Upcoming Bullshit

NEW BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME RECORD COMING THIS FALL!

 Tuesday, March 17th, 2009 at 11:25am by

between the buried and meBetween the Buried and Me are one of those kinda-polarizing metal bands; you other love ‘em or you don’t get ‘em. But judging by feedback on this site, it seems like most of you love ‘em, and I’m 100% certain that more of you would love them if not for the fact that they’re on a record label not exactly known for its quality metal output. And what’s not to like? Their 2007 opus Colors ranked on not only the year-end lists of Kip Wingerschmidt and yours truly, but sent shockwaves that emanated through musical circles not usually known for embracing heavy music in the slightest.

So: Lambgoat reports that the band is wrapping up writing for their next record which they plan to begin recording May 31st with long-time producer / genre-master Jamie King.

This is boner-worthy news to be sure. Will BTBAM make their heaviest record to date or will they continue on in the prog/experimental direction they’ve been going since Alaska? My bets — and hopes — are on the latter, but I’m sure there’s a core of original BTBAM fans who think everything after The Silent Circus is garbage. Colors is going to be hard to top, but if ever there’s a band that strives to push themselves to get better and better, Between the Buried and Me is that band.

Check out my interview with bassist Dan Briggs and singer Tommy Rogers — conducted this past summer when the band was out supporting The Black Dahlia Murder and Children of Bodom — in which the pair offer a glimpse into where their minds are at regarding the musical direction of the next record.

On a completely unrelated note, I’m finally listening to Chris Cornell’s Scream as I type this. Holy fuck; what a steaming pile of dogshit. Amazon, I want my $2.99 back.

    YES!!!

    Holy shit…. 2009 could be one of the best years for releases yet..!

  • ZapBranigan

    Colors Live is fucking phenomenal. I bought it about 2 months ago and I keep going back to it even after I got the new Lamb of God & the new God Forbid. It’s so fucking good. You gotta check it out.

    Man, reading this makes me miss Dead to Fall. Sure, they’re “scene” or whatever you want to label them, but they’re the only other “metalcore” band I can think of offhand who were constantly showing progression in their sound…unlike a couple bands mentioned in this article.

  • Carter

    Yeah.. I can’t wait. How do you follow up Colors? That CD is so cool.

  • Kye

    Seeing these guys in April with He is Legend(not sure who I’m more excited about) and I’m really hoping to hear some new stuff

  • benbag

    off the subject but yes dead to fall for metalcore fuckin ruled.. im a die hard btbam fan colors is the best album they have put out but my favorite is still the silent circus. new cd is gonna be incredible

    “Colors” is amazing. I just caught onto this band earlier this year. Their new album will be one of the best albums of 2009 I’m sure. They said that it will blow away “Colors.”

  • hackman

    literally asked myself this morning, “when’s there gonna be a new btbam album?” questions and prayers answered. if you don’t at least think colors is one of the most amazing pieces of music you’ve ever graced upon your ears then your musical opinion means nothing. it won’t be too long before colors is recognized as the dark side of the moon of metal, if not our entire generation. never have i had such high expectations for album, tool included.

  • razorsharp codpiece

    Man I miss DTF too, alot. and god am I fucking excited for new btbam

  • iolanach

    Best news of the week. After “Gorguts are reuniting” of course.

  • Tyler

    This willbe awesome. Saw them live about 6 weeks ago, and they were phenominal. I couldn’t believe how tight they were, given how intricate ‘Colors’ is on record.

  • Ben

    “You other love ‘em or you don’t get ‘em”=one of the most retarded arguments used for anything in the history of mankind. You should really read “The Emperor’s New Clothes”

    That’s not to say I don’t love BTBAM, I do.

  • Mesh

    I saw them at Progressive Nation and couldn’t figure out what the hell they were doing there. But I do hate core bands so whatever.

  • Louie22

    I’m watching their live DVD, RIGHT fucking now…the shit NEVER gets old. To think of what they come up with as a follow up to Colors is just downright terrifying.

  • Lebowski

    Colors Live is the most amazing thing I’ve seen in a very long time. If watching that DVD didn’t make you a BTBAM fan…you’re a poser.

    i fucking adore them, their music theory is soooo fucking insane. WOW. im in shock right now.

  • jose

    hahaha that lebowskidude is funny… anyways, im sure their new album is gonna be better than “colors”… theyve always found a way to top their prevoius albums.. and i dont see how that could be a problem now…..
