Duuuuuuude. I feel like I’ve been waiting for-ev-er for a new Buried Inside album. Their last, 2005′s Chronoclast, was nothing short of a masterpiece, but its release was nearly four years ago, and since then, there’s been zip, zilch, zero, nuthin’, nada, bupkas.

Well, the band FINALLY has a new album coming out, Spoils of Failure, and have posted a new song, “V,” on their MySpace page. And it strikes me as totally worth the wait: few bands combine dirty, blindingly mad rabid dog viciousness with epic, introspective beauty as well as these dudes do. Check it out NOW – it is easily one of my most anticipated albums of the new year.

Relapse will release the Kurt Ballou-produced Spoils of Failure on March 3 here in the U.S. and March 9 everywhere else.
