When North Carolina’s prog metal trailblazers, Between The Buried And Me came to London to play two shows at Camden’s Underworld, thought it would be a ruddy great idea to sit down with vocalist, Tommy Giles Rogers and guitarist, Paul Waggoner about their recent EP and their plans for an album.
Can you tell us a bit about the concept behind The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues EP and its sister record that is to follow it?
PW: “The EP starts with a character that’s actually from the last song of The Great Misdirect who has essentially decided to end his life by drifting off to sea. During a state of unconsciousness he starts having these visions of this other character that exists on some other planet, who knows how long ago in a different universe.
