Biography

Raleigh NC, United States (2000 – present)

Between the Buried and Me is a band from Raleigh, North Carolina, comprised of former members of acts Prayer For Cleansing and Glass Casket. They have released six albums in addition to a covers album and an EP. Their style is diverse, with influences ranging from , , , and , to or artists such as Dream Theater, Mike Patton, King Crimson, Queen, and The Mars Volta.

The ideas introduced in The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues are expanded in The Parallax II: Future Sequence, their first full length on Metal Blade Records since switching from Victory Records. “This whole process was a lot of work, and it’s definitely the most rewarding piece of music we’ve ever written,” says vocalist/keyboardist and co-founder Tommy Giles Rogers, Jr. (Thomas Giles; ex-Prayer For Cleansing, Undying, From Here On). Other members include lead guitarist and co-founder Paul Waggoner (ex-Prayer For Cleansing, Undying); Glass Casket guitarist Dustie Waring and drummer Blake Richardson; and bassist Dan Briggs (Trioscapes, ORBS). Combined with the EP, Parallax II creates a sprawling one hundred minute suite that explores the concepts of death and rebirth, astral projection, and the redemption of humanity; and further evolves the sharply intricate and brutally heavy sound which has been developing since the project formed in 2000.

    It's so stupid they took them off metal archives. How can you blacklist a prog/tech death band? Proper metal snobbery right there ha

    Liked them since "Colors," loved them since "The Great Misdirect," and obsessed with them since "The Parallax." I can't wait to hear what they deliver next, even if I have to wait beyond 2015, it's totally worth it.

    His vocals bother me in Orbs sometimes, but not really in Fear Before the March of Flames.

    Well, last year they created a lot of hype by creating a facebook page and saying they would be recording at least one more album "in the future". So now we wait. From the new projects spawned from their demise, the only one so far that really interests me is "In Colour". IMO "Aliases" is alright, but it feels like a step down for Pin :(
