1) Masada is an experiment… Read Full Bio ↴There are two active groups named Masada:
1) Masada is an experimental klezmer jazz collective and compositional project led by John Zorn.
It began as a "songbook" of more than 200 short compositions for small mixed ensemble, written in according to a number of rules, such as the maximum number of staves and the modes or scales used. Zorn formed the initial Masada group in order to record and perform this set of tunes. This band consisted of John Zorn - alto saxophone, Dave Douglas - trumpet, Greg Cohen - bass, and Joey Baron - drums. This iteration of Masada released the first Masada songbook on 10 discs with the Japanese DIW label, as well as live recordings on Zorn's Tzadik label.
In 2003, Zorn composed a second Masada songbook, "The Book of Angels", and vastly expanded the scope of the project by inviting dozens of artists (from multi-Grammy winners to newly-curated ensembles) to record albums for Tzadik based on Zorn's songs. In 2014, Zorn began a third and final Masada songbook, "The Book Beri'ah", which was released as an 11 disc box set in 2018. With this book, the compositional aspect of the project was completed, bringing the total number of Masada songs to 613, the number of commandments traditionally understood by Jews to be in the Torah.
As a result of the size of the project, multiple offshoot bands and ensembles have developed out of it, such as Electric Masada, Masada String Trio, Bar Kokbha, Bar Kokhba Sextet, Mycale, and Zion80.
2) Masada is a 4-piece screamo/hardcore Band from Erlangen, Germany. They released a demo in 2014 and their first album in 2016. In 2021, they unexpectedly released their sophomore album, "II".
The following short-lived acts formerly using the name are currently inactive or disbanded:
a) A hardcore band from Hamilton, New Zealand, who released two EPs via MySpace in the late 2000s.
b) A Swedish psychedelic trance and goa duo formed in 1999, consisting of producers Mathias Westin and Torsten Edwinson, who saw brief success on the MP3.com Trance chart in the early 2000s.
c) A death metal band from Philadelphia, PA, who released a two-track demo on Bandcamp in 2011.

Masada Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't explain
The mood subsides
And grows again
I've lived alone
I've held a hand
I've tried to care
And understand
What is faith
And when belief
And who knows how
These things deceive
I never said
And though I tried
If I could leave
And sleep tonight
I can't imagine
How this ever came to be
I can't imagine
How this ever came to be
The lyrics to Masada's song "Tiot" are about the complexities of emotions and relationships. The opening lines "The way you moved, I can't explain" seem to indicate that the singer is captivated by someone's movements, but can't fully articulate why. The subsequent lines about moods rising and falling suggest that the relationship between the two individuals is not stable or predictable. The next verse contains references to trying to understand and care for someone else, but ultimately failing to do so. The singer seems to be grappling with questions about faith and belief, wondering if those things can be trusted or if they ultimately lead to deception. The final lines of the song express a sense of confusion and disbelief at how the relationship came to be.
Overall, the lyrics of "Tiot" are ambiguous and allow for multiple interpretations. It's possible that the song is about a romantic relationship, but it could also be about other kinds of close connections between people. The repeated line "I can't imagine how this ever came to be" suggests that the singer is questioning the circumstances that led to the current state of affairs. The use of abstract concepts like faith and belief further complicates the meaning of the song.
Line by Line Meaning
The way you moved
I am fascinated by the manner in which you move
I can't explain
I am unable to put into words how your movements affect me
The mood subsides
My emotions calm down
And grows again
But they quickly become intense again
I've lived alone
I've been on my own
I've held a hand
I've been in a relationship
I've tried to care
I attempted to be compassionate
And understand
To comprehend and be considerate of the other person's feelings
What is faith
I ponder on what it means to have faith
And when belief
And at what point does belief become faith
And who knows how
It's unclear how these notions can be so elusive
These things deceive
One can easily be misled by these concepts
I never said
I never expressed
And though I tried
Even though I made an attempt
If I could leave
If only I could depart
And sleep tonight
And find restful slumber tonight
I can't imagine
I am unable to comprehend
How this ever came to be
How this situation even came about is beyond my understanding
I can't imagine
I am unable to fathom
How this ever came to be
How this situation even came about is beyond my understanding

Why is the breacher also the first to enter the door? Surely it would be more fluid to have one open the door and the next one in the stack enter first. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm just speculating here.

also, path of lest resistance, all that momentum put into the door its easier for him to go in than peel off out of the way.

in urban combat we first used the breacher then he pulls on guy to the side another enters on the other ,being rookies they got hit by a burst its done different now

we have a rule where the breacher is the co
even in the prisons we follow the rule after me
this means he breaches and enters, he is most experienced, his insticts were honed months and years before his men , a new man might hesitate
fluidity is sometimes compromised by hesitance
the breacher is the hod hanit ,the spear and shield ,
