Between the Buried and me
BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME was found in 2000 in Raleigh, North Carolina. The band's name is derived from a section of lyrics in the COUNTING CROWS song, ‘Ghost Train’. As of 2011, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME released five studio albums, as well as a cover album and a live DVD/CD. Their musical style is described as a blend of mainly metalcore, progressive metal and death metal, sometimes leaving their audience confused. The band’s latest studio album called ‘The Great Misdirect’ was released in 2009. In 2011 the band switched labels and released their First EP entitled ‘The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues’. Over the years, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME has toured with big names IN FLAMES, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, CHILDREN OF BODOM and many more.
Animals as Leaders
ANIMALS AS LEADERS is an instrumental progressive metal band from Washington, D.C. formed in 2007. The name ANIMALS AS LEADERS was inspired by Daniel Quinn's 1992 novel Ishmael, which addresses anthropocentrism. Their self-titled debut album was released in 2009 by Prosthetic Records. Multi-tasking guitar player Abasi recorded most guitar and bass tracks on the album; a few guitar solos, drums and various synthesized effects were programmed by an engineer. Both ANIMALS AS LEADERS’s guitar players Abasi and Reyes are also members of the super group T.R.A.M alongside former THE MARS VOLTA wind instrumentalist Adrian Terrazas and SUICIDAL TENDENCIES drummer Eric Moore. Since the release of their first album, ANIMALS AS LEADERS has done extensive touring including the 2010 Summer Slaughter tour with amongst others DECAPITATED and ALL SHALL PERISH. Since then they have also toured with more mainstream acts like CIRCA SURVIVE and DREDG and headlined their first tour.
