I always get bothered when I see stuff like this. I don’t really have anything against any of the bands on this tour per say, but I believe it a grave injustice to stick Between the Buried and Me on tour with the likes of UnderOath and The Acacia Strain (who’s name I didn’t realize until today isn't The ARCADIA STAIN). At any rate, UnderOath shouldn't have to put up touring with such low-brow and talentless acts like Between the Buried and Me. UnderOath are legends, shit they should have their own tour. They ARE the Cool. </sarcasm>

Anyway, the so-called 'Cool' tour, in all its un-coolness, kicks off in Orlando on July 12 and will finish up in California on August 1st. You can see all the dates of the tour as well as the full lineup after the jump.

Remember this segment?  This is where I bitch about not living close to shows I want to see.  Right now I'm bummed I cannot go to Sweden's Metaltown festival, recently confirming heavy hitters like Amon Amarth, Between the Buried and Me, In Flames and Dark Tranquillity. This year's Metaltown festival is set to take place in Gothenburg on June 18-19. The list of bands that will play is ever expanding, but you can see the names of those currently confirmed here or here.

The rumor mills has been busily spinning away tales of a Mastodon/Between The Buried and Me tour and now it can be confirmed. In April Mastodon, Between the Buried and Me, Baroness and Valiant Thorr will head out on the open roads  in what will be, I'm sure, a cross country hipster-fest. The spring tour will focus mostly on smaller venues and cities this time around;  Mastodon has said that it will "bring the band to the fans in American cities that have yet to experience the 'Crack the Skye' live event."  Dates after the jump.

Three's new album, "Revisions" dropped yesterday sans much fanfare. Last month was marked with great metal releases a-plenty and though this month wasn't quite so marked, we saw the release of both Three's and Between The Buried and Me's anticipated albums. I am not going to bother  mentioning   Atreyu's, "Congregation of the 'Wankers'" and Between the Buried and Me's release was just 'ok' for me so I decided to give the much under appreciated, Three, a top spot. Go buy this album, Three is on top of their game and you wont be disappointed. 

When you think of a metal concert tour and what cities will be hosting you probably wouldn't think Boise ID. But apparently I was wrong. This last weekend September 19, In Flames was in Boise ID and bringing with them was Between the Buried and Me, 3 Inches of Blood and The Faceless. I made a road trip up there to check out the show.

In Flames will be touring North America in September 2009. Opening for the band will be Between The Buried And Me, 3 Inches Of Blood and The Faceless in select locations.

Between The Buried and Me just released an audio teaser on their myspace page with little snippets of of their new album due out October 27th! I can't wait personally, and I doubt you can either. Check it out here. Yet another reason to get excited is, there is officially one month left to get you juggling videos to us! The polls close September 30th and the winner will be announced. Later on this week we are going to feature a video Gods Revolver did for us, that as of now is the top contender, it should give you kids a good idea of what you have to beat. 

Did you know..... The band's name is derived from a section of lyrics in Counting Crows song "Ghost Train"? "  Took the cannonball down to the ocean/Across the desert from the sea to shining sea/I rode a ladder that climbed across the nation/Fifty million feet of earth between the buried and me".  Now enjoy the metal video Between the Buried and Me Colors Live YouTube video from their live DVD.

Did you know....Dan Briggs (BTBAM Bass) and members of Fear Before the March of Flames and Abigail Williams are in an experimental band called Orbs? Their debut album is expected soon.
