|
|
'Between The Buried And Me' is a musical quintet from Raleigh, North Carolina with the pronounced influences of metalcore and smaller influences from progressive metal, soft rock, and jazz. Their name is derived from a section of lyrics in a Counting Crows song entitled, "Ghost Train." The lyrics are as follows: "Took the cannon ball down to the ocean/across the desert from the sea to shining sea/I rode a ladder that climbed across the nation/50 million feet of earth 'between the buried and me'."
Biography
"Between The Buried And Me incorporate metal and hardcore with spacey, progressive technicality and poignant rock melodies to create dizzying opuses that will redefine pre-existing notions of "metalcore".

The band was founded in early 2000 in Raleigh, North Carolina by vocalist Tommy Giles Rogers Jr. and guitarist Paul Waggoner, both from the melodic death metal band Prayer For Cleansing, and has had many lineup changes. Currently, the band contains two members from fellow North Carolina band Glass Casket, Dusty Waring on guitar and Blake Richardson on drums. This has caused some to question the future of Glass Casket, although neither member of that band says that Glass Casket will break up anytime soon, as other members of that band are currently busy with college and jobs.
The current lineup consists of:
*Tommy Giles Rogers Jr. - Vocalist/Keyboardist
*Paul Waggoner - Guitarist
*Dusty Waring - Guitarist
*Blake Richardson - Drummer
*Dan Briggs - Bassist
