Raleigh, North Carolina-based progressive rock/cutting-edge metal band Between The Buried And Me will tour Europe in October in support of its new album, the details of which are forthcoming. Support on the trek will come from Periphery and The Safety Fire. Dates are listed below.
Comments Between The Buried And Me bassist Dan Briggs: “I’m excited Europe wants to have us again! On this tour we’ll celebrate the release of our new album, so you’ll be some of the first to hear new songs… if we can actually play them by then!”
Between The Buried And Me‘s latest album, The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues, was released on April 12, 2011 via Metal Blade Records. The three-song, 30-minute tour de force was recorded at Canada’s Metalworks Studios and Rattlebox Studios and helmed by the Grammy award–winning producer David Bottrill [Tool, Muse, King Crimson, Dream Theater].
The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues represents Between The Buried And Me‘s musical and conceptual masterwork; the record showcases both the quintet’s vivid execution and ambitious vision. The otherworldly conceptual thread linking each of the songs is mobilized around two human characters that live in different planes of existence and are separated by millions of light years, each confronted with similar personal issues. Subsequently, both characters make decisions that will change their lives, and perhaps the course of the universe, forever. Musically, the release presents aura-rich atmospheres rife with roaring volumes, corrugated rhythms and trance-inducing intricacies. Cerebral and visceral, soft and heavy, melodic and abrasive, tender and brutal, familiar and strange and taut yet sprawling and epic, Between The Buried And Me has crafted a sound that is musically sophisticated yet primal and a disc where every new passage leads to the culmination of an epic adventure.
