BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME have revealed the full support lineup for their upcoming 31-date U.S. headlining tour, assembling one of the most creatively diverse and artistically ambitious undercards in recent progressive metal touring history. IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT, FALLUJAH, THANK YOU SCIENTIST, and THE WORLD IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE & I AM NO LONGER AFRAID TO DIE will each open on select dates, creating a rotating bill that spans avant-garde metal, technical death metal, progressive rock, and post-rock.
The eclectic nature of the support lineup speaks volumes about BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME's own artistic identity — a band that has never been content to remain within a single genre's boundaries. Over the course of their career, BTBAM have incorporated elements of jazz, country, electronic music, classical composition, and progressive rock into their fundamentally heavy framework, creating a sound that defies easy categorization. Their choice of support acts reflects this boundary-dissolving ethos.
IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT bring their chaotic, New York-inflected avant-garde black metal to the proceedings, while FALLUJAH offer a more atmospheric and technically dazzling take on death metal. THANK YOU SCIENTIST provide progressive rock theatrics with jazz fusion chops, and THE WORLD IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE contribute sprawling, emotionally rich post-rock. Together, the four acts create a concert experience that challenges and rewards adventurous listeners in equal measure.
The tour supports "The Blue Nowhere," released in September 2025 via InsideOut Music. The album was praised by critics for its ambitious scope and compositional complexity, continuing BTBAM's tradition of pushing the boundaries of what heavy music can achieve. Fans can expect deep dives into the new material alongside career-spanning selections from their extensive catalog.
BTBAM continue to push boundaries as one of progressive metal's most adventurous and intellectually stimulating live acts. The 31-date run promises to be a showcase for some of the most forward-thinking music in the heavy world.
