When we spoke to Dan Briggs, bassist of North Carolina progressive-metal masters Between The Buried And Me, about his new jazz-fusion side project "Trioscapes" in March - it was remarkably difficult NOT to ask a barrage of questions about the new BTBAM record. At the time, all that we were able to get out of Briggs was that we could expect a release date that would fall sometime around the group’s European tour, which allowed us to deduce that we’d be looking at yet another October release.

Between the Buried and Me fans have a lot to be excited about lately.  The progressive metal band is scheduled to tour the US this summer providing direct support to Cannibal Corpse on the Summer Slaughter Tour.  The band has also been busy writing their new album, which hasn’t been titled yet (but may be "Parallax 2" or something like it), in their home state of North Carolina.  And now the globally celebrated innovators will return to Europe in October 2012 in support of their new album.

A few weeks ago, Dan Briggs of Between The Buried And Me called into Tri-State Rock to talk about both the BTBAM writing session, as well as his exciting new jazz fusion/progressive side project known as Trioscapes, the archive of which can be viewed here. Consisting of Dan Briggs on bass, Walter Fancourt on Saxophone and flute & Matt Lynch on drums, Trioscapes is a fury of musicianship that will both perplex and satisfy simultaneously. 

 

Currently, only two tracks are available from the instrumental trio, entitled "Blast Off" and "Wazzlejazzlebof", both of which are remarkably complex and fun. However, it seems that those fans out there who have been pining for more music from the North Carolina three-piece won't have to wait much longer.
