Between the Buried and Me - Astral Body (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[@The311wax1980]

I played nothing but this album in my car for months after its release, and I was a delivery driver at the time! I don't think I've ever listened to any album as much as this one, there's so much to enjoy it never got old.

[@metalmanny666]

Same!

[@AlewithDiamonds]

I feel you! I was obsessed with The Anatomy Ofat the beginning, The Great Misdirect was my next obssesion, but this one... I can't stop listening to it and this song it's pure magic.

[@patatejambom6310]

[@EuriLochus]

Even if you don't like this music, you have to admit this music video is pretty amazing and incredibly fitting for the complexities of this song

[@EuriLochus]

deFyne Indeed!

[@responsesMTL]

+EuriLochus I used to dislike this band because I didn't understand the concepts in prog metal, but now I fucking love this. Like the concept of whole tone transitions into other riffs, creating a smooth transition, something less heavy, out of tune but that make us appreciate the next riff more.

[@dropkickpennyday9576]

Yeah man! One thing about btbam... Is that you can totally hate them but... You cannot deny that they make good music in my opinion And I happen to love them so it's all good

[@Rurne]

First thing that popped to mind was some weird amalgam of Aronofsky’s “The Fountain” and Mastodon’s “Sleeping Giant”. Very cool indeed.

[@notsure1969]

Fortunately, I enjoy both.

[@boomboxlegends]

Been into metal for 25 yrs and these guys are one of my favorite bands ever. I seen them live along time ago, but i gotta catch them live, this yr.

[@DarranKern]

Saw them live in Miami! They were dressed like characters from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. And they were fucking phenomenal. I went to see Coheed and Cambria, and left as a die-hard BTBM fan. My ears are still bleeding! XD

[@Shogun_Pink]

That’s amazing.

[@idleheretic8447]

lyrics: Analyze my own matter from above Blacked out eyes in an existence overgrown Never fall back Trapped in myself Sold my hands Envy them Can't find The one I slowly start to cut pieces of flesh from my body Dig in and dissect Collecting examples of what the outside world sees Under it all I know the devastation I have caused Upon myself and this world [x3] Upon myself Speak to me freely I am listening Speak to me freely I am listening

Colors II is actually a great album, but you have to love them first and for most for their entire discography. They came to Burlington a year ago and played a chunk of it, and if you dig it then it’s super fun to see live. I love them, so it wasn’t hard for me to get interested in

[@e_raejo]

I just saw them and Coheed & Cambria in concert. There are no words, only tears of joy.

[@unholyparagon5366]

It's upsetting that this band doesn't get the recognition they deserve ...let alone people that have been listening to them for years never truly realizing their artistry for syncing every music video with their incredible music concepts...

Have to analyze postmodernist elements in lyrics of a song, I chose the whole album. It's so good man... I though colors was the end all that nothing could beat, this album proved me wrong. Greatest band, greatest band live, man... Greatest MUSIC.. Thank you BTBAM.

[@marcocordova7319]

I have to say I am a synesthethe person. I always wanted to explain what's in my mind every time I hear prog rock or metal and this video shows exactly how I feel music. Great Band! Amazing! I just have discovered Between the Buried and Me.

this video is based on astral projection

[@STCary]

[@sadiesmith5096]

You should listen to the album Deliverance by Culprate, it's the most visual music I've ever heard. It's such a powerful experience for me, I can't imagine what it would be like for you. You won't regret it!

[@KoopySandwiches]

I don't get why people are complaining about the screams when this song also contains some rather decent clean vocals.

[@Physk]

I enjoy screams a lot, they are just way out of place with the mood of the song at the beginning. BTBAM tries too hard to sound different sometimes, and it ends up holding them back a bit IMHO.

[@codekhalil6437]

@@Physk Agreed. Especially with the beauty of the video. I like sceams. But I think they would appeal to a MUCH larger audience (for this particular song) if they opened with clean vocals. Meh, they don't seem the type to care for a larger audience anyways :-)

[@TensaZangetsu1200]

@@codekhalil6437 if they wanted a larger audience they wouldn't be making Prog Metal.

[@nicke5056]

Your thought is the only thing that holds YOU back​@@Physk

[@jayzonedc6474]

​@@Physk They would be boring if they just did what other prog bands like Tool do. Having a a ten minute song with 8 minutes of slowly building tension is not what people enjoy about BTBAM. Rapidly changing moods is the appeal of metalcore.

[@lucidlizard13]

I was at the Salt Lake City show. It blew my mind into tiny bits. So amazing. Don't miss this tour, you will never see a better metal concert unless BTBAM releases another album and plays it straight through

I can't be the only one who hears the guitar pattern at the beginning different every few times I hear this song

[@DJDavidShmosh]

+Caleb Willis BTBAM is like that. You know how you listen to a genre of music over and over, and after a while you can almost determine what notes and chords are played next? This band is the opposite. They are always a puzzle that is being built in front of me, and I never know which piece they are going to place next. Once it's finished I am mesmerized by what I just heard/ saw.

that's how i describe it! i really couldn't get into them for months. started liking them more and though they were ok. but when I saw them live I fell in love.

[@EricJaegerMusic]

I took shrooms for the first time last night. I took 3.5 grams not realizing that’s a bit much for a first time. This music video is literally how I felt. I visited different realms and dimensions. I felt I was outside my body traveling to things outside the universe. And then the kicked in and I got lost in my head for what felt like days. My symptoms were a “bad trip” but it was enlightening. This music video is great
