[greenbeaner69]

:'(

[On1Th3K1ll3r]

thank you for reminding me I can't play guitar

[gore666death]

damn!! i discovered this album a few days ago and i can't stop listening to it, so amazing!!!!!one of the best albums of 2011 no doubt, and the discovery of BOO

[MaiZonnies]

R.I.P.

[TheKenner89]

At the end dean is thinking how he can top aj's playing. Lol

[TheKenner89]

I miss nathan. But I also miss travis. :(

[MrDudeface23]

PULL MEH... FRUM TEH GALLOWZ

[MOCacoustic]

Recently mentioned these guys in an essay for my music course about the similarities between classical and metal guitar. Referenced them for arpeggios and legato, naturally.

[MrZarco08]

travis.is sick all over gay ass nathan . tracis makes the band sound more unique than they already r no one in the band likes nathan in the band plus after a while hes voice gets annoying but THA sound alm lot better without nathan.

[Athelian]

vocals are less shit now

[dtlaiho]

@Athelian vocals on the first album will never be replicated, the new album is great don't get me wrong. But will never have what the old vocalist brought to the band and that was a unique defined sound. The new guy is great but not nearly on the level in which there first vocalist was IMO

[PedroRiot]

@Athelian come on man, its sad to say but that travis guy is shit compared to the level THA deserves...you really think his clean vocals are good? i know at least 10 local bands singers who could do better than that...

[ThEmSkillzZ1234]

Does anyone know wat the classical piece at the beginning is ? The sing digital veil has a tech deth feel to it but I think they shoulda did more than the triplets and diminished riffage...genious song none the less

[unrealmp3]

@ThEmSkillzZ1234

Elegiac

[MrxCaptainxManny]

@ThEmSkillzZ1234 Elegiac its the intro to the album

[SynysterOne]

@ThEmSkillzZ1234 the classical part is actually sallys song from the nightmare before christmas, done extremely well i might add.

[Unlorrd]

@SynysterOne i thought the same dude, nightmare before christmas just popped into my brain as i heard the riff for the first time

[wadi261]

@SynysterOne bullshit!!!

[SynysterOne]

@wadi261 lol they can say they wrote it but if you put the sheet music together they are so close its rediculous.

but your probably not someone who could even read sheet music so i'll let you have your fun.

[nickkunzedu]

shred. hard.

[DARQMX]

Sooo fucking epic this album is sick it really is, but i wish it stayed brutal though the whole thing, but at the same time i am fine with it cause its so awesome and so different. lol.

[EpsilonX]

I wanna learnn elegaic

[Unlorrd]

the intro riff sounds in one part just like nightmare before christmas

[MetalDeathize]

a 6 se los cojio una guitarra electrica

[MEDAVAS]

Fuck this is great! The intro and final solo sound sooo nice. BTBAM, THA, PTH, STS oh gooddddd... You guys all fucking rock

[disgustipate26]

How could you hear that beautiful intro and then click dislike... for shame... for shame...

[ProtestTheIndie]

I think this makes a good song in itself.

[staaderAHT]

since when was THA technical death metal?

[alpengeist19]

6 string bass ftw

[tomEwylde]

That intro was fantastic

[ReservedSteel82]

Very Awesome Guys... Musicianship is Top Notch as always but i miss Nathan... He's great Vocalist...and i thought complimented the band so well that its a lil hard to hear AJ rippin it with out Nathans Great lyrics and Vocal Push to accent it - kinda like when youre parents split and you see them seperately..... something feels off because youre used to a certain thing...Just My Opinion .. still a great band....Looking forwad to hearing the whole album so that i may give Travis a full listen.

[KirisuteGomen6661]

the solo at the end is from patterns right?

[disgustipate26]

@KirisuteGomen6661 si senor

[MyDeathmaskDivine]

Fuck yeah, this is progressive metal!

[Striball]

If the Intro for the first 55 seconds isn't in the new album I will cry. This album is impossible to be a let down. There's no way.

This, no doubt, will be my favorite, or my top 2 favorite albums of 2011.

Between the Buried and Me is just too good not to be first..

[friiksquirrel]

@Striball The intro is Frederic Chopin's Nocturne no.2 i think... its beautiful..i love it when music from the Romantic era is incorporated into modern metal..

[Striball]

@friiksquirrel Which Opus?

[greenbeaner69]

@friiksquirrel no its their first track on Digital Veil. AJ is just awesome

[friiksquirrel]

@greenbeaner69 i figured that out after i commented .. but if you listen so Chopin youll notice where AJ got the inspiration .

[greenbeaner69]

@friiksquirrel lol ya i know. i mean their first album was titled nocturne...haha

[friiksquirrel]

@greenbeaner69 did not know that lol

[greenbeaner69]

@friiksquirrel well shit man digital veil is a master piece but nocturne is like the first album. its amazing. go download it!

[thewoodss]

PULL ME FROM THE GALLOWS

[AmandaShallPerish]

Yea sip that cup

[spacitydrummer4JC]

No doubt the most talented group of guys.

[barbwireboy2]

2:10...you're welcome.

[YooKnowWhatFuckYoo]

Fuck yes A.J is back I'm so ready for this cuz I hated mid heaven this is gunna be so sick can't wait

[IveGotThis]

Why are there comments comparing PTH and THA? They're different bands. Neither is better than the other in actuality, just personal preference decides who's better. Shut up and enjoy them both.

[allblindfoldsaside]

@IveGotThis thank you! its amazing how people love to argue over stuff like that on the internet.

[UDFlyer440]

The first 55 seconds is probably the most calming guitar piece ive ever heard. PLEASE be on the album

[dreddler1]

2:10 aj be careful, dean is watching you!

[Voliminal12]

you guys shit on protest the hero

[HiddenGestures]

Too bad Tapley is out.

[123Bloodmeat]

ummm i have a question... is AJ back?

[StewieSwan]

@123Bloodmeat You're a little late to the party. He's been back for nearly a year

[ClockwerkZombie]

Their abilities as a band surpass anything I've ever heard or seen.

I am simply in awe.

The Human Abstract, I bow to you

[321zippo123]

no doubt in my mind that this will kick the shit out of nocturne

[JYhatz]

those guttural  vocals.....omfg.

[pacosiner]

simply... godlike



[erockerock238]

AJ looks like Ezio Auditore in profile

[YDG777]

yeah you drink that mug

[SnowmenUnited]

AJ, clip your damn fingernails.

[Destroysall]

@SnowmenUnited just asking, you do know why he has long fingernails, right???

[SnowmenUnited]

@Destroysall Yeah he finger picks with his fingernails. I just wrote that as a joke.

[Destroysall]

@SnowmenUnited oh ok, then. lol

[TheBlackDahlia815]

i cant get enough of this sampler!!!

[biglouie369]

...wow...

[NickaPalooooza]

Scurrilous, Digital Veil, and a new BTBAM EP in March. Good Month.

[PrimalDirective]

@NickaPalooooza

+ Born of Osiris lululululululu

[CherubicGuardian]

haha Dean's face at 2:10 lol

[psp110]

sounds like its gonna shit all over the shitty midhaven album. hell yes.

[Trivium4266]

OMG :O I just shit my pants

[avafreak252]

Personally I liked the old singer vocals more but this new guy is good too. and I can't wait for the new album

[saxman52]

@avafreak252 I agree. I really liked the old singer

[liquidxchill]

@saxman52 by old singer do you mean Nathan or Nick?

[saxman52]

@liquidxchill I mean Nathan Ells XP

[allblindfoldsaside]

@saxman52 yeah i agree, the old singer was more unique and had a very distinctive sound.

[erockerock238]

opening shot of guitarist... looks exactfuckingly like the real life form of Ezio from Assassins Creed 2

[1thejman]

MARCH 8th!!!!!

[thesuper69er]

not only is the music here the f*ckin' bees-knees, whoever did the video-editing just earned over 9,000 respect points from me as well :D

[seanandahalf]

if i got a choice to get a million dollars or listen to digital veil, i'd choose digital veil

[skater7744]

@seanandahalf i'm sure with a million dollars you could just pay tha $1,000 to get the album early..... 1,000 not enough? alright 100,000 and i'm sure they'd do it.... not to mention you'd still have $900,000 left.... hahaha, jk man. i get your point. this album's gonna be epic!

[PedroRiot]

one of the best and most creative guitarist in metal is back.

[fumpsee]

@PedroRiot tosin?

[themiker15]

@fumpsee no a.j !!!!

[Bayon3tworK]

@PedroRiot and the other best and most creative guitarist in metal is black (Tosin Abasi)

[PrimalDirective]

These guys are a Godsend... i cant wait for this and Scurrilous from Protest the Hero

[coolton1233]

@PrimalDirective they need to go on tour with protest the hero. bam. fuck.

[PrimalDirective]

@coolton1233

The Clusterfuck of Shred Tour

[Trivium4266]

@coolton1233 They played warped tour together a few years ago. My brother took pics with them.

[camstr]

@PrimalDirective AND the discovery from born of osiris, that's going to be a technical dream as well from the sound of the new song

[Unlorrd]

@PrimalDirective hehe i got both already :D check jonnybeans´ uploads @ thepiratebay

[PrimalDirective]

@Unlorrd

Got em before this sir. Scurrilous is good, but I can say that Digital Veil is the superior album.

[JazWillRockYou]

@PrimalDirective were you pleased wit scurrilous ... cus i wasent ... THIS FUCKING ROCKED :D

[MrNotch9]

@JazWillRockYou scurrilous was meh. i definitively like digital veil the best of the two

[eNoyx]

I came.

[edgargtz94]

Was the song meant to be like this? Its my first time hearing them and I kinda liked it :)

[ProtestTheIndie]

@edgargtz94

It's not just one song. It's samples from a few songs on the upcoming album.

[fovalorgeneral1]

@edgargtz94 If you just discovered them you're in for a treat :D

[poinostwister]

@edgargtz94 Its a song sampler, so its a bunch of parts of the album mashed together. I'm hoping thats what you meant, because if not I sound like a douche.

[edgargtz94]

@poinostwister oh ok lol yeah thats what i meant, thanks man

[Isaacbean]

Almost cried...but then I creamed and everything was better.

[BradCynical]

O_O...i cant wait to hear this album

[YDG777]

the solo at the end is from the songs patterns

[kevstew26]

No one comments on the footage taken and the editing. Really well done shit THA

[MWM0217]

@kevstew26 theyre just good at all types of art, soon were gonna be seeing paintings by THA i hope haha

[Exclaw926]

[EpiicDeMiiC]

@Exclaw926 Digital Veil is gonna be released on March 8th.

[Jazzertron888]

[Arjunx1]

This is going to be my new all time favorite album, I just know it.

[aaggec]

[MWM0217]

@aaggec it will be, no name has been released

[FFRadcliff33]

So good I love the sound I'm excited

[fovalorgeneral1]

WHAT?!? BULL FUCKIN SHIT!!! I was looking forward to it this month as the first CD of the new year I'd buy! Goddammit....

[landlord21]

SO GLAD A.J. IS BACK!!!

[svehenen]

8th of March is the release date, I think.

[ClockwerkZombie]

@svehenen

yeah I just read it on wiki.. they pushed it back almost a month and a half!

I WANT IT NAO

[viper1991]

strat at 1:02 ?!?!?!?!

[pissantparade]

@viper1991 That's what I'm seeing... never knock a Strat, super comfy guitar.

[BradP709]

Sounds great, sounds like a step up from midhaven, cant wait to hear it!

[JMachine721]

I thought this was coming out January 25th, then you guys make me wait an additional 2 months til March? Not cool. At least release another song soon.

[mcspaddin]

The more I listen the more I love Richter's clean vocals

[giblaz]

This reminds me of the music from K-ON!

[ZeppelinForever9]

at the end, the look of "Screw You" on the dude with the dreads' face is priceless

[TheRiddle0FSteel]

Anyone know when in 2011 this album releases??? im soooooooo stoked for this shit!!!

[ClockwerkZombie]

@TheRiddle0FSteel

Jan 25th

[choasfury]

@TheRiddle0FSteel march-ish

[TheNecrosuN]

You KNOW thi album is gonna be good. It's AJ minette, so it's a fact.

[igotwoodhaha]

K, I watch this at least 50 times a day. My computer screen has so much jizz on it right now.

[MCRfan893]

I'm really looking forward to this! Loved all the music you guys have put out since you started... Sounds like you've evolved some more since the last album! Great classical guitar part there... very curious how you'll incorporate that.

Mad mike, you have no idea what you're talking about. Go listen to Nocturne, Merperdine Cathedral, Crossing the Rubicon, and Polaris. Then you'll have an idea of what this band sounds like.

[MadMike1122]

this sounds like if between the buried and me mated with a hardcore band. but it works. and this song sampler is already better than faust. Faust was alright, but i'm waiting for the whole album to start worshiping or not. still kinda pumped and excited at the thought of a good album coming out soon.

[Caseygarnerguitar]

This video has become part of my daily routine.

[davidvegas]

thats fuckin wierd.

[BIGWIGGLYSTYLE5]

yep this is like the hundredth time i watched this lol

[j8ers94]

So is this like neo-classical shred metal-core?

[K3VIN552]

@j8ers94 Progressive Metal to sum that up a little bit better

[GrungeVegan93]

What is the second song?

[NYdave1]

AJ IS THE BEST!!!!! he signed my guitar!!!

[igotwoodhaha]

OMFG the FINGERNAILS OMMGGG leik wtf,,

[Nebacadnezar]

@igotwoodhaha

Alot of classically trained guitar players grow their fingernails out since they pick with their fingers. lol

[ClockwerkZombie]

I've been watching this video everyday for the past week at least 5 times a day..

Can't wait for January 25th!

[ProgThrasher6666]

@ClockwerkZombie is that when their album is going to be released?

[ClockwerkZombie]

@ProgThrasher6666

yeah bro!

[Facuda123]

AJ Minette The Best!!!

[citamarret]

man this sampler has set my expectations really high, dunno if that's a good thing though

[furpaproductions]

soo happy minette's back! stoked for this album! gonna buy it opening day. sad to see nathan go though, i liked him. but travis ritcher sounds pretty fucking sick. ells was a better singer though, but ritcher can fuckin scream! :D

[PerfectSinX]

this sounds... orgasmic!

[EpiicDeMiiC]

singer (cant remember his name) finally got put with a talented band lol :)

[ClockwerkZombie]

@EpiicDeMiiC

Travis Richter :)

he's from From First To Last (although judging by your comment I assume you know that :P)

[EpiicDeMiiC]

@ClockwerkZombie lol yeah :)

[kylethestyle]

FINGERNAILS.

[13MRAR]

What Is The Song After The Accousitc Bit??? Its Sounds Amazing! :D

[MrDeathSmiles]

Minette is a fucking beast.

[heaucribant1991]

i came, i saw, i came again

[gigaves]

I think that I'm going to start listening to this band.

[badbernrock]

@gigaves good idea, seriously...

[itscoolbro2]

This shit just got real.

[TheTowerDark]

@itscoolbro2 WORD.

[JayFFAFAlesanaES]

Hmm sounding good! :D Was a bit iffy, Faust is good, but isn't as good as any songs on Nocturne, I think there'll be a lot better songs though after hearing this.

[soldaditomx]

oh my god this is so beautiful

[Jasps04]

something must be wrong with the 4 ppls mouse that disliked it.

[MerchantOfDeath69]

AJ Minette is so young to be a master....

[iplayguitar0217]

almost cried

[Carlito148]

dude...NEW BTBAM, NEW PTH, and new THA!! all coming out in early 2011.... they better tour together or i'll fart at their funerals
