Thousand Below @ Turntable

Thousand Below

It speaks for itself when an intimate show at a venue with no barricade can summon multiple crowdsurfers (that the lead singers helped catch) and a mosh pit that didn’t stop, and that’s exactly what happened on Saturday night at Turntable in Indianapolis, IN for Lost In Separation, acres, and Thousand Below. 

Thousand Below is one of the most underrated bands in metalcore, and their live performance further proves how immensely talented they are. The vocals are immaculate, tones are perfectly dialed in, and the band performs as a unit completely in sync that puts them at the top of my list for bands i’ve seen live. Alongside the music itself sounding better than recorded versions, the band is encapsulating to watch on stage. While the production was simple, consisting of two slash shaped lights on each side of the drummer, my attention was hooked and the band kept the crowd fully engaged. To the right side of a room was an impressive mosh pit for a smaller sized venue that never let their energy dropped, and took on the task of helping people crowdsurf which is a huge accomplishment in a venue with no barricade or security to help catch them. Vocalist James Deburg wore a smile everytime he helped catch the surfers on stage as he ensured their safety and a great show simultaneously. Their setlist focused on songs off their most recent album, Buried In Jade, by opening with “Kerosene” and “Palace of Dread” and sprinkling other hits through the set. The band also threw it back to 2017 with “Sinking Me” and “The Love You Let to Close”. The night slowed down slightly for “Save Me” and perfectly closed with “Sabotage”. Thousand Below is a band you don’t want to sleep on or miss.
