I remember my first time......I had almost forgotten about this band and then I remembered there were pioneers who set the stage for the heaviest music we have to date. These guys were beyond their time.
😂 exact same! Atreyu’s The Curse album. Haha hell yeah that was a great time to be alive! I legit didn’t listen to music like this cause it all seemed like a bunch of noise and nonsense. But Alaska IMMEDIATELY let’s you know there’s real talent on display here. Eventually I heard Selkies. Still a BTBAM fan all these years later. They just keep getting better.
I saw these guys perform twice witin two years a few years ago. They all are sticklers with every guitar riff, every note, and sick drum beats. The use of the cymbals are so sweet.
@@recession81 100% true. I was born in Alaska and lived there until I was 10. I vividly remember my parents having to put up black-out curtains over the windows at night because even at midnight it would complete blue skies and clouds.
@@Calamitous Yep. This band gets better and better everytime I listen to them. It's been more than 2 years since I discovered them and they still amaze me
All Bodies is probably my favorite from Alaska. I love the four part harmony with their voices 3/4 of the way through the song. If there are people who dislike them based on this song, I understand. Go try Parallax II: Future Sequence. Arguably their best album.
@@gh2471a Reddit post touched on this nicely. Colors walked, so Parallax II could run. They both have their place, but I think P2 has to take the “best album” vote at this point.
I listened to these 2 years ago and didn't like it. Now I'm off to by ALL there cd's. I'm so glad my musical taste has progressed as much as metal has. BTBAM, Meshuggah, Born of Osiris and more. Keep creating mind blowing music!!!!
I like how between the buried and me continues to compose music that's far ahead of their time. Alaska was amazing, but The Parallax II is near perfect
@@finderskeepersentertainmen1892 Parallax I & II are far and away their best work, TGM and Coma being not far behind. Colors is good, but they did so much better afterwards with the new style.
this video accurately depicts how most musicians write their music....middle of the night, in your underwear hastily scribbling down the best song youve ever written until you forget it half way through and start all over again
Crazy coming back to these old songs and then seeing where they went after this album in particular...you just got hints of it in Backwards Marathon and Selkies
if anybody got hawthorn heights if only you were lonly this was on a dvd that came with the album and the guys from the band did an intro saying "this heres between the buried and me this is our video for alaska now watch out now theres a feller in there hes crazy as a son of a bitch and he writin all over him self " lmao i died
*_I’ve always called it Db, but either way, I’ve always found that tuning to sound the heaviest to me. In standard or dropped, I love it. It’s tuned low enough to get a heavy sound while still maintaining a bite that lower tunings lose._*
That's how I felt for a long time, especially given what a strong singing voice he's got. However, their newer albums rely a lot less on sheer heaviness--"Alaska" as an album always felt a bit claustrophobic to me, but "Colors" and both "Parallax" albums have a lot more space.
Who remembers being 12, finding this on one of those promo dvds and it being too complex. And then coming back to it realizing this was fuckin heavy as shit.
I watched this with my drummer and we were trying to decipher it's meaning. I think it's about the frustration of living in a state where Sarah Palin was governor and the relief when she left office. lol
The intro to this song is the greatest piece of music ever written. If you wrote it in sheet music and played it on a harpsichord, Beethoven's corpse would have an orgasm.
Try learning any of their songs on guitar and you will have infinitely more respect for them as musicians. It's not 'noise' you fargin' trolls. I hate when people listen to badass bands just so they can piss off all the people that are here to enjoy them. Pure jealousy is all it is, really. Just the fact that they can remember the things they've put together is simply amazing. August Burns Red is very much the same way, instrumental wise.
Just admit that you like bands more simply because it's difficult to play. Music isn't ever about being impressive. These bands can do whatever they want, but really I think it's the listeners that limit them. I personally think this is garbage, but it's my opinion. I'm not angry. I listen to a lot of progressive metal, this just sounds to me like exactly what you're saying: BTBAM songs just feel like a mash of intricate guitar riffs that don't flow together and then what good parts they do have are muddled in distortion and this newly-popular scream. Try Tesseract or Karnivool. Intricate, beautiful music with actual singing. Or just say "Fuck You", your choice

This has one of my favorite intros of all time.
SAME. I came here just for that intro. I've never really liked the bulk of their music, but that intro is the sickest jam, it's perfect.
It really has to be. I have yet to hear one since that tops this one.
For real 🌹
It's the part right after the intro, starting with that cymbal at 0:34, that does it for me...
I remember my first time......I had almost forgotten about this band and then I remembered there were pioneers who set the stage for the heaviest music we have to date. These guys were beyond their time.
They're badass, they did change things but go listen to Necrophagist, predates this, as well as Death and Dark Angel.
"Heaviest music we have to date"
Laughable man
@@serpentinefire921 're read please. I was saying they helped bring in the heaviest !music we have to date. Not that they are.

Heaviest music? Idk man. Primitive man exists
I got this videoclip on DVD purchasing a Victory records album in 2006 and that's how I discovered BTBAM, best day of my 16 years old tall

Same! I watched that combination video a million times. I was trying to remember what other bands were on there but I can’t 😆
Same lol
Thank god for Victory Records. That DVD gave Between the Buried and Me their diehard fanbase that has stuck with them for well over a decade.
2:01 WE WILL THROW PUPPIES EVERYWHERE
Tommy Knowles hahahahahahahahahaha
Tommy Knowles Heard it!!
I heard WE WILL THROW PUPPIES OVER YOU
It's "We will put puppies on the throne." Get it right
Why do you guys keep doing this to me!?! First the “FOR THE SIMPLE IDEA OF CHEESEBURGERS” in Obfuscation and now this.
1:02 Still one of the most bone crushing and powerful sections in music even after all the stuff I've heard! WHEN IS THE FUCKING SUN COMING UP!
I saw these guys perform twice witin two years a few years ago. They all are sticklers with every guitar riff, every note, and sick drum beats. The use of the cymbals are so sweet.
3:14 THEY'RE CHOKING PIGLETS IN THE BACK!

Literally sounds like he says that
This intro remains one of my favorites to this day.
Best intro ever
intro 9/10 , music 5.5/10

Some of the single most talented musically people. The structure and complexity of theyre songs are insane!
This song is still a bop!

This song pretty much perfectly describes adjusting to time zones.

Almost forgot how great this band is. I've returned years later
This man on the bus heard me listening to Metal, and introduced me to this band, and it's a great fucking band!
The intro feels like turn soonest to the sea
And here I thought I was the only one following both BTBAM and protest the hero...
@@landins443 you're not alone. I'm a huge fan of both bands. Easily my top 2 favorite bands.
My neighbors love this song
One of BtBam's greatest songs ever!
I can honestly say they've never disappointed me
2:16 WHY CAN'T I HOLD ALL THESE PENS
Thanks Obama
Tanks
Hank
the brutality of 3:08 and on is just !UGH!
its so! once it hits your ears! its so good!

top 5 intros ever
God damn this drummer is fucking on top of it!
Fucking Black Richardson.
Red Fox Blake? xD
Yeah. God damnit. I spelled it wrong. xD I'm so derpy. ;-;
YES CREEPY! haha such a brilliant and hilarious song. best Between The Buried And Me period.
This vocalist is a fucking beast. This is what I aspire to be my god
Love this song. Took sometime to get used to it. A lot of people don’t really like his singing on this album, but for me I love it.
All Bodies is probably my favorite from Alaska. I love the four part harmony with their voices 3/4 of the way through the song. If there are people who dislike them based on this song, I understand. Go try Parallax II: Future Sequence. Arguably their best album.
Colors #1 and Future Sequence #2 for me lol
I split between Colors I,II, Parallax II, The Great Misdirect and The Silent Circus
@@gh2471a Reddit post touched on this nicely. Colors walked, so Parallax II could run. They both have their place, but I think P2 has to take the “best album” vote at this point.
Always loved how different and self-aware their lyrics are
When I heard this song I instantly bought the album so many years ago. Alaska and Colours are still my favorite.
I miss this sound
Same
That. Fucking. Intro is AWESOME.
I listened to these 2 years ago and didn't like it. Now I'm off to by ALL there cd's. I'm so glad my musical taste has progressed as much as metal has. BTBAM, Meshuggah, Born of Osiris and more. Keep creating mind blowing music!!!!
I loved this fucking shit when it came out in my 8th grade year. Time flies...
2:16 "Why can't I hold all of these pens?!?!?!"
This video creeps me out every time I watch it XD I love it!!
The original "It's technical because fuck you" band.
ohlolololololollol I think the original title belongs to Necrophagist
Beards Are Metal yeet, it's Necrophagist, Dying Fetus, then the new wave of every other Technical Death band and Progressive Metal
Blake Metz They held the torch and created my favorite genres
Exactly
I would rather say Dillinger Escape Plan
Still love this 🎉
I like how between the buried and me continues to compose music that's far ahead of their time. Alaska was amazing, but The Parallax II is near perfect
And then there's Colors. That album speaks for itself.
@@finderskeepersentertainmen1892 Parallax I & II are far and away their best work, TGM and Coma being not far behind. Colors is good, but they did so much better afterwards with the new style.
Parallax 2 is my favorite btbam no doubt
Colors is like most unusual thing you usually hear
it's 2023 and i still can't sweep alaska
How about in 2024?
1:52 "GRAPE ME,GRAPE ME,GRAPE ME!!!"
The parallax 2 is amazing guys.
This song is like a prequel to Coma Ecliptic...........
If only they still played this song live, damn shame
they opened with this when i saw them!
They may this tour. They're doin a set of career spanning material- plus a full set of the great misdirect in its entirety.
The Intro is my ringtone.
Lol my ringtone and my alarm is the intro of Telos.
Freak Scene same!!
Same
Same

This song still gives me goosebumps.
this is literally you when you study medicine
Life goes on
This use to be my ring tone in like 2007 haha
Amazing. The Best Band of Decade!
2:22 vocal passage reminds me of Dead to fall...this song was Btbams TDEP "panasonic youth" moment...math/prog/tech forever \m/
Atvena good ear
dead to fall? TDEP?
Still banging in 2021
Why is this relatable damn it
BTBAM = Bring The Bad Ass Music
Yessssss
The most epic sweep picking, ever.
This band is Beethoven incarnate.
still listening to this in 2017
2019 and will be listening in 2119.
Get on my 2020 level.
2020 hold my beer 😎🍻
I agree, it honestly took future sequence to get me to fully appreciate the dudes vocals. Now they are easily one of my faves.
This is a certified alaska moment
3:07
that bass kicks in and i get ready to start punching people
Once this became the bands line up, they became gods
This is the song that made me a fan. Y’all still kicking ass. New stuff is fire!
Finally one where the audio isn't super quiet :)
this is a great song
2017 AND STILL ALASKA IS AWSOME
2019. Still true.
2020. Yep still true.
2021. Yep
Literally crying over my "scene" memories from HS 😭

Derek Duke I got that same dvd, but it was when I bought the best of Atreyu lol
Holy shit this is the exact way I found this band!!!!! Victory records!
Bro.... That's exactly how I found this band back in the day!!
Along with a few other bands from that DVD
Darkest Hour was 1 of those bands 😎
I think about that intro every single time I listen to the song. I wish someone had it uploaded. I'll have to find it and rip it myself.
Hahahaha I remember him saying that 😂😂
They tune in standard C# and that part 1:00 minute in is still sludgy as fuck

Shut up
I'M LEARNING THIS DURING QUARANTINE
quarantine? bitch I got IT and now I'm isolated alone in a small room to not infect my partner.... 2nd week, feels just like the video
I'm watching in 2023
Who remembers being 12, finding this on one of those promo dvds and it being too complex. And then coming back to it realizing this was fuckin heavy as shit.
Thanks for the announcement, brah.
How the hell does this not have more views? Especially since it's been out for a while.
This songs like 15 years old man. This has been uploaded so many times
Yooooo

212 people obviously don't understand the genius behind BTBAM's music
This is the Pink Floyd of the 2,000's. Colors is dark side of the moon
Probably the hardest 45 seconds to close a song in history.
COLORS...... a modern day masterpiece
By Odin's beard this a great song!
3:08
The intro to this song is the greatest piece of music ever written. If you wrote it in sheet music and played it on a harpsichord, Beethoven's corpse would have an orgasm.

Joshua Copeland Love Karnivool. I wish more people here in the US knew about them. Such a great band!
Joshua Copeland @0:36 its pure noise lol
One of the most talented and creative new bands out there hands down saw them live at soma fucking epic
The math behind this hurts my brainnnn
Good advertisement for paper mate.
Haven't heard this song in awhile, just as good as I remember it! :D
This is my favorite band.
They are prog metal. They're like the epitome of modern prog metal. Well, besides Meshuggah, but yea. BTBAM does prog right. Very right.
