BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME (aka BTBAM) have announced a European tour in support of their new album, The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues, which will also include ANIMALS AS LEADERS. The band's complete live itinerary can be found below.

Between The Buried And Me will release its new album, The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues, on April 12th via Metal Blade Records. The three-song strong, 30 minute tour de force was recorded at Canada's Metalworks Studios and Rattlebox Studios and produced / engineered by the Grammy award-winning David Bottrill with BTBAM.

The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues represents BTBAM's musical and conceptual masterwork; the record showcases both the quintet's vivid execution and ambitious vision. The otherworldly conceptual thread linking each of the songs is mobilized around two human characters that live in different planes of existence and are separated by millions of light years, each confronted with similar personal issues. Subsequently, both characters make decisions that will change their lives, and perhaps the course of the universe, forever. Musically, the release presents aura-rich atmospheres rife with roaring volumes, corrugated rhythms and trance-inducing intricacies. Cerebral and visceral, soft and heavy, melodic and abrasive, tender and brutal, familiar and strange and taut yet sprawling and epic, Between The Buried And Me has crafted a sound that is musically sophisticated yet primal and a disc where every new passage leads to the culmination of an epic adventure.

The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues tracklisting:

'Specular Reflection'

'Augment Of Rebirth'

'Lunar Wilderness'

A special landing page for the release has been designed and hosts a six minute edit of the new BTBAM song 'Specular Reflection'. The hub, which also allows fans to pre-order The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues is now live at this location.
