Gallery: Between The Buried And Me & The Acacia Strain Live at The Opera House, Toronto, CA

The legendary progressive metal band Between the Buried and Me is currently out on the road in North America for The Colors Experience Tour, which is a celebration of two separate albums from the band’s catalog: Colors (2007), and Colors II (2021). This tour sees the band performing two nights in each city, playing all of Colors on the first night, and Colors II on the second night. Their Toronto stop brought them to The Opera House on March 18th and 20th for two nights of heavy, technical metal music, with guitar solos, blast beats, and time signature changes galore. Between the Buried and Me is joined on this tour by The Acacia Strain, a deathcore band who has had a prolific career of over 20 years. In keeping with the tour’s theme, The Acacia Strain is also playing different albums each night, along with other songs to fill out the set.

Here are some of the killer moments of the evening:
