Between the Buried and Me, who released their highly anticipated new album The Blue Nowhere (reviewed by SonicAbuse here) in September 2025 via InsideOutMusic, are celebrating the new year and their impending 2026 European tour with the release of a stunning live recording of album highlight ‘God Terror’, recorded in Denver during the bands North American dates. Filmed and edited by Randy Edwards, with audio mixed and mastered by longtime collaborator Jamie King, you can watch the video now here:
Tommy Rogers comments: “Once we started bringing new songs to the stage, we immediately felt a darker, more intense shift in the set when “God Terror” hit. The energy was unmistakable, and we knew we wanted to capture that feeling in a live version of the tune. Denver felt like the obvious choice to film and record, thanks to the constant excitement and connection we’ve always shared with the fans there.”

The Blue Nowhere has been hailed by Consequence as “another mind-bending prog metal journey,” withRevolver noting the band’s music is as “complex as ever,” and Loudwire praising the album as “another characteristically compelling and eccentric record,” from the genre-defying architects of modern progressive metal. The album is available on multiple vinyl variants and CD via Betweentheburiedandme.com.
Between the Buried and Me have built a reputation as one of heavy music’s most forward-thinking and creatively ambitious bands. Over the past 25 years, they have released eleven albums, from their 2002 self-titled debut to 2025’s The Blue Nowhere, blending technical mastery with conceptual depth. Throughout their career, their albums have consistently landed on year-end best-of lists, earned a GRAMMY® nomination in 2019 (with the award’s website praising their music as “versatile, imaginative and absolutely crushing the band’s music”), been dubbed “prog metal heroes” by Kerrang!, and praised by Guitar World for their “epic” and “hugely diverse” sound.
Between the Buried and Me is Tommy Rogers (vocals/keys), Paul Waggoner (guitars), Dan Briggs (bass/keys), and Blake Richardson (drums).
