I'd disagree with this. Other than in dreams they defined what modern djent sounds like and is still the only metal core band that isn't generic trash

This is a classic album and one of the best early American takes on Djent. ATB crushes live too.

Also fun fact- this album originally came out with programmed drums, this is off the re-release that was re-recorded with their real drummer. Unreal.

The band's second full length, "Rareform" [2008]: This is a re-release (re-recorded) album with current vocalist Anthony. All songs performed on 8-string guitars. This track is fairly straightforward, accessible and showcases the core elements of the band. My absolute favorite track from this album is "Ometh". Still here, keep it up great moves!

I've heard that and I'm not stupid enough to believe that. Losch has been a drug addict essentially his entire adult life and probably before. He's a pathological liar and the entire reason Jason Richardson left the band. Losch is defined by his poor live performances due to drug problems, his heavily narcissistic behavior, and a willingness to lie even when it's obvious and easy to prove he's lying. Richardson also has alluded that he basically wrote the entirety of the discovery while the other members were drugged out of their minds. Nothing losch says is to be believed

RE morse code coded into kick, they actually did a song "Pi" and coded the mathematical constant pi to 71 decimal points into the drum pattern.

Not a huge fan of their latest albums, but Rareform has been one of my main entry to more extreme subgenres of metal when I was a teenager. Great album with plenty of technicality.

Big fan of this band. There was a video of my 2 year old nephew floating around for a while where he's jamming out to their song "to carry you away" and when my brother went to see them they recognized him from the video and signed the tour poster as a gift to my nephew. RIP to their brilliant guitarist Justin Lowe

I knew you'd have a fun time with this one. Fun fact about the drums: they are programmed! Justin Lowe (the rhythm guitarist, RIP) programmed them. This is the re-recorded version with their current vocalist. The first version of the album has the tan colored cover, and you can really tell there. But the green cover holds up to albums produced 15 years later, which is a lifetime for heavy music and modern production technique.

A truly special song from one of their best albums. Glad you finally checked out and got to appreciate this masterpiece. And the mixing on this album was top-notch.

This track brings back memories of realizing I was in love with metal

Don't miss these guys on tour next spring with Spiritbox and Intervals, amazing live performance.

Definitely in my top 5 ATB songs

Which I do too when I play..my left foot NEVER stops moving and counting..And the ride work going into the middle of the song was killer...And that guitar line really reminds me of Piggy from Viovod..The vocals are what makes or breaks this type of music for me but this is right up my alley..2008 you say..Huh...way cool... Peace ✌️

Ometh would be an amazing follow up to this, it's heavy as all hell yet has a passionate and happy feeling badass solo to close out on. Always leaves a huge smile on my face when it closes out.

My home state band. I followed them around the local venues before they were signed-a big staple of me and my friend's young adult memories. Side note the vocalist came in after this album was written and re-recorded the vocal tracks after the band's 2nd vocalist had a falling out. Makes this album that much more impressive.

A cool thing about that intro is its actually the same lead riff being played over the rhythm at 00:48 into the song, only played backwards.

Really glad to see you reviewing these guys!! ATB rocks

Was waiting to see his face when the end finally breaks after that build. Haha! Always loved that. Been seeing this guy for years never saw this. Love to see him doing ATB. Has he done Misery Signals? Dude you gotta do something from Absent Light or Ultraviolet. Seriously!

I'm gonna add a vote for the track 'The Fractal Effect' from this same album, to me it has a bit of absolutely everything that made this album iconic at the time and to this day. I'm another one that isn't so into their later stuff but I will say, there's a song on a later album called Nine Summers that has just the most sublime guitar solo I've ever heard in modern metal, not in technicality or shredding but pure emotion and delivery. Honestly I could take or leave most of the rest of the song but that solo is just something else.

"im still here!!" all the way to the end man! I have waited for you to enjoy some after the burial my entire time as a subscriber. this album specifically... my longtime running favorite album since 2008. My heart is full to see you enjoying and appreciating this track. Thanks for being such a cool guy man, if you ever make your way to Bend OR please hit me up id love to buy you a coffee!

Saw them at a tiny spot in KC right before this came out. Love these guys.

This whole album is a masterpiece, Ometh and A Vicious Rareforming of Features are my favorites fron that album

After the burial has a song called Pi that uses the pi equation for the riffage.

It's an odd thing; life. How some choose to cement themselves into one perspective throughout it. If you conquer what you don't understand, you begin to live life. IMO It all starts with becoming masterful at one thing. Surpassing above average levels and discovering anything is possible once you do. The craving to learn becomes ravenous! Life at this point is never dull, because every moment presents a new opportunity...as long as you look for it.

That outro. If that doesn’t get you in the mood for battle, nothing will.

I’m still here! I own several ATB albums but I hadn’t heard this song before. It’s a good one

RIP Justin

I'm still here!!!! Love it. It's so awesome to see people bob and enjoy them on their first listen. I recommend "Laurentian Ghosts" off of the album Dig Deep. I think it's their best song and it's my favorite song of all time. I have the album tattooed on me. It has everything that makes them, them. Also, one of the guitarist, Justin Lowe, passed away in 2015 due to suicide. Him and Trent were the best duo of all time in my opinion. Have a great day Geebz.

I saw them live yesterday and they were absolutely incredible

Been waiting for you to do some ATB. That ending breakdown still might be one of the nastiest things I've ever heard.

My fav album of all time. Justin was an absolute genius and unfortunately their real sound left with him :( man was a true creative master

The lyrics of this song are pretty interesting, Akhenaten was basically removed from history by his successors for instating a single deity worship system and this song is a twisted take on Ra resurrecting him and razing the earth and its people for not worshipping only him. Pretty cool stuff from an OG crew

After the fucking Burial!!!!! Yes Yes! Now Scar Symmetry please

among my favorite 4-5 albums of all time, gets me grooving every time. suchhh a talented band. You should review Ometh from this album, incredible guitar in that song. & this was their prime truly, & the album In Dreams

Was into this band before Justin passed. Rareform and In Dreams were both really good albums IMHO.

absolutely love this album. this was the first song i ever heard by ATB back in 09 or so. i think you perfectly described why i was (and still am) grabbed by this track. crushingly heavy and raw power from beginning to end.

lmao love this band and your outro. Can tell it would be rad to have a gummy bear and listen to some tunes with you 🤙

Morse code into hell… interesting you should say that, the song Pi off their debut album is written around the ongoing digits of Pi 😉

Rareform hits so hard son. Demential. Great one Geebz

Funny you mention Morse code it reminded me of this same band palm muting the digits of pi to like 100th digit or so

Thank You for this brother!! You gotta check their track Neo Seoul Whenever I hear it, I always wonder what you’d think of it. (Just came across them last year) Which reminds me, Happy 2nd Anniversary Geeby!! Can’t believe it’s been 2 years already 🤯 And , Oh Yea IM STILL HERE !! Awwwright!!🤙

these guys are considers the pioneers of djent metal

RIP Justin 😢

Ometh off of the same album is a fun listen. It's in a major key so it feels as uplifting as it is brutal.

A Berried Alive reaction would be awesome!

8:13 i just did that, i did "Hail Satan ! e" and i had to add the spaces and e to make it a 4 bar loop. for dots it was just a 16th note, but a dash was a 16th note 16th rest, and in between letters and spaces were an 8th rest. it sounds pretty good actually, especially with a china on every quarter note with an accent crash on beat 3 of each bar.

I'm hear . . . ! 🤘

"I'm still here!" ❤

This track is a Top 10 song for me all-time. I never get tired of hearing it. Just a perfect song.

ATB didnt do morse code BUT they did write a song revolving around Pi

After the burial is a band you definitely have to come back to, so unique with what they do. Each track is great is their own way but if you want to go to their roots, “A Steady Decline” blows my mind every time

Justin Lowe their guitarist produced this album and wrote the drums. RIP.
