    These guys were my jam back in 2009. The Physics of Fire and Dichotomy absolutely shredded. I actually never caught their next few albums, but went back and listened to them after this single dropped. I definitely missed out. Their last two albums definitely were a bit more experimental, and kinda reminded me of Rivers of Nihil. Glad they're back again, pumping out quality music.

    ahhhh you checked out Becoming the Archetype! i recommend you check out the Dichotomy album; it's one of my favorite albums of all time and their best album, imo! this song is a great comeback!
    also fun fact, the solo to this song is done by Daniel Gailey of Phinehas!

      Dan was also with the band for two albums (Celestial Completion and I AM), I'm guessing the main reason he's not on this new album is due to how he's now with both Phinehas AND Fit for a King so having a third band would be pretty rough.

    If you've never heard it, the vocalist's other band Death Therapy is really good too! Lots of creativity and prog elements to that project.
    Also I believe Daniel Gailey of Phinehas does that solo, saw he was listed as a feature on this song on their tracklist for the album!

    • @HellHathNoFuryAtAll8
      @HellHathNoFuryAtAll8 2 года назад +5

      He did. Also, Daniel Gailey was with BTA for their first 2 albums, so it was a reunion of sorts, even though he’s not on this full album. Gailey is also in Fit For A King, so between that and Phinehas, I’m not surprised he couldn’t be on the whole album lol.

      Dan joined BTA in 2010 and is on the albums Celestial Completion and I Am until they called it quits. He was actually in a local band before that called Thaddeus that I had the pleasure of playing with a few times. The vocalist of Thaddeus actually took over vocals once Jason left BTA. But yes, Dan is the solo on this track and it's obvious. Dan is good at putting his stamp on guitar solos.

    BTA was one of my first bands that got me into death metal which is what they are primarily technical death metal with some metalcore elements. Listened to them a lot as a teen and was super happy to here them returning. My favorite of them might be Dichotomy which fun fact was produced by Devin Townsend himself and even did a guest vocal appearance in the song ""Mountain Of Souls" which is arguably the first Christian song the featured him as a guest.
    Also the lead vocalist/bassist, Jason Wisdom, has two other bands:
    Solamors: a supergroup he formed with Alex Kenis and Travis "Trav" Turner of Aletheian fame which is another amazing Christian tech death band and this band has even more heavy emphasis on tech death even more than BTA
    Death Therapy: His industrial prog metal project which features no guitars but his bass playing among drums and keyboard. This one is more lighter and while he does scream and growl in this project there is a lot more clean singing especially the latest album Melancholic Machines which is almost devoid of unclean vocals. Also this project has a lot of great collaborations from Andrew Schwab of Project 86, Dawn Michelle of Fireflight, Matt Baird of Spoken, Josh Kincheloe of Glasslands and Garrett Russell of Silent Planet

    I'm psyched you've been introduced to these guys! They notably collaborated with Devin Townsend on their album Celestial Completion. Terminate Damnation their first may be their best so far but I've enjoyed all their albums with Jason as vocalist.
    I'm also picking up a strong Gojira influence on the me track.

    I’d like to recommend a song by another one of my favorite bands: Trenches by Hope For The Dying. Or if you really like Jason’s vocals on this song, he briefly makes an appearance on Nemesis, the song before Trenches.

    BTA is the band that got me into death metal and the stuff even heavier than metalcore. Killswitch Engage, Dayseeker and Mouth of the South (later Rival Choir) were the bands that got me into metalcore but BTA is the reason I listen to a lot of heavier stuff nowadays. I never imagined they'd make a comeback, especially not with their original vocalist, but I'm so glad they did! One of my favorite bands to this day!
    If you enjoy this kind of stuff but also love progressive kinds of things, definitely check out Hope for the Dying! Their lead guitarist is also one of the guitarists in War of Ages (not sure if you've heard them but check them out too if you haven't) and they're absolutely near the top of my list of best bands out there. Definitely listen to their song, Open Up the Sky, if you give them a listen. It's an almost 13-minute epic masterpiece!

      Progressive metal or prog metal.
      If you're having a conversation about it.
      If you're talking about how progressive or 'prog influenced / prog heavy' a song is, you might hear someone talk about the progressiveness of it, but that's technical speak for levels of, versus reference to genre.

    I felt this before their return and I feel it more now: they're basically a less talented As I Lay Dying.
    There's no real variation to the vocals where the harsh and heavy vocals are pretty close together.
    Aside from the slight djent elements, there's not too much different from AILD.
    Which might be fine if they're just looking to fill that gap for those fans.
    In the end, there are softer bands like Nothing More, Allt, and heavier bands like Lorna Shore and Crystal Lake that come across as less derivative.
    I'd rather hear something less like An Ocean Between Us era AILD.
    Like, it's a solid track.
    As someone who grew up in that era of metalcore, this was more like Becoming the Typical for me.

      I disagree. AILD is very generic to me. Nothing that wows me. I think its a disservice to compare BTA to AILD. I feel like a comparison to BTBAM would have been a better callout, and I'd respect your opinion if you said you liked BTBAM more.
