Between The Buried and Me, who spent the last few months recording, have announced they will be releasing their new album, titled Coma Ecliptic on July 7th via Metal Blade Records. The first single will be released in just under a month on April 3rd. The album will be a concept album, described in the press release as so:

This time, the story follows the wanderings of an unidentified man, stuck in a coma, as he journeys through his past lives. Each song is its own episode in a modern day, sort of The Twilight Zone-esque fashion. The unidentified man enters each world and is offered a choice: stay, or move on to the next in search of something better, something more "perfect.

But that's not all. The band is also confirming a killer summer tour with some openers for which I feel the venn diagram of fans is all the circles stacked up against each other.
