BTBAM Premiere “Astral Body” [VIDEO]

Between The Buried And Me have just released the video for “Astral Boy,” which comes off the upcoming album The Parallax II: Future Sequence (October 9). The video is truly a visual treat, featuring a god-like creator/conductor and an ultimate out-of-this-world demise. The song ain’t half bad either.

Check back soon to read my review of The Parallax II: Future Sequence. But until then, enjoy this video (repeatedly) and check out the press release below.

[sic]Sept. 26, 2012, LOS ANGELES – Between The Buried And Me unveil the first official video from the North Carolina band’s epic new album, The Parallax II: Future Sequence (Oct. 9, Metal Blade Records), for “Astral Body” premiering today via Alternative Press’ website (www.altpress.com).

The visually stunning four-minute clip was directed by Wes Richardson and builds upon the story laid out in The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues (2011 EP) and the forthcoming, 12-track concept album The Parallax II: Future Sequence. “Quote from Tommy explaining how the video ties into the overarching story of The Parallax,” explains singer/songwriter Tommy Rogers. “Words words words.”
