Between The Buried And Me: firma con Inside Out Music e annuncio del nuovo LP, primo singolo online

Comunicato stampa

Dopo 25 anni e 10 album che hanno segnato la storia della loro carriera, i BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME, nominati ai GRAMMY®, tornano con il loro disco più coinvolgente ed eclettico: “The Blue Nowhere”, in uscita il 12 settembre 2025 su Inside Out Music. Questo disco rappresenta anche il debutto della band per l’etichetta tedesca.

Secondo Tommy Rogers, cantante noto per i suoi album concettuali questa raccolta di 10 tracce “esiste in un mondo che non è legato a una trama. Si tratta piuttosto di una sensazione, in cui le canzoni vivono per me”. Egli descrive inoltre l’approccio lirico di “The Blue Nowhere” come “voci di diario, pensieri fugaci e introspettivi, a volte caotici, a seconda della musica”.

Disponibile il primo singolo “Things We Tell Ourselves in the Dark” con il video diretto da Miles Skarin

Prodotto dal collaboratore di lunga data Jamie King, “The Blue Nowhere” è anche il primo album dei Between the Buried and Me a presentare un’ampia sezione di archi e corni. È disponibile in edizione speciale su CD2LP con copertina apribile e in formato digitale. L’edizione deluxe Gatefold Special Colored 2LP + 2CD include una traccia bonus sul lato D, l’intero album e i brani strumentali su 2CD, un esclusivo door-hanger e un artwork alternativo. I preordini sono disponibili da domani su Betweentheburiedandme.com.

Director Miles Skarin shares insight into the clip:
“For ‘Things We Tell Ourselves In The Dark,’ we wanted to create the hotel from the album concept and artwork – we 3D-modeled the hotel based on the artwork and began to create shots of it at different times of day. Marigold is a theme across the record, so we have a scene where lots of marigold petals start to cover the hotel. This was quite an intense particle simulation that took 17 hours to process and render. We also added surreal elements to the video, including infinite hotel corridors and strange space sequences with the doors to the different rooms in the hotel. We’re really pleased with the final look and hope that everyone enjoys seeing the hotel come to life!”

“This track emerged from the maniac genius of Dan Briggs,” Rogers shares. “The song deals with the dark cloud that is ego, so I tried to vocally approach it with a different kind of confidence than normal, almost like a pop song… even though it takes you down crazy avenues, you can sit back and sing along.”

Dan Briggs adds: “It’s one of the rare songs I started around the bass and that foundational funky idea, while also maintaining a pretty straightforward melodic idea underneath everything, no matter how dense it got rhythmically. I love when we have arrangements that feel like they have a page turn into another dimension, but I thought it was important for this one to feel really seamless as it moved dynamically. Even when it gets heavy, I thought it’d be fun at the core to still feel like it was Prince’s band playing, keeping it funky.”

Between the Buried and Me have built a reputation as one of heavy music’s most forward-thinking and creatively ambitious bands. Over the past 25 years, they have released ten albums, from their 2002 self-titled debut to 2021’s Colors II, blending technical mastery with conceptual depth. Throughout their career their albums have consistently landed on year-end best-of lists, earned a GRAMMY® nomination in 2019 (with the award’s website praising their music as “versatile, imaginative and absolutely crushing the band’s music”), been dubbed “prog metal heroes” by Kerrang!, and praised by Guitar World for their “epic” and “hugely diverse” sound.
