Between The Buried And Me will be performing “The Parallax II: Future Sequence” in its entirety on a North American tour with Thank You Scientist and Rivers Of Nihil.
Here’s my predictions for Summer Slaughter Tour 2019. There’s a few notable albums celebrating anniversaries this year.
After leaking out last night, the lineup has officially been confirmed for the 2018 Summer Slaughter Tour.
Between The Buried And Me have announced their two-part album Automata! Part I will be released on March 9th via Sumerian Records and they’ll be touring this March with The Dear Hunter & Leprous. Check out the tour dates below. Pre-orders and tickets on sale this Friday.
Between the Buried and Me released Future Sequence, the sequel to Hypersleep Dialgoues, last year and have now gotten around to performing the album front to back. Similar to how they did with Colors and Hypersleep Dialgoues
The Safety Fire opened the show, playing songs from their recent release, Mouth of Swords and their debut, Grind the Ocean. This was their 2nd time in the USA, the first being their tour with Protest The Hero. The band is good but whoever was running their sound made it unbearable for me to watch more than 15 mins of their set.
If you’ve been keeping up with The Contortionist lately, you’ll notice they have a new vocalist. Michael Lessard of Last Chance to Reason is doing double-duty as frontman for both bands (he’s going into the studio with The Contortionist around Spring). They only had time for 4-5 songs, playing only material from Intrinsic. Here’s hoping they do a headliner soon.
The Michael Keene Project- I mean, The Faceless took the stage next and Evan Brewer was noticeably missing from the lineup. Their manager, or whoever ran sound for them did a GREAT job. The vocals were actually higher in the mix and weren’t buried under the guitars. Lots of circle/mosh pits took place during their set.
After a brief audio introduction played over the PA, the legendary BTBAM took the stage. The talking between songs was kept to a minimum, similar to their Colors DVD. I’m really hoping they film this tour since they’re playing Future Sequence in it’s entirety. In typical BTBAM fashion, they only played one song for their encore; White Walls. The whole band was on point and tight. Not once did I see Blake count off to start a song. Don’t miss this tour when it comes to your town!

Drummers; they have the best view in the house and are the essential backbone of a band. Not to mention that drummers have to have the stamina of an Olympic athlete when playing live. As metal, hardcore, and other genres get faster, drummers are tasked with keeping a steady rhythm and flow. Now, the criteria we used may upset some people but it’s the only way to be fair.
1. Each drummer had to have both recorded AND performed live within the past five years.
2. We had to see them live (the only real way to decide to judge this)
10. Matt Nicholls (Bring Me The Horizon)
We’ll be the first to admit that BMTH were a shitty band for their first two albums (Okay, maybe just the first one). Aside from that, the band grew up (literally and musically) on their last two albums, “There Is A Hell…”, and “Sempiternal”. Matt’s drumming may not stand out when compared to the other drummers on this list, but it’s clear that the band is now making music that’s a clear departure from their beginnings.
9. Dan Searle (Architects UK)
Architects are a very underrated band; they have a huge following in their hometown of Europe but are just breaking through here in the US. Fans of mathcore will appreciate Dan’s drumming on their first two records. Their latest record, Daybreaker, sees a return to their technical roots on Hollow Crown.
8. Billy Rymer (The Dillinger Escape Plan)
Billy may have only joined TDEP four years ago but he’s definitely earned his place on this list. His playing includes plenty of polyrythmns and odd time signatures, which is the core of TDEP’s music which is ironic cause Billy played for a wide variety of bands including 311, Alien Ant Farm, and even Kelly Clarkson.
7. Roy Mayorga (Stone Sour)
Roy was the original drummer of Soufly and has played with Sepultura, and very briefly with Ozzy Osbourne. He joined Stone Sour in 2006 and has destroyed the kit since.
6. Ryan “Legs” Leger (Every Time I Die)
After losing their previous drummer due to “personal conflicts” Ryan auditioned for Every Time I Die and laid down some of their best drum work yet on their latest record, “Ex Lives”
5. Blake Richardson (Between the Buried and Me)
Blake used to play in the deathcore band, Glass Casket before joining BTBAM. Noted for his blast beats, odd timing, double bass drumming, and fill-heavy style, Richardson is considered a standout in his field.
4. Branden Morgan (Misery Signals)
Probably the most underrated drummer considering Misery Signals have been a huge influence for newer bands. Their debut record, Of Malice and the Magnum Heart is highly regarded as one of the best metalcore releases ever. Critics and bands have praised the band’s ability on the record in effortlessly blending melody and aggression.
3. Matt Halpern (Periphery)
When Matt isn’t drumming for Periphery, he’s running BandHappy which allows you to take lessons from your favorite musicians online and on-tour. His playing is more focused on the groove then how fast he can play a blast beat. The kit he plays is just what he needs and nothing more; perfect for playing ghost notes.
2. Matt Greiner (August Burns Red)
If want to hear a great drummer who can play fast and also write some jazz parts, Matt is your man. He not only has great complex timing in his hand movements but also uses double bass in an interesting way and really compliments the rest of the music.
1. Chris Adler (Lamb of God)
Little known fact: Chris played bass long before he decided to pick up the drumsticks. His playing style is known for his creative fills and precision double bass and for his often used heel-toe technique. You can tell what band you’re listening to just by hearing his drumming.
