Big-headed, dynamic, heavy, melodic, technically challenging: none of these words really capture 'Between the Buried and Me's' sonic artwork. Faced with the task of describing their latest album, 'The Parallax II: Future Sequence', Decibel Magazine said the record offered "more substance than most bands have offered during their entire career," and Metal Hammer simply deemed it "extremely gripping."
What's next for a progressive band in full juice after a record like this? Their seventh opus, 'Coma Ecliptic', brings the answer. Lasting just over an hour, the album represents a significant step forward for both the group as a whole and the individual musicians.
Tommy Rogers: "'Coma Ecliptic' is like a new life for BTBAM. During its creation, we worked more doggedly than ever, giving our sound a fresh identity. In a world of repetition, I'm proud to be a part of something so rewarding, but also scary. If you don't push yourself to your limits, you'll never know what's possible. For us, that very thing was Coma Ecliptic."
