BTBAM/Cynic/Hevy Devy/Scale The Summit...The Other Great Progressive Metal Tour??? - Wednesday, October 21, 2009 3:45 PM
Only one date announced so far but still...

BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME
CYNIC
DEVIN TOWNSEND
SCALE THE SUMMIT

January 9 - Atlanta, GA @ The Masquerade



This tour looks fucking incredible!!!

Looks like 2010 is going to be my dream year of tours. I'm praying to the gods, there will be a MN date.

WTF awesome!!!

I was expecting a Devy headlining tour, but this would be pretty damn cool.

One thing I did realize about this show. The names are in alphabetical order. It could be in a different lineup order.

I know it was a joke, but I can't picture BTBAM, Cynic, or Scale The Summit doing that since all three bands have played with DT recently. Devin most likely isn't even in MP's radar. I don't remember Mike ever mentioning Devin Townsend.

DT and DT touring together?
Even for prog nerds, having two exact abbreviations together is way too complicated.

That is one Hell of a line-up.  I said in another thread I wouldn't travel to England to see just BTBAM, but with that line-up I would certainly make the effort.

UK dates please!

I thought of that too. Is BTBAM touring with anyone else in December? maybe it's a December/January tour. Or maybe a 3 week US tour or something similar?

I think you are right that it would have to be a december & january tour as the tour with veil of maya and animals as leaders goes until the end of november. Then europe in february.

I am super pumped for the cd release party on halloween! less than a week until the great misdirect release date and i will have only 5 days to digest it before the show.

I hope they announce some Florida dates, but man, Atlanta isn't too far...

Just out of curiosity, where'd you get the info?

It's been flooded in a lot of metal forums. The venue on one forum confirmed it a few hours ago.

I know you're just joking, but I still couldnt help but be offended by this stupid post...
 
You do realize I've given 3 out of 4 of them opening slots for DT over the past couple years, right???
 
If anything, they are not thinking "fuck you" to me or DT - but rather "thank you" to me for exposing/sharing them with our audience and are now joining forces to capitalize on it and continue to develop on their own...
 
Anyways, it's indeed a GREAT bill....I love all the bands and artists on it (musically and personally), I consider them all friends of mine and wish them all the best....

Devin most likely isn't even in MP's radar. I don't remember Mike ever mentioning Devin Townsend.

 
Met and hung with Devin for a while on PN08 in Vancouver...
Very cool guy and I admire his artistic vision as well....
 
BTW, there's a 4th DT:
Dream Theater
Devin Townsend
Dark Tranquility
Dangerous Toys

Oh no, sorry about that. I obviously wouldn't think thats the case haha, I just had a silly mental picture of you inviting them on Prog Nation and then them keeping you out of their kind of  super cool club - was just a goofy comment, sorry MP! 
I know you gave most of them support slots, that's why I thought it was funny to picture them all teaming up together. ack.

So Mike, you are now 4/4 proving me wrong here at the forum. It feels good to be proven wrong by the best, Touche'

Dangerous Toys are back together? I guess I didn't realize it. Was their word on a new album?

I emailed both BTBAM and Scale The Summit. They have been good responding to my personal emails any time that I have sent one. So maybe I'll be able to get an answer from them tonight or tomorrow?

In a perfect world, Dream Theater would be bringing this tour group along with Pain Of Salvation and Long Distance Calling to the USA.

Until that day comes, and as long as there is an MN. This is an amazing Progressive Metal tour.

I hope DT and PN keep getting more and more successful until they could do an all day prog-festival-tour-thingy.  That would be absolutely incredible!  

I mean, DT has already brought a lot of my favorite bands with them, but to be able to see a giant tour like that, capped off with DT, might be the greatest concert ever.

It would be the greatest show I'd ever see. But the only problem with that for me is, the only place around here that would be capable of pulling off an all day show like this only allows Country Music (MN/WI fans know the one I'm talking about). So unless they worked out a deal somewhere else, they'd be skipping this area.

But I wanna focus (haha Cynic pun) on happy tours like this one.

Didn't Scale The Summit go on tour with Protest The Hero for awhile a few years back?

I never go to concerts but the two artists I have wanted to see more than any are Cynic and Devin Townsend.  Now they are together.... please, whatever deity is out there, point them towards Wisconsin.  I'm too poor to go anywhere else.

If there only stop around here is Wisconsin, I'm fucked.

I only live an hour and 15 minutes from St. Paul, MN. I live about 7 hours from Milwaukee. There's no way I can afford that.

I wish it were just Devin and BTBAM, really.  I don't like STS too much, maybe I should try getting into Cynic again.

Anyways, it's indeed a GREAT bill....I love all the bands and artists on it (musically and personally), I consider them all friends of mine and wish them all the best....

So, does that mean DT for PN10?




I'll take what I can get, but I hope we get evening with soon.  I think 2000 was the last year we got an evening with in Florida. I have never been to one and I hope to go to one one day.  Regardless of what it is, I'll be there!

wait so is BTBAM really headlining because i was hoping that they won't be because personally i can't stand them. don't get me wrong, they're great musicians and all but the vocalist ruins the music in my opinion.

^^Look at it this way, Since they are headlining you won't have to sit through them and hate it. 

But honestly, the lineup posted by the OP is the most likely scenario.  What an amazing set of bands!  I'm optimistic that this tour will go west coast since we got shafted on the BTBAM/Animals as Leaders tour.

well, i guess. you got a point there. but yeah i do have to agree the line up is pretty killer. i would also love to animals as leaders as well. i found out about them a while ago and i really dig their stuff. i seriously hope that devin, cynic and sts will also come over to the west coast.

I read Dev's forum, and he mentioned that his band is in rehearsals, and he'll be playing both old (solo project) and new (Ziltoid, Ki, Addicted) material. He especially mentioned wanting to do some of the stuff on Physicist "right".

The Dev
Rehearsals are going great, I'll tell you what, the Ziltoid material is insane. After the DTP, I have a pretty solid feeling there will be a new chapter of Ziltoid...there's some very interesting things going on in his 'live' world...I'll keep you posted.

It is awesome that Devin is getting Ziltoid to do another album. I was starting to think it wasn't going to happen.

I don't like anyone in the lineup except Devin Townsend, but I'd still go to this show anyway just for him.  As long as Devin Townsend somehow ends up playing in Chicago, I'll be a happy camper.

I'm fairly confident that there will at least be one off-date where some of these bands (specifically Devy) come up to Canada. I know SYL did it last time they were on Ozzfest, so I could see Devy doing it again for this tour if they don't have a full lineup date up here.

That being said, this lineup is AMAZING. I'm almost more excited for this than I was for the original Prog Nation '09 lineup.

It's not often I miss the US. On the rare occasion I want to shop at 4AM. Or that I want decent Mexican food (or hamburger....or steak....or anything non-fondue-food-related)

It's even far, far less often I miss living in Kentucky. But that moment has struck.

I'm not familiar with Scale the Summit. I saw Cynic open for DT and I dig Traced in Air.

But the other two.....just, damn.

Kind of sucks the Chicago show is on a Sunday.  I will be on my new work schedule then and will get off at 6:30pm.  Hopefully the show starts late enough to where I can get there in time for Devin Townsend, because he's really the only one I have any interest in seeing.
