Behind the music - Between the Buried and Me
US prog-metal band Between the Buried and Me have released their new single, Absent Thereafter, ahead of their new album, The Blue Nowhere. We asked vocalist and keyboard player Tommy Rogers the BIG questions . . . "To me, Absent Thereafter feels like the quintessential BTBAM song - fun, intense, spacy, and still fucking heavy," says Tommy. "I like to think it takes the listener on an unexpected journey, with ear candy waiting around every corner. It's a deeper dive into all of the dynamic places you're taken within The Blue Nowhere!" Tell us three things about yourself . . . I was originally supposed to be the guitarist of BTBAM, but we couldn't find a singer, so I figured why not? I'm happily boring I am one of the managers for BTBAM as well as a member. How would you describe your music? Chaotic, beautiful at times, and dare I say fun? ADVENTUROUS. Who are your musical inspirations? The Beatles, Mr. Bungle, Radiohead, and lots of weirdo black metal. What was the first gig you ever went to? Technically, Huey Lewis, but only because my parents couldn't find a babysitter. First one I knowingly went to and was f***ing excited about? - Skid Row and Bon Jovi in 1988. What was the first record you ever bought? Probably Master of Puppets by Metallica, but my memory is s***. Spandau Ballet - True. Favourite lyric of all time? "Yeah" - White Zombie. If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be? Nature Boy by Nat King Cole. Our website. Alan Corr
