Factory Theatre was pretty full as they had a few acts playing in their rooms this night.
As I entered the room which at this point was full enough to walk around comfortably but also had enough bodies that had you ducking and weaving through people. It is always nice to see people turn up for an opening act.

The Omnific who are a progressive instrumental band from Melbourne kicked off the night. These lads do things a little different with having just two bass players and a drummer. This allows them to make the music that they produce incredibly unique. Whilst sitting in the same level as some of the more well-known bands in their genre this sets them apart enough to make you sit up and take notice a little more.

The bass lines intertwined but also had this feel of a chaotic mix which synced incredibly well with the rhythmically precise drumming (who also is quite animated as he smashes on the skins). You could feel the bass in your chest and all over your body; but it was at a pace that felt like a pleasant massage. They boys swapped instruments during the set but flawlessly picked up where they left off.

It was either Matthew or Toby (Sorry I don’t know your faces yet!) who spoke into the mic and said “You guys are fucking sick!” the crowd laughed and cheered at his enthusiasm to which he said “Keep that energy up!”.
The guys finished out the set and the punters who arrived early were not disappointed.

After a small break the crowd had grown and there was a solid group of people standing shoulder to shoulder at the front of the room. Between The Buried And Me took to the stage to the roar of everyone in the room.

Kicking off the evening with ‘Astral Body’ the crowd's enthusiastic response did not waiver at all from start to finish.
This band is one of the best there has been in the industry. They have this incredible ability to take a song that seems to gentle and inviting to contorting it into this death metal chunky treat.

Frontman Tommy Giles Roger, Jr who looks absolutely delightful sprouting a little bit of salt and pepper in his hair stared out into the crowd with a massive grin on his face and stated “We got old!”. Alas as did we all but considering their (still young) ages; they played like the youthful band from the beginning of their breakout careers.

The set was broken up in 2 parts; the band walked off the stage but reappeared about 10 minutes later (I wasn’t counting the time so this could be entirely inaccurate)
'Condemned to the Gallows' kicked off the second set which basically turned the crowd into what can only visually be described as a shark feeding frenzy. You could not the absolute delight on everyone's faces.

The whole night for any BTBAM fan was just perfect. It seemed as though everyone in the room got to hear one, or if not all of their favourite songs.
They finished the night with ‘White Walls’ which left everyone completely dissatisfied, but only because the night had ended. Not because of anything wrong. I mean if it were at all possible for the show to continue everyone in the room would have agreed to it.
