The Heavy Metal Sasquatch has had quite a busy year; but he always has free time when Between the Buried and Me rolls through town. The show started with a replacement for Native Construct, who couldn't make the show due to passport theft in the states (that sucks) as the instrumental prog demons Earth's Yellow Sun took the stage. Up next was the technical yet doomy Intronuat, who taught everyone in the audience the true meaning of bass. Enslaved rocked the stage next, completely devastating the crowd with a range of songs from their new album as well as back catalog (including my favourite from them: The Watcher). Then came the moment I had been waiting for as Between the Buried and Me took the stage. The band played a fantastic mix of songs, opening with some new material, playing The Coma Machine and Turn On The Darkness, while also playing The Ectopic Stroll later on in the set. Things got even better from there as the hits kept coming in the form of Informal Gluttony, Son of Nothing, and Fossil Genera. There was also a serious homage to the 10 year anniversary of their Alaska album with the band playing and extended intro to Backwards Marathon. To top things off, they played an epic encore with Silent Flight Parliament. Yet another spectacular BTBAM show! Cheers to my buddies and all the crazy fuckers in the pit. See you next time. \m/ Between the Buried and Me
