i saw them on the death across america tour with kataklysm...
great show, got auotgraphs and pics

heres a lil story for ya...

I was reading the lyrics to Opeth's My arms... when in i came across some lyrics that read: "Beyond the embrace of christ"
I was like wow that would be a cool ba....WAIT! that already is a band name
Well i suppose the lead singer came up with the band name from that lyric, he seemed to be all into opeth when i talked to him he had the "O" from opeth tattoed on his arm

...just a thought...

Beyond The Embrace kick ass... but I don't have their album, and have only heard one track from them... I have a few friends who have the album, and say it's fantastic!

fuck yeah! BTE is awesome. i was so suprised to hear the gothenburg sound from a US band. you can really hear who their influencing bands are, soilwork & in flames etc, but they are in no way a rip off. i am really pumped to hear their next album because i guarantee it will be a huge step foward and an album that defines BTE's own sound.

spread the metal... USA style

One of my absolute favorite bands for about the past year now, Against The Elements is an album everyone should at least give a chance .

For all fans of BTE, be on the lookout for Royal Carnage, the newest webzine of the metal underground (not live yet). I met with and hung out with Shawn Gallagher (vocals) and Alex Botelho (guitars) for about 3 hours last Thursday, Feb. 13th. They granted me a kick-ass interview that will eventually be transcribed and appear in the 'zine. Great, great guys, and completely down-to-earth as well. They were a trip to talk to, and if at all possible, go see them play live!

They've just been added to the NJ Metal Meltdown V in Irvington, NJ, btw. Go! Now!

thats my review of it at the metal observer.
good record!

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I read that review, and I wholeheartedly agree! In fact, TMO's interview with BTE came up when I was talking to them. Nice work!

I have been following this band since before they were on Metal BLade and just had bad sounding demos. This band is awesome. I think their next release is going to kill too and the production should be alot better.

I hope they get more attention with their next album

Great band, I hope to catch them up the day the invade Europe!

I really dig their Against the elements release. Allthough I must admit their drummer is sometimes very boring and the production is not very good. The drums sound awefully loud!

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

the_dying, you may then be happy to know that their original drummer has been replaced with a true veteran (though I apologize that his name escapes me at the moment).

Though we've only just gone live, Royal Carnage webzine will be running a lengthy feature on this deserving and underrated band in the very near future, and I guarantee it will be unlike any coverage of them to date. Though it'll be a few weeks before it's live on the site, I encourage you all to click the banner in my sig file below and get a taste of our writing style; we're proud of it and I'm confident you'll stop by more than once.

You could always drop by our new hosted forum right here at UM.com also, in which we'll regularly be updating our readers when new content has been added to the site. Cheers gang.

Saw these guys with Opeth in January. Kind of reminded me of what Metallica should have been. (That is a good thing, BTW).

I saw BTE at The Galaxy opening up for Helloween. They were awesome, and the bassist kept having conversations with my friend and me, and he gave me his pick at the end of the set. They kinda remind me of a modern day Pantera, really kick ass band.
