Between the Buried and Me arose from the ashes of some of
North Carolina’s most well-known hardcore/metalcore bands,
such as From Here On, Prayer for Cleansing and Azazel.
Between the Buried and Me has found their own sound apart
from what their old bands sounded like, becoming one of the
most technical and brutal bands to come out of NC.
In a very short time, coming together in late fall of 2000,
Between the Buried and Me has become a strong force in the
local scene. They bring out the kids, and with their
massive breakdowns, push them to go off during the entire
set.
“Our response is always different, depending on the show
and crowd, but it is usually very positive. From what we
can tell, people either really like what we're doing or
they totally hate it. More...

------ About the song Selkies: The Endless Obsession performed by Between The Buried And Me
Uh, yeah. I would definately agree that 9 out of 10 is fair credit. These guys are extremely progressional and have alot of experience and are very intelligent people overall. Due to their scenario, this is the best qualities someone could have as far a musicianship goes anyway.

------ About the song Mordecai performed by Between The Buried And Me
"Why should I sit in your chairs and satisfy your standards.
I've done it all before and I've confused myself a thousand times."
I think here he's talking about the bullshit of school and test taking. having to hold up to the standards of society.
"The tragic day that I call morality just doesn't do it for me anymore.
The day will turn black and I will have Neither lived or died.
Asleep mid-sentence- my words fall to the ground.
Swept into this dreamland.
Economic satisfaction."
Here he's talking about how even if hes viewed as successful and makes lots of money in our superficial world of consumption, he will still die and not have made a difference to anyone else. so he might as well spend his life doing what he loves: music. And why not growl and scream and be hated by the people who follow those standards??? I love you BTBAM. IM glad you made the right choice.

This whole band blows me away, the amount of skill these guys have... One thing though, where it says "Can't watch it fly away" it's actually "Can't watch this fly away". Can't wait for the new album, The Great Misdirect, rumoured to top Colours, gonna be epic!!!

------ About the song Mordecai performed by Between The Buried And Me
I think what Rob is saying is right, they're trying to tell people to follow their hearts, and not their heads. Which would also be explained by the "I learned to be selfish today, I learned to be alive" section and the two following lines.
And the "Living Dreamd, Loving.....I've always dreamt of" section could be explained by this. He was dreaming about something that he really wanted, and "Loving" this dream (being content in it just being a dream), but now he's awakening (realising that selfishness is what he needs to be happy) and now he has what he has dreamt of.
yea he's right | Reviewer: Anonymous

i agree with the rob dude, people judge between the buried and me songs by the first min (which is usually intense) and dont listen to the whole thing. songs like this need to be listen all the way through, cause the last 3 or 4 min of this song is musical genius

I have no idea what the song is about, I don't have a fucking clue, but, the music is excellent, the way it drops down from brutal shredding to slow harmonious jazz, it's beautiful, don't try and put them in a core-group man, Break-Core, Death-Core, Grind-Core and Metal-Core, it's just a fancy way of saying metal, it really pisses me off that people would lower this bands kudos down by trying to tag them with this insesant scene bullshit.

what can i say about this band? amazing? incredible? both. everytime i listen to these guys i am floored and find something different in the songs, everytime. one of my favorite bands, i had the pleasure of playing with these guys twice when i was in my old band(fall from heaven), and back then they were simply astonishing. the song is one of my favorites simply because of the way it ends. there is no one out there these days that can pull off this sound and be so tight in doing it. keep up the good work guys. see you soon.

------ About the song Mordecai performed by Between The Buried And Me
i remember throwing this in my car right after me and my girl broke up. (that sounded emo. i know). and right when the song hits the lyrics "From the reciting of the show, from the Plip and Shevanel,
from the grind that annoys, and the sarcasm they all hate" i had to brake on the ride home and sit there and think. to think about what had happend between me and her. the fact i was just with her becuz i was and not what i was looking for.
in the video, the guy doll takes off his head. its random as hell, but it has a meaning. "dont follow ur head, follow ur heart". thats my meaning toward the song. dont be selfish, dont just go after what you want, instead of ultimately not what you need. and this song portrays it well enough. thats the meaning of the song i got from it.
ive been listening to this and for years and i got all their cds and i sen em live i think 5 times or so. and everytime they brought out a cd, they outdid them selves everytime. they are incredible. you cant label them what core they are or how terrible the song is because of the first few minutes. the guitar work is so flawless and just amazing (i should know. ive been playing guitar for about 9 years and its pretty challenging riffs and scales). the singing is some of the best ive ever heard. the bass is so intricate and constant. the synths and melodies even make ur grandma go whoa. and the drumming is over the top.
they are one of the best bands around. i feel bad for people who call this band garbage because of the intensity of the first couple minutes for one of their songs (espescially this one) and they dont even get a chance to enjoy the rest of the beautiful music
This song is amazing. As like most BTBAM songs, it's heavily instrumental. Based on the lyrics, the song's about child molesters. The song is saying that grown men who rape children are sick fucks, they should be beaten, and have their dicks cut the fuck off.
fuck yeah btbam.

------ About the song Mordecai performed by Between The Buried And Me
this song definitely blends the best of both the hardest and softest sounds from this genre (whatever the hell one might call it), its a great song to listen to to blow off some steam. starts of fucking hard as hell, flows into a tranquil state, and mixes them both at the end. bloody brilliant.
this band will, without a doubt, be marked down as the best fan
they are the band that i listen to when im happy, sad, whatever
an they are the only one to incorperate every genre, sound, style.
theyre great
and if you dont like them
you dont like music

If you understand and get the video to this, your light years ahead of everyone. >_>
But yes, this song is riddiculously over and full of talent and out spoken awsomeness.
Heavy parts are simply amazing!
Solo's + sweeps, never better!
And the song is complimented at the end with that awsome, i guess melow, outro which always astrays me from earth.
BTBAM are awsome.

haha double hand claps always get me. BTBAM is able to pull off the transcendence from experimental metal riffs to the melodic with ease. They're incredible.

nice one.
This band is amazing. They've got a very good sound, great guitarists, vocalist, and drummer. If you're looking for a death metal/prog band, with talent, these guys are your choice. They have a unique sound. I score them 9 out of 10.
