Buried Inside: New LP coming 09.03.2009

Canada’s wall-of-sound Buried Inside is back! In march they will release their new full-length entitled “Spoils Of Failure” on Relapse Records, which has also released their last LP “Chronoclast”.


8 epic tracks full of the band’s well-known great instrumentation linked with multi vocals will blow you away. The band has put a part of one of the new songs on their myspace site, so give it a listen. We have waited four long years for this record, and the first tunes we get to hear makes me want this even more!
Relapse says the following about the release:

BURIED INSIDE returns with Spoils of Failure, the long-awaited follow up to the band’s now-classic Relapse debut Chronoclast. Four years in the making, Spoils of Failure’s eight epic tracks marry dense, riff-heavy layers of instrumentation and caustic vocal bellows with the deeply introspective and thought-provoking lyrics that have become BURIED INSIDE’s trademark. A completely enthralling album experience, Spoils of Failure is as stunning as it is unforgettable.
