North Carolina-based progressive rock/cutting-edge metal band Between The Buried And Me have released a stream of their track ‘Memory Palace.’ It’s taken from their eighth album, “Coma Ecliptic,” which will be released on July 10 via Metal Blade Records. The song can be streamed in the soundcloud player below.
“Coma Ecliptic” tour, named after the group’s forthcoming album, for July through August in North America. The trek features support from Animals as Leaders along with openers The Contortionist. The tour will be Between The Buried And Me‘s first official set of dates following the release of “Coma Ecliptic. Dates and locations are listed below.
“Coma Ecliptic” is, once again, an ambitious concept album. This time, the story follows the wanderings of an unidentified man, stuck in a coma, as he journeys through his past lives. Each song is its own episode in a modern day, sort of “The Twilight Zone”-esque fashion. The unidentified man enters each world and is offered a choice: stay, or move on to the next in search of something better, something more “perfect.”
“Coma Ecliptic” boasts a series of emotive peaks and valleys that drive the narrative along with the lyrics. Singer Tommy Rogers shares: ‘Coma Ecliptic is a new life for BTBAM. Throughout the process we worked harder than we ever have and really pushed the BTBAM sound to a new identity. In a world of repetition, I’m very proud to be a part of something that is extremely rewarding, as well as frightening. When you don’t push yourself you will never know what the outcome is. The outcome is “Coma Ecliptic.”‘
“Coma Ecliptic” was recorded in January and February of 2015 with longtime Between the Buried and Me producer Jamie King at Basement Recordings in North Carolina. Drums and piano were recorded with King and Kris Hilbert at the Fidelitorium. Final mixing and mastering was placed in the capable hands of Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia, Amon Amarth, Devin Townsend) at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden.
