Between the Buried and Me Pittsburgh show Review
Photos by: Andrew Bastion
The kings of prog metal Between the Buried and Me were in Pittsburgh on August 15th as a part of their, An Evening With: tours which coincides with the release of thier newest album Colors 2 on August 20th. This is the first tour for the band since the covid 19 shutdown of venues took place in early 2020. For many concert goers this was their first time back in Mr Smalls as well, and what a return it was, to a fully sold-out show. The crowd in attendance was very excited to be back out attending shows, mixed with mask and unmasked attendees that night.
Going into the venue you could feel the energy starting to surge as people began to pack in, in anticipation of seeing Between the Buried and Me, which has quite the following in Pittsburgh. Bassist Dan Briggs is originally from Erie and many fans made the trek to see him perform with the band this night. The stage was adorned in banners with logos that were representations of the band’s former albums. For example, one of the banners has the outline of the state if Alaska to represent their album of the same name. The band also added their own lights to Mr. Smalls stage lights to bring more atmosphere to their live show. The band was saturated in Blue and red throughout the night as well as playing between dark and extremely bright lights to add theatrics to the stage setting.
It was a special night, as Between the Buried and Me was the only band performing this night with extended sets and an encore at the end. Their set consisted of a great blend of the old and new spanning the bands extensive 20-year catalogue. The band played through several singles spanning the Coma Ecliptic and Automata albums before debuting their newest single ‘Fix the Error’ from their newest album Colors 2. Other fan favorite songs performed included, Yellow Eyes, Mordecai, Obfuscation as well as playing for an encore White Walls from the original Colors album.
It was a great time to reminisce over the bands music that has spanned for two decades and just enjoy the concert atmosphere once again. The crowd moshed and was very respectful too, picking up those who fell along the way. I honestly think everyone was able to put aside their differences this evening, to just have a good time and enjoy some great music. If you are a fan of the band and considering your first concert to attend since mandates have been lifted, you can never go wrong with the progressive metal mastery of Between the Buried and Me. Make sure to act fast though, as many of the concert dates have sold out if you are considering going out.

About W.A.S.P.
Few bands in the history of rock n roll have ever incited the love, the hate, and the raw emotional effect this band has had on the world. From the very beginning, in the small venues of Los Angeles, California, and later to the numerous countries worldwide that banned these Winged Assassins from performing live, the band’s unique style of shock and rock caused religious organizations, local city councils, parliaments, and the Washington D.C. Senate to hold hearings in an effort to bar this group from selling records and trashing stages everywhere they played.
The band’s founding member, frontman Blackie Lawless, has led the group as its lead vocalist and primary songwriter since its beginning. His unique brand of visual, social, and political comment took the group to worldwide heights and sold millions of records alongside a legacy of sold-out shows across the globe for 4 decades.

Them Damn Kings from NJ just released a new single “Shown With a Fist”.
If you like your music in your face with a touch of old school rock and roll this is the band for you. It’s got gritty vocals and pounding drums adding in some killer guitar shreds.
It’s a song that you listen to when you want to get into a bar fight or want to drive your car really fast down the highway.
It’s worth a listen, check out the lyric video below with a little bonus guitar mortal kombat shred off.

Ashes To Omens are a band from Georgia who’s latest single “Feed Me More” has a great sound to it. It reminds me of bands around the mid to late 2000s. They have a good mixture of sound. The song is a perfect blend of hard rock and metal with the vocals very crisp and delivered with passion.
The song “Feed Me More” has a great melody and works well with the bands style and genre of music. It also is a great title to a song because after listening to it I wanted more of the band.
Some will say that it’s very radio rock/metal and sometimes I do have issues with that but I felt that this song even though it does have that feel to it, isn’t just a radio rock song for the sake of being a radio rock song. I think this single is worth a listen to and could possibly be a track that might make your playlist.
