A shiny new album cover too!

Earlier this year, Between The Buried and Me gave the world a stellar new release, Automata I. They made it clear the album was the first half of a double album, promising that the latter-end of the album would be released in the summer. They are coming through on their promise.

Today, the band announced they'll be releasing Automata II on July 13th via Sumerian Records. The album's release coincides with the kickoff of the band's headlining run on this year's Summer Slaughter tour, the lineup and routing of which was revealed yesterday. The band comments on being on Summer Slaughter:

We are very excited to get on the road this summer in support of Automata II. To be part of Summer Slaughter for the second time in our careers is beyond humbling. Their lineups hold a vast history of extremes and interesting music, something we strive to do with our own music. We hope to meet new bands and make new fans, and present the world the next evolution of BTBAM.

As for the album, vocalist Tommy Rogers is quoted as saying:

"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."

Dan Briggs (bass) further 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."

For those dying to see the cover art, here it is. We'll keep you posted when new music is announced.
