BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME: New Video Interview Available

August 16, 2010

BareBonesMusic.com conducted an interview with the Raleigh, North Carolina-based progressive metalcore quintet BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME on July 23, 2010 at the Columbus, Ohio stop of the "Cool Tour". You can now watch the chat below.

BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME's latest album, "The Great Misdirect", sold 13,400 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 36 on The Billboard 200 chart.

"The Great Misdirect" was released on October 27, 2009 via Victory Records.

Vocalist Tommy Rogers told Noisecreep about BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME's Jamie King-produced follow-up to 2007's "Colors", "It's definitely a step forward for us, I think. I don't know ... when we write records, we never want to repeat ourselves, and we definitely have done that. So, I was worried when we started writing this record that we were just going to end up with something that sounds like 'Colors', and that's definitely not the case."

According to Rogers, "The Great Misdirect" is "more dynamic than we've ever been." The band, he said, tried "different things" on this record, resulting in a rather equal mix of "mellow stuff and more intense stuff. It's definitely BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME," Rogers added. "That's the coolest thing about our records. No matter what we do, it still sounds like us."

He continued, "It's a little over an hour of material, and it's definitely a lot of music. The thing with us is — yeah, we do have long songs, but we just try to never have a lot of filler. Some bands will have long songs, but half of the song will be a lot of filler. On 'Swim to the Moon' [the last track on the disc, which clocks in at over 18 minutes], there's no downtime. We try to pack everything with music, because we like to give people their money's worth."
