He clarified that he meant that the pit was small, not that he thought that a bunch of babies were running around in a pit, because that would be weird of course. Dan mentioned Bury Tomorrow playing Graspop a couple of times already and he said there were always very large circle pits, not like this baby circle pit he was seeing this night in the AB. This night we moshed, we did wall of deaths, we crowdsurfed, we did it all. Dan said he wanted us to have a good show that was worth our money, since it’s not easy right now with everything being so expensive. But it came from the bottom of his heart and the crowd noticed. Lead singer Daniel Winter-Bates didn’t want to sound cheesy by saying thank you all the time, and he didn’t sound cheesy, but he did say thank you all the time. After the show, the band went to the merch stand to talk to the fans and sign CDs and t-shirts.īury Tomorrow put everything in a show that a fan, or even somebody that doesn’t know the band, wants from a concert. Novelists was asked to join Bury Tomorrow and August Burns Red last minute to join them on tour. And even though it was only the first band of the night, the room was moving! Moshpits and walls of death, if you can get people to do that that early in the night, you are a good performer and a good band. They started with ‘ Terrorist’, and closed with ‘ Lost Cause’, which is also the closing track of the album. Novelists only got to play about nine songs, with most of the setlist representing their latest album ‘ Deja Vu’ that was released on September 2, 2022. I personally would have enjoyed to see more of the band instead of their outlines. The lights were mostly behind the band, so either you can say it gave a cool look, to only see the outlines of the band and a light show behind them, or you can say that you could only see shadow people on stage. While Tobias was saying his thanks, both guitarists Florestan Durand and Pierre Danel took their time and sat on the front of the stage. The band showed a lot of respect for Kubrick as well as for the crowd. He wasn’t able to attend the first shows in the UK on this tour, and he had Kubrick sing his lines for him. This show was the first show for singer Tobias Rische. They brought progressive metalcore form France and Germany. I'm sure there are a few mistakes, and I simply can't figure out one of the final riffs - it is a variation of stupid sick slidey, legato riff that accompanies the crushing double-bass section and outro. I figured this tab out by studying JB Brubaker's Playthrough.

And even if you can make sense of them, they don't match how ABR actually play this. There are a few tabs of this online, but they don't make much sense at all. I haven't noted down the palm-mutes, they should be obvious.

This isn't perfect, but you should be able to figure out the vast majority of the song through this. The last breakdown has elements of previous riffs in it, but you should be able to figure this out on your own. I haven't tabbed out the breakdowns-they're so ridiculous (almost as ridiculous as JB's picking technique) I can't be asked to try wrap my head around them at the moment. This is one of my favourite songs - the drumming is immense - and ABR riffs have often alluded me for their structural complexity and annoying rhythm. The following is a basic guitar tab of August Burns Red's Composure.
