Review: Between The Buried And Me - The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues

What a time it is for progressive metal fans. When Between the Buried and Me released Colors back in 2007, they immediately joined the front lines of forward thinking, prog-metal juggernauts alongside the likes Dream Theater and Opeth. A subsequent spot on the Progressive Nation tour with the aforementioned groups seems to have only sped up the evolution and innovation of BTBAM. After completing their run on Victory Records with 2009’s The Great Misdirect, the group signed with Metal Blade Records. In April they released their newest aural journey: The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues, a 30-minute, three-track EP that finds the band continuing to discover, develop, and explore their unique metal sound.

As if there hasn't been enough awesome material to listen to thus far, 2011 has outdone itself again.  Between The Buried And Me's upcoming ep, The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues, is now streaming in its entirety at Metalsucks.  I shouldn't have to say anymore.  You know what to do.  Get to it!  The new ep is set to drop via Metal Blade on April 12. 

The ep is also available after the break in the form of youtube clips if you happen to find that more convenient.

BTBAM And Metal Blade - Finally Is Right

So I was greeted this morning with the third installment (which now justifies it as a trilogy in my eyes) of Between the Buried and Me's "Soon" series.  This third one is without a doubt the most useless of them all.  BTBAM fully acknowledged this by saying on their facebook, "Man you folks are really gonna hate us now."


However, they also dropped a much bigger bomb this afternoon.  Check out to see what it is after the break.
