BTBAM Debuts Video For Coma Ecliptic’s Second Single

Courtesy: Metal Blade Records

As the days count down to the release of Between The Buried And Me’s new album Coma Ecliptic, the anticipation inversely builds with each day’s passing. In anticipation of the album’s release, the band recently debuted its lead single ‘Memory Palace.’ The band has built the anticipation even more this week with the premiere of the video for its new single ‘The Coma Machine.’

Front man Tommy Rogers explained the concept behind the video with the media, noting that it goes a long way toward making this chapter of the story clear to audiences. He noted that the video shows the story’s main character preparing for the story that is to come. “This video is special to me because it looks beyond the story that is on the record,” he said. It showcases the character preparing for his journey and is him basically saying bye to his old demons/life. This footage adds dialogue to the story and I think that is very unique. Wes and crew did a wonderful job creating a world that works well with the song and uniquely showcases the depth of this unstable character.” Audiences can see the video for themselves online now via Vimeo at http://vimeo.com/127734366 and via the band’s official page at Metal Blade Records at http://www.metablade.combtbam. While there, audiences can also hear the lead single from the band’s upcoming album, too.

Coma Ecliptic will be available in stores and online on Tuesday, July 7th. It can be pre-ordered online now at http://www.metalblade.com/btbam. Those that pre-order Coma Ecliptic now can receive it with special bundles and packages including: CD, LP, two pre-order exclusive t-shirts, an exclusive hour-long behind the scenes making-of DVD, and a “Coma Ecliptic” limited edition 27″x40″ movie poster.

BTBAM will hit the road in support of Coma Ecliptic beginning on its release date at the Georgia Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia. The thirty-two date tour includes a pair of dates in North Carolina. The first brings the band to Ziggy’s in Winston-Salem on August 9th and the second to Ziggy’s by the Sea on August 14th.
