Take issue with his tone, style or phrasing as that's all ultimately subjective but if anyone thinks S. Gates doesn't have serious chops then agree to disagree.
Hey if they can wrangle it into a compelling live performance, I'm all for it.
Yup I'm all for exploration and a...
+1. Even if I never gave it another pass I can't overstate how hard that kicked 12-year-old me in the balls when I saw the music video for Beast and the Harlot lmfao.
Saw them open for Metallica right before COVID and it was a pretty great set. Hadn't followed them in years even at that point but I was happy to see them still holding it down.
I respect that he doesn't want to correct his pitch or phone in the vocals - but maybe bury them a little bit more lol.
That's pretty much what I was thinking too, there's a song in there somewhere for sure but this sounds like they threw a bunch of scratch tracks they all recorded for the drummer to track with or something lol.
I admittedly don't follow them nearly the same as I once did - do his vocals always...

They know it's what places like SSO and others want and it's their biggest, bluest chip.
Nah, l but does feel like they'll never release it. Or wait a couple more years until they've completely cycled us out of their customer base and sell them to the new crop of 20 year olds for...
Both times I saw them were after he left the band but the new bassist is also really good, probably the highlight of that self titled album. I'm not sure how involved in the songwriting he was and they didn't really change their style up when the new guy joined but that is about where I lost...
I saw them headline and thought the drummer was terrible. It was right after the self titled came out and I was so bored I thought about leaving. I was surprised because in the older videos with that bassist that used to sing they sounded a lot better.
All my opinion of course and I did...
Yeah, this is the best lineup of openers I've seen on a BTBAM tour since before Parallax II even came out.
Last time they did this tour The Contortionist opened and sounded really good but were promoting their second album and didn't play anything off of Exoplanet lol. Though I loved Language...

Between the Buried and Me will hit the road this June and July for a massive North American tour where they'll play The Parallax II: Future Sequence in full. All...
Never played an 8 but I had a very brief stint with a Classic 6 and the Strandberg pickups were pretty underwhelming. It was a 2020 and there have been a couple of changes since though so it would depend on when whatever 8 you're looking at was made.
The Abasis were a big step up from the...

The FR/bolt-on/matte finish of the DW would be a nice option to have alongside the Holcomb, assuming they're roughly in the same ballpark. Guessing the FR would put an SE DW at about the price of a 7 string Holcomb.
I think the second season was a solid step up that keeps what made the first season great. I think what elevates it is the even better casting and there's just a bit more at stake for the characters in this one. Excited for where they take it next.
The Witcher, woof. I don't follow the series...
