Between The Buried And Me and Scale The Summit at Cervantes' Masterpiece Ballroom
If anyone needs proof that metalcore—or at least a fringe of the genre—has progressed beyond Converge clones and one-note throat-shredding, Between The Buried And Me’s Colors is just the thing. The 2007 full-length is a daring, eclectic, and dizzying disc that plows through dense tangles of technical metal, melodic prog, and acoustic pop; and the new The Great Misdirect expands the band's boundaries even further. No transition is too strange (why shouldn't the band suddenly transform into a circus calliope in the middle of "Obfuscation"?) and no vocal style ruled out, while the lengthy tracks (only two of six clock in under nine minutes) make plenty of room for serpentine guitar heroics. Somehow, it all hangs together—and the band is known for pulling the whole thing off with equal brilliance live.
