Audio: Between The Buried And Me – Memory Palace


between the buried and me

Between The Buried And Me is streaming “Memory Palace,” off of their new album Coma Ecliptic, out July 10, 2015 via Metal Blade Records. Watch this below.

According to the band, the effort is a ‘modern rock opera’ with the following offered on the story:

“The story follows the wanderings of an unidentified man, stuck in a coma, as he journeys through his past lives. Each song is its own episode in a modern day, sort of The Twilight Zone-esque fashion. The unidentified man enters each world and is offered a choice: stay, or move on to the next in search of something better, something more “perfect.” The man does find his ideal life, but then is offered the ultimate choice of life or death. He chooses life and wakes up to his own actual reality.

It’s at that moment he realizes that he had been in a coma – everything that happened had been dreams and false memories. After awakening, we find the man outside finally experiencing reality, and he sees what he has been missing: the world is beautiful, the air is fresh, and the people appear to be happy, and then he falls over dead. The take away from this is to make the best of your life. People are constantly searching for something better without taking the time to appreciate the things they have. What we need may already be here, and is hopefully real. We may all be in a coma in another life.”

Coma Ecliptic track listing:
01: Node
02: The Coma Machine
03: Dim Ignition
04: Famine Wolf
05: King Redeem / Queen Serene
06: Turn On The Darkness
07: The Ectoptic Stroll
08: Rapid Calm
09: Memory Palace
10: Option Oblivion
11: Life In Velvet


Audio: Stone Sour – We Die Young and Heading Out To The Highway (Preview)


stone sour 2015

Stone Sour are previewing their versions of “We Die Young” from Alice In Chains and “Heading Out To The Highway” from Judas Priest, off of their five song Record Store Day exclusive EP Meanwhile In Burbank on April 18, 2015. The EP was recorded live at Room 237 in Burbank, CA. Stream it below.

Stone Sour guitarist Josh Rand commented on the EP:

“Back in February of 2014 while Stone Sour was touring, Corey [Taylor, vocals] approached me about Stone Sour doing a cover of the Metal Church song ‘The Dark’ for the movie ‘Fear Clinic‘. I thought it would be cool not only to record ‘The Dark’, but the five cover songs that we had played on that tour.”

Rand added:

“The idea was not to shy away from a song because it was popular or pick a band that most people might not have heard, but to pick ones that truly meant something to one of us at some point in our life.”

Meanwhile In Burbank… track listing:

01. We Die Young (Alice In Chains cover)
02. Heading Out To The Highway (Judas Priest cover)
03. Love Gun (KISS cover)
04. Creeping Death (Metallica cover)
05. Children Of The Grave (Black Sabbath cover)
