. Deathmetal... and they never even used "breakdowns". A breakdown implies some layman one-chord passage to get the audience jumping... BTBAM NEVER resorted to such pathetic and technically primitive things

[@joejohnson6793]

godsu54n0 dude btbam uses breakdowns but they are more technical breakdowns than say a shitty emmure breakdown

[@sacredxgeometry]

Don't ever *EVER* bring up Emmure in the some context as Between The Buried And Me again.

[@hilariousgas]

paul is my hero, and dusty ain't no slouch either

[@apachekid91]

thank you for stating this. it should be common knowledge

[@TheCzar93]

That's actually,like,an opinion dude. But it's one I agree with for the most part.

[@johnny2231]

lol, get'em, but i have a question. whats up with Braindrill?

[@halo2846x]

Must have been a nightmare to sync these 4 videos with the sound. good job! but i want more from other bands.

[@vergil385]

Depends on the person I suppose, awkwardness is only a case for the less insured and that tend to become more nervous.

[@PerpetualTrainWreck]

It's an "OMIT" shirt. It's pro-skateboarder Chris Cole's clothing company.

[@StephanAndreMusic]

I think the point is to SEE the way the instrumentation is carried out... I'm not sure you'd want or even understand camera footage of the interior of the singer's throat... Lol

[@Shipps941]

WHO DISLIKES THIS?!?!?!

[@superawesomegrapes]

does dusties shirt say dmt? i didnt think he didnt drugs. all i know is listening to btbam on them is fun lol

[@stringripper]

aaaaaaaaaaw yeeeeeeeeeeah :D

[@superawesomegrapes]

im glad someone else noticed that XD

[@cgalvaojr]

Esses guitas só podem morar juntos... Dormir juntos... Comer juntos... Cagar juntos... (tudo com a guitarra na mão, claro...)

[@infantfinite]

it says OMIT, i thought it said DMT at first too though haha

[@skilmer]

shredding like the IRS is outside

[@VOYAGEUR-YT]

So that weird synthy effect is bass?

[@sarsras]

are they back from hospital?

[@vergil385]

Not a bad idea actually, would be comedic and interesting all in one xD

[@vergil385]

True, but then again this video isn't really a tutorial either =P

[@vergil385]

Better than just that, they could of excluded the keyboard clips and placed in the vocals.

[@Cosminen]

Well, this is tutorial for me, dont need tabs, got ears and eyes :)

[@austindorf83]

Worm discussion!!!!!!

[@ChaboyAnthony]

Give the metronome some credit too! =p

[@erockerock238]

No. Sorry, mrahzzz had a more eloquent and responsible reply than me.

[@destined2sleep]

yes, he is undersea and later SpongeBob invited him over for a seaweed sandwich with Senator Tom to see how the morning went

[@PreyyR]

Dusties got a DMT shirt on. Breakthrough!

[@vergil385]

"performance demonstration" not "tutorial" let alone any guitar/drum tabs =P

[@ulilopez5823]

Gucci Gang

[@PerpetualTrainWreck]

What, screaming and playing two keyboard notes? Brilliant idea, Napoleon.

[@GiovanniMachadoAdvogado]

01:45 hits but no sounds xD

[@xLimitlesso]

Ever think it's because BTBAM is providing content while As I Lay Dying is doing nothing?

[@vergil385]

True, but it feels like the singer was forgotten xD

[@PreyyR]

DMT > OMIT

[@destined2sleep]

its a wicking shirt, it wicks sweat away from the skin, a lot of cyclists wear em

[@Cosminen]

But you dont need to see the vocalist mouth to learn to sing like him :)

[@vergil385]

whatever brah =]

[@jakenastysnake]

7 Justin Bieber fans....

[@jakenastysnake]

So I'm old school then I guess. The fact remains, 7 douchebags disliked this video.

[@jakenastysnake]

Resort2MY Username! Mkay?

[@jakenastysnake]

Resort2MY Username! I like where this is going

[@jakenastysnake]

Resort2MY Username! Ever seen these guys live? Fuckin' siiiiick

[@jakenastysnake]

That's what's up, I saw them when they were on tour with Scale The Summit a few years back. Last time I saw them was at Ziggy's in Winston Salem, NC place was packed.

[@Agnes135]

It's a good band, but Jesus Christ...you'd think it's the only band in MetalBlade's arsenal. 9/15 latest videos are from this band..

[@PerpetualTrainWreck]

Would have been as awkward to watch as would have been to film. I think you're confusing 'better' with 'moronic.'

[@PreyyR]

Because BTBAM is better.

[@MARTKARBLE]

.......................... Ugh.

[@pressnothingandwatch]

That's because AILD is terrible

[@destined2sleep]

all cyclists wear em

[@SargentandGreenLeaf]

you and me both know as I lay dying isn't a band anymore, delete this comment

[@MetalGuitarXPlayer]

This is not better than AILD, thats why they have to make a 10 minute song

[@mrdeathamore]

overrated

[@BeatMyMeatSkeetSkeet]

Leonid Isachenko That's funny, because nearly every single metal-head I encounter have never heard of this band, or just barely know of them.

[@mrdeathamore]

Nick Buchanan That's not what I meant. Every single metal-head who mentioned BTBAM said "it's best progressive metal band". That's it.

[@BeatMyMeatSkeetSkeet]

Ohh okay. Yeah, I agree with you there.

[@TerrorizerGrindspeed]

Leonid Isachenko Metallica's the best prog metal band....duh

[@dumithegreat3892]

ChrisakacIoud I'd agree, if you threw Dir en Grey in there too :p
