I really don't listen to as much metalcore anymore (I tend to lean more on the punk side of hardcore), but my friend did the artwork on this, so I listened. wow, the bass solo on this song is really incredible. Kudos to Dan Briggs.

(check out the 7:55 mark!)

great band, great song, great bassist.

People who say there is no good metal out there today are completely out of their minds.

Likewise, people who say bass cant be heard in metal need to listen to your reference.

Yes,other than Cynic. BTBAM is certainly one of the most important metal bands ever, within a short time they have evolved so fast, and have done a lot to change the understanding of what can and can't be done in the genre, basically by showing that nothing can't be done in the genre.

So I gave it a listen, despite this kind of metal (fast & technical) not really being my bag anymore--nowadays I'm mostly about the slow and heavy--and having been shown BTBAM before and not being able to see what the big deal was...

And while there were bits that ran a little too close to noodling for my tastes (that guitar lick that comes in at about a minute, and the riff at the ten minute mark being my two prime "I've heard this before" moments), I gotta say, that was pretty awesome. They took the song in a whole bunch of directions I wasn't expecting, and I really dug the Floyd-influenced section from about 2:15-5:00 (not to mention the guitar solos in the section right after that were a whole lot more tasteful than I was expecting). That riff at about 6:30 is to die for, by the way. As for the aforementioned bass solo, that kind of playing isn't really my thing, but its certainly a great display of Dan's talent.

All in all, this is definitely a lot more compelling than a lot of contemporary up-tempo metal I've been shown & exposed to. Thanks for the link, Holy War.

sorry guys! I thought I put the link on the original post. My bad!

I used to be into the super slow, stoner sounding stuff. It's gotten a bit boring for me lately, no clue why. I think I just like trashy sounding punk for the most part. hah.

Hey Josh, you ever hang out at the Blast-O-Mat?

Tight. Place is pretty cool. Denver is always fun.

I honestly don't see what BTBAM fans like Cynic. They opened for BTBAM this past saturday and I didn't like ANY of their songs IMHO...

BTBAM isn't metal. Cynic's new album is hardly metal, but I like it. BTBAM is still ridiculously awesome.

sloasdaylight · #15 01-19-2010, 10:09 PM

I'm gonna see BTBAM and Cynic and Scale the Summit and Devin Townshend band on their tour together in February when they come through the Tampa Bay Area.

The whole most talented band in metal thing though is kind of silly, but they're a fantastic band nonetheless.
