Tri-State Rock - Latest Updates

North Carolina prog-metal legends-in-the-making Between The Buried And Me have released the video for "Astral Body" off their highly-anticipated new LP, "The Parallax II: Future Sequence", this morning via AlternativePress. Check it out by following this link.

The video keeps with the space-related imagery that the record and its EP predecessor have been building upon and gives a unique insight into the progressing storyline that carries through both records. Likely to be the shortest BTBAM video you'll ever see, "Astral Body" defiantly crams so much rich imagery that by the time you watch it 5 times to get a solid grasp on the concept, you'll have spent as much time with it as you would most 'regular' length BTBAM tracks. 

After sending a veritable progressive metal nergasm surging through the internet last week by debuting the first new song off their upcoming record, “Telos”, BTBAM has done it AGAIN.

Last night, North Carolina progressive metal masterminds Between The Buried And Me played their first show since the end of the "Saints And Sinners" tour on December 11, 2011 at the Best Buy Theater in NYC. Those who were lucky enough to be in attendance at the show at Pop's in Sauget, Illinois were handsomely rewarded. 

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.
