Progressive metal visionaries Between the Buried and Me return with their most immersive and eclectic record yetThe Blue Nowhere, their first on InsideOutMusic. Mixing uncharted musical detours with their distinctive aggressive identity, the band create a conceptual world unlike anything in their incredible catalog, inviting the listener to experience the journey on their own terms. Though the story takes place in a hotelThe Blue Nowheredont expect haunted corridors or shadowy figures behind every door. Its more of a feelingthose moments when you feel alone in the world and use that solitude to reflect on the human experience, Rogers clarifies. It exists in a space where no one can find you, hidden from all forms of reality- Thats The Blue Nowhere. Trying something new is not unusual for the group, who once again find ways to expand their musical palette while maintaining the bands core sound. No more surprising is the album opener, Things We Tell Ourselves in the Dark, which sets the tone with INXS & Duran Duran-inspired textures, even incorporating 90125-era Yes, filtered through BTBAMs signature chaos. Meanwhile, Absent Thereafter is a quintessential BTBAM track. Layered, intense, and unrelentingly dynamic, this 10+ minute opus delivers everything a BTBAM fan could want and more. Between the Buried and Me remain allergic to stagnation, and The Blue Nowhere proves their creative drive is stronger than ever. It feels like a natural evolution for the band, says Rogers. Were not repeating ourselves. Were lucky to have a fanbase thats along for the ride.
