News : Between the Buried and Me announce Australian tour with Chon

By on October 6, 2015

Between the Buried and Me are an incredible live band, simply put. They’re both astonishingly tight and full of energy at the same time. Plus the latest album is fantastic which is a nice bonus. So, this tour is exciting;

“Grandiose, dynamic, heavy, melodic, technically challenging: these are all words that fall equally short when trying to describe BTBAM’s sonic offerings. Following up their utterly captivating The Parallax II album was almost an impossible task but with album number seven, Coma Ecliptic (2015, Metal Blade) they have managed to take a significant evolutionary step forward that pushed every member to their creative limits.

The result is a modern rock opera. An ambitious concept album that follows a man in a coma with each song representing his next move in search for a way out and onto something better, but is it better than his own waking reality? Through these immense songs, the bands message is clear, appreciate the things you have, not long for the things you want and miss whats truly important.

Joining BTBAM are San Diego natives Chon who’s instrumental sonics incorporates prog rock and jazz with lightning fast picking, staccato drumming and creative melodies that forge to bring something fresh and uniquely their own to the table. Forming in 2008 they quickly caused waves in their local scene before being offered to play with bands like Animals As Leaders and Circa Survive. This will be Chon’s first trip to Australia and you can guarantee it won’t be their last! The Sumerian Records signees will leave fans instantly impressed.”
