Returning with their most immersive and eclectic record to date, The Blue Nowhere marks the band’s first release through InsideOutMusic. Rather than telling a traditional horror story despite its hotel setting, the album explores themes of isolation, introspection and the human experience.
“It’s more of a feeling—those moments when you feel alone in the world and use that solitude to reflect on the human experience,” explains vocalist Tommy Rogers. “It exists in a space where no one can find you, hidden from all forms of reality—that’s The Blue Nowhere.”
The album continues the band’s relentless evolution, incorporating unexpected influences ranging from INXS, Duran Duran and the 90125 era of Yes, while still delivering the complex, dynamic songwriting that has made Between The Buried and Me one of progressive metal’s most respected acts.
“We’re not repeating ourselves,” Rogers says. “We’re lucky to have a fanbase that’s along for the ride.”
