Progressive metal visionaries Between the Buried and Me return with The Blue Nowhere—their most immersive and adventurous album to date, and their first release on InsideOutMusic. Fusing bold experimentation with their signature intensity, the band builds a conceptual world rooted in introspection, isolation, and human experience.
Set within a metaphysical hotel called The Blue Nowhere, the album unfolds not as a horror story, but as a deeply personal journey. “It’s more of a feeling,” explains frontman Tommy Rogers, “a space where no one can find you—hidden from all forms of reality.”
From the INXS- and Duran Duran-inspired opener “Things We Tell Ourselves in the Dark” to the sprawling, 10+ minute opus “Absent Thereafter,” BTBAM stretches their sonic boundaries with fearless ambition. Echoes of 90125-era Yes, atmospheric detours, and moments of chaos and beauty combine into a record that is as unpredictable as it is powerful.
Always evolving, never repeating, The Blue Nowhere affirms Between the Buried and Me’s place at the forefront of modern progressive music. For longtime fans and new listeners alike, this is a bold next chapter in a storied career.
