Between the Buried and Me are a and the next they're flowing into death metal growls and thick guitar riffs... the metal take on things can seemingly change in a flash as lead singer Tommy Rogers fleshes out his vocals and utilizes the keyboards to create something that sounds more like it should be on a Smashing Pumpkins album".10 On their covers album, The Anatomy Of , the band pays tribute to many of their diverse influences, ranging from Pantera to Pink Floyd .11 The band's name is derived from a section of lyrics in Counting Crows ’ song "Ghost Train": "Took the cannonball down to the ocean/Across the desert from the sea to shining sea/I rode a ladder that climbed across the nation/Fifty million feet of earth between the buried and me." BIOGRAPHY The band was founded in early 2001 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina by vocalist Tommy Rogers (From Here On, Undying, Prayer For Cleansing ), guitarist Paul Waggoner (Prayer for Cleansing), drummer Will Goodyear (Voids, Prayer for Cleansing), guitarist Nick Fletcher (Azazel), and bassist Jason King (Azazel) Official Site . The band released their self titled debut on Life Force Records . The music style varied between the songs with hints of hardcore metal, hair metal, jazz, and thrash. This album includes the track "Arsonist" which is a protest to the beliefs and practices of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka Kansas. This album is not widely known and the tracks are rarely played live. The record did garner the attention of Victory Records to which they later signed. In 2003, the band released their second album, "Silent Circus." This album is a natural progression of the band's previous work, featuring more complex music and more layers. The hit track "Mordecai" was also produced as their first music video. The album was re-released in 2006 with a DVD which included a full live performance in Carrboro, North Carolina, an interview with the band, and three music videos: "Mordecai," "Alaska," and "Slumber Party(a single from Tommy Rogers under the name "Giles")." In 2005, Between The Buried And Me released their third album, "Alaska," which showed their evolving and changing style even more than before. The title track "Alaska" became their second music video. The speed of the music on this album constantly changes, moving from fast to slow, to fast, to faster. The depth of the music truly shows how advanced Between The Buried And Me truly are. In 2006, the band also released "The Anatomy Of..." which is a collection of covers from the bands that inspired Between The Buried And Me. They include Metallica , Queen , Pink Floyd , Earth Crisis , and Counting Crows . Bassist Dan Briggs of Erie, Pennsylvania replaced Jason King as the band's bass guitarist. Briggs has also been a member of Espinaca, Nemo, and MFWC. Members of the band are also Vegan , with the exceptions of Dusty and Blake. On June 13th, 2007 the band confirmed that their fourth studio album, ''Colors'', will see a release on September 18th, 2007. The band has said that "it's a 65 minute opus of non stop pummeling beautiful music... we have described this release as 'new wave polka grunge'".12 TOURING In early 2006, Between the Buried and Me was on tour supporting Bleeding Through along with Every Time I Die and Haste The Day .
