Post-depressive black metal project formed in London in late 2024 by Der Abt. Their debut In The Middle Of Chaos blends sorrowful guitar riffs with ambient tones and desperate vocals, exploring sadness, regret, and guilt through slow-paced atmospheric black metal.
Between The Buried And Me have been progressive metal's most fearless adventurers since forming in Raleigh, North Carolina in 2000. Albums like 'Colors' and the two-part 'Parallax' epic redefined what extreme music could encompass, seamlessly weaving death metal, jazz fusion, country, and electronic music into sprawling compositions that can shift genres mid-measure. Their technical mastery is matched only by their compositional ambition, making each album a journey through the entire spectrum of heavy music.
