Between The Buried and Me announce ‘Automata II’ release date

BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME have announced the release date for Automata II!

Back at the start of the year, the progressive juggernauts announced that their latest opus would be split into two parts and whilst Automata I has been gracing our ears since March, we’ve been eagerly awaiting the second instalment. Now, the band have confirmed that Automata II will be released in July this year!

Speaking about the upcoming record, vocalist Tommy Rogers says, “Holding our tongues for Automata II was challenging. We worked so hard on these songs and finally we get to release the other half of this material to the world! I think this is some of the best material we’ve ever released. It’s a result of everything we’ve been striving for up to this point. There are plenty of twists/turns and bizarre moments, but there is also a lot of beauty in the music and the story. Automata is now complete and our antagonist found his version of home and peace. We are all in this together.” Bassist Dan Briggs adds, Automata II sees us at our most dynamic and most creative. It feels like turning a page into a whole new terrain and us working all these years together to arrive at this point. It’s quirky, adventurous, melodic, dark and full of theatrics.”
