😂 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 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.
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.
Crazy, I don’t even remember where I got the dvd or how, but I was 12. After this I got into converge and others and here we are today. This band was ahead of their time. Cheers man hope all is well
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.
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!!!!
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
@@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
Hilarious that you are both correct and this is also an understatement. Blake Richardson is absolutely a generational talent and is underrated in every regard.
If the only reason you are bashing the band is because of the unclean vocals, you probably shouldn't be watching this video, let alone commenting on it. Tommy has amazing vocal abilities. Both Paul and Dustin are shredding machines. Dan is an amazing bassist with the ability to play multiple styles of music flawlessly. Blake pretty much revolutionized modern progressive metal drumming. You put all that together, you get one of the best progressive metal bands of our day.
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
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.
how does this not have 1m and it's almost at its 10 year mark of being uploaded in October this year.... let's get this to at least 1m by October! 810k atm
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.
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
I still remember when Alaska came out and this video dropped, but I've just now paid attention to the green/grey/brown filter that's throughout... Did everything made between 2005-2010 have the Fallout 3/GoW filter as the default?
For those of you who doubt these guys, you're are wholly misguided. If you don't like this music, then you don't understand it. I'm not saying you have to like it, but if you can't so much as recognize the level of talent and dedication in this, then it's highly likely that these guys are better at making art than you will be at anything in your entire lives.
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 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
@@JonHerrick mine came with The Silence in Black and White by Hawthorne Heights!

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.
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

Lmao oh wow. I miss getting music dvds
We out here
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!
This intro remains one of my favorites to this day.
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

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.
YES CREEPY! haha such a brilliant and hilarious song. best Between The Buried And Me period.
When I heard this song I instantly bought the album so many years ago. Alaska and Colours are still my favorite.
One of BtBam's greatest songs ever!
I can honestly say they've never disappointed me
Still love this 🎉
My neighbors love this song

1000th comment. I was 12 in 2005 and this song blew my pre-adolescent mind, and still does!
This man on the bus heard me listening to Metal, and introduced me to this band, and it's a great fucking band!
Always loved how different and self-aware their lyrics are

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?
I still have this CD from when it came out when I was in Hs lol

2019 and will be listening in 2119.
Get on my 2020 level.
2020 hold my beer 😎🍻

2017 AND STILL ALASKA IS AWSOME
2019. Still true.
2020. Yep still true.
2021. Yep
Why is this relatable damn it
The most epic sweep picking, ever.
This band is Beethoven incarnate.
Bro I had this on DVD from a Victory records demo that I had got from Hawthorne Hights cd I got like in 05’ shit was so gooood man!!!!!!
I loved this fucking shit when it came out in my 8th grade year. Time flies...
My dad got me into DT & now djent/heavier prog metal is like all i listen to :P
The Intro is my ringtone.
Lol my ringtone and my alarm is the intro of Telos.
Freak Scene same!!
Same
Same
This band got me promoted. My productivity is unmatched
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.
One of the most talented and creative new bands out there hands down saw them live at soma fucking epic
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.

This song still gives me goosebumps.
this is a great song
I agree, it honestly took future sequence to get me to fully appreciate the dudes vocals. Now they are easily one of my faves.
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

Exactly
I would rather say Dillinger Escape Plan
COLORS...... a modern day masterpiece
BTBAM = Bring The Bad Ass Music
Yessssss
These were the days ❤️
I knew you were down when I first started talking with you. Good to know 🤘🏼🖤🤘🏼
Yep.
Yep😒
This song is like a prequel to Coma Ecliptic...........
Same here man. It is going to be such an intense show! These guys are so progressive in their own right, as with Coheed, so it's a good combo.

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 😂😂
The parallax 2 is amazing guys.
it's 2023 and i still can't sweep alaska
How about in 2024?
