Between The Buried And Me‘s new song “Memory Palace” has been made available online for streaming below. It is the first full track to be released from the groups new album “Coma Ecliptic“, which you can now pre-order over at Metalblade.com. According to the band’s camp, the effort is a ‘modern rock opera’ with the following offered on the story:
“The story follows the wanderings of an unidentified man, stuck in a coma, as he journeys through his past lives. Each song is its own episode in a modern day, sort of The Twilight Zone-esque fashion. The unidentified man enters each world and is offered a choice: stay, or move on to the next in search of something better, something more “perfect.” The man does find his ideal life, but then is offered the ultimate choice of life or death. He chooses life and wakes up to his own actual reality.
It’s at that moment he realizes that he had been in a coma – everything that happened had been dreams and false memories. After awakening, we find the man outside finally experiencing reality, and he sees what he has been missing: the world is beautiful, the air is fresh, and the people appear to be happy, and then he falls over dead. The take away from this is to make the best of your life. People are constantly searching for something better without taking the time to appreciate the things they have. What we need may already be here, and is hopefully real. We may all be in a coma in another life.”
The album will be among those impacted by the worldwide shift to global release dates and will hit stores on July 10th.
