CD Review: Between The Buried And Me - Alaska

The intention of Between The Buried And Me seems to take a whole bunch of different stuff, and throw it into a metalcore melting pot. Things from progressive scale runs, to death metal, to a very slight hinting of melody every now and then to light ballads strung together with breakdowns are all a part of Between The Buried And Me. The previous album “Silent Circus” was a little disjointed, some songs not fitting together, but “Alaska” pulls everything together in a much more coherent package. Bands this odd usually get accolades for the creations they make, but often fail to gain much success, but Between The Buried And Me seem to be gaining both. Under the backing of Victory Records they’re off to Ozzfest this year.
