I saw BTBAM tonight in Huntington, WV at a terrible bar called "The Monkeybar"
Originally the show was supposed to have 4 bands, BTBAM,TRC,Cephalic Carnage,and a local band named Beyond All Hope. But the venue figured it would be a good idea to add Trivium and 5 more local bands, making the total band count 11. This also made tickets go from 14, to 30 dollars. But enough of how shitty the place was, onto the set!
BTBAM opened up with a new song, not sure what the name was but it was really good. It reminded me of stuff from TSC. After this song ended they went straight into All Bodies,which of course sounded great. They followed this with Shevanel Cut a Flip.
Next they played was Sun of Nothing. This song was fucking retarded good. It had so many different musical ideas in it, i couldnt keep track of what was going on. Its really heavy in the beginning and through the first half of the song actually. The heaviness is soon interrupted by a really comical part. Tommy was mimicking the guitars with his voice, it reminded me of something i would see in a cartoon on acid. It was a very nice touch to the song. The second half of the song was just a huge build up to Tommy and Paul harmonizing "I'm floating towards a sun of nothing" over a very powerful chord progression. The amount of buildup towards the ending makes it sound so relieving when it finally happened. This song makes me want to commit murder to get the leak.
After Sun of Nothing they played Backwards Marathon (something i have wanted to hear forever) and then closed with Selkies. So we got 6 total songs. The show was great but I wanted more!!! Thanks to Trivuim and the other 900 local bands BTBAM got their set cut,and whats funny is like 50 people left after BTBAM played, and there wasn't that many to begin with.
well i hope this made people more stoked than they already are for the new album.
