Globally celebrated progressive rock/cutting-edge metal innovators BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME (aka BTBAM) will release their new album The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues on April 12, 2011 through Metal Blade Records. The three-song strong, 30 minute tour de force was recorded at Canada’s Metalworks Studios and Rattlebox Studios and produced/engineered by the Grammy award–winning David Bottrill (Tool, Muse, King Crimson, Dream Theater, etc.) with BTBAM.
The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues represents BTBAM‘s musical and conceptual masterwork; the record showcases both the quintet’s vivid execution and ambitious vision. The otherworldly conceptual thread linking each of the songs is mobilized around two human characters that live in different planes of existence and are separated by millions of light years, each confronted with similar personal issues. Subsequently, both characters make decisions that will change their lives, and perhaps the course of the universe, forever.
Musically, the release presents aura-rich atmospheres rife with roaring volumes, corrugated rhythms and trance-inducing intricacies. Cerebral and visceral, soft and heavy, melodic and abrasive, tender and brutal, familiar and strange and taut yet sprawling and epic, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME has crafted a sound that is musically sophisticated yet primal and a disc where every new passage leads to the culmination of an epic adventure.
Track listing:
1.) Specular Reflection
2.) Augment of Rebirth
3.) Lunar Wilderness
