This review is dedicated to Patrick, one of our patrons. It was his pick. Thanks.

The year is 2005. Hurricane Katrina ravages New Orleans. London suffers a horrible terrorist attack. YouTube is launched. So is the Xbox 360. Yes. Right, the Metal. I almost forgot. It was an insanely strong year, to be fair. Something like a silver age, with Nile, Opeth, Arch Enemy, and Pelican releasing timeless classics. But today we’re going to talk about a criminally underrated gem: Between The Buried and Me‘s Alaska.

Between the Buried And Me – The Blue Nowhere

I’m more excited than a monkey with a rifle! It’s Between The Buried And Me, the band that got me into Prog Death back when I didn’t even have my own computer. I’ve been a fan since Alaska and was blown away by the timeless 5/5 classic Colors. The band has been delivering amazing and consistently interesting music ever since. Weird and quirky for sure, but always risky. If The Blue Nowhere is anything like its previous works, surprises are the only guarantee. Enough build-up, time to shred our way out of existence!
