About Between the Buried and Me
Between the Buried and Me is a progressive metal band from Raleigh, North Carolina that has pushed the boundaries of heavy music with sprawling, genre-defying compositions that treat albums as complete artistic statements. Their technical prowess is matched by an adventurous spirit that incorporates elements of jazz, country, and electronic music into extreme metal frameworks. They are one of the most ambitious bands in modern metal, and their live show reflects that ambition. Between the Buried and Me concerts are journeys that take the audience through multiple genres and moods within a single song, and the musicians execute it all with a precision that has to be seen to be believed. This is progressive metal at its most daring.
The Venue
Town Ballroom is Buffalo’s premier mid-sized music venue, a standing-room space with a balcony that has hosted some of the best shows in Western NY for years. The room has that perfect club energy where the crowd and the band feed off each other in a way that bigger venues cannot replicate. Sound is clean without drowning out the room’s natural character, and the Elmwood Village location puts you in one of Buffalo’s best neighborhoods. The surrounding area is packed with restaurants and bars that make the full evening easy to plan.
