Celebrated progressive rock / cutting-edge metal band BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME (BTBAM) has announced that it will team up with like-minded musical heavyweights Mastodon for a spring U.S. tour in support of its critically acclaimed new album The Great Misdirect. The massive, five week trek will kick off on April 16 in Charleston, SC.

BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME just completed a full scale North American headlining tour which featured support from Cynic, Devin Townsend Project and Scale the Summit. BTBAM will launch a European tour alongside Lamb of God tomorrow evening in Birmingham, England. Straight off the tour with LOG, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME will embark upon a tour of Japan, bringing along The Red Chord as support. At the conclusion of the Japan dates, BTBAM will perform live in Singapore and Bangkok and then head to Australia for a string of major market live performances. A special one off show in Hawaii on April 1 will conclude the massive globe trot before the band returns to hit the road alongside Mastodon.

Merging unparalleled musical bravery, prodigious musicianship, flawless execution and an angular landscape of forward thinking ideas, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME reinvent the rock ‘n roll idiom while pleasing their harshest critics: themselves. Joining metal’s dexterity and progressive rock’s forward-looking action, BTBAM create spine-tingling sound that contains visceral power, labyrinthine arrangement, mind-boggling melody and majestic beauty. Since its inception, the band has proven itself as a progressive rock pacesetter whose modernist clang pegs it as a paradigm to be followed and a yardstick by which other bands are measured. The band’s gripping new music video – for the song Obfuscation — can be absorbed now at this location.

BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME features Tommy Rogers (vocals / keyboards), Paul Waggoner (guitar), Dustie Waring (guitar), Blake Richardson (drums / percussion) and Dan Briggs (bass).
