1. You can stream Buried Inside’s super awesomelicious new album, The Spoils of Failure, here. I’ve been trying to get you guys excited about this record for awhile now and I don’t know how good a job I’ve done, so, for the love of all things holy: GO LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM ALL THE WAY THROUGH AT LEAST ONCE. If you don’t like it you don’t like it, but it deserves your attention, damn it.
2. If you’ve got the blues and need a good belly laugh, you can stream Dope’s new album, Antichrist Nobodies No Regrets, here. But don’t go there looking for good music; there’s none to be found.

I’m gonna get some of you to buy the new Buried Inside album if it kills me.

Last month the band posted a new song, “V,” on their MySpace page; the song comes off of Spoils of Failure, the band’s first new album in what feels like for-ev-er. Now a second new song, “II” (I’m noticing a theme here), has also been posted.

And it’s awesome. This band is just awesome. I’m pretty confident that this album is gonna be awesome. Check out the song and revel in the awesome awesomeness with me.

Spoils of Failure will be out on Relapse on March 3 here in the States and March 9 everywhere else. Awesome!

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.

Buried Inside’s 2005 Chronoclast was one of my favorite slices of post-hardcore this decade, if not ever; it was a truly corrosive, haunting work (Converge fans who don’t know the album are truly robbing themselves of experiencing something special). Having not heard a peep from the band since its release, I kind of assumed they were dead and, well, buried.

Not so, says Lambgoat, who just posted the following release from the band:

“Despite what may seem like complete inactivity, Buried Inside are not broken up. Not even close. The writing for the follow-up to Chronoclast is nearing completion and pre-production has been underway for the last couple of months. Arrangements are being ironed out for the upcoming recording, and barring any obstacles, a release date is expected for January 2009.”

Wow. I suddenly have a record to get excited about for next ear.

In case you don’t know these dudes, here’s a track from Chronoclast… check it out, it is most definitely worth your time:
