American Progressive Metal band BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME has dropped an official music video for the title track of their upcoming album“The Blue Nowhere”, out on September 12th via InsideOut Music.
Speaking about the new song, guitarist Paul Waggoner says: “ ‘The Blue Nowhere’ is perhaps the most glaringly peculiar track on the album, in that it is an exercise in simplicity… something we aren’t exactly known for. We built most of the tune from just a very basic chordal vamp, which really captured a vibe that we wanted to live in for the duration of the song. There are a few dynamic shifts in there but they are much more subtle than folks might expect. We love how this thing turned out, and feel like it sits perfectly in the context of the album as a whole.”
Pre-orders are available here.
The band’s North American tour with HAIL THE SUN featuring support on select dates from DELTA SLEEP and THE WORLD IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE & I AM NO LONGER AFRAID TO DIE kicks off later this month. Ticketing links are available via Betweentheburiedandme.com.

BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME have built a reputation as one of heavy music’s most forward-thinking and creatively ambitious bands.

Throughout their career their albums have consistently landed on year-end best-of lists, and earned a Grammy nomination in 2019 (with the award’s website praising their music as “versatile, imaginative and absolutely crushing the band’s music”).
