Between the Buried and Me
Amnesia Rockfest: outdoing themselves one year at a time
On some level, every show organizer and promoter wants to have the event that those who attended look back and remember as the most…
Cynic/ 3/ Scale The Summit/ The Ocean @ The Wreck Room, Toronto ON, November 10, 2011

Hellbound Staff Interrogations #13: Natalie Zed
Who else could be number thirteen in our staff interviews but Natalie Zed?
Between The Buried and Me/ Job For A Cowboy/ The Ocean @ The Opera House, Toronto ON, April 21, 2011
Short story even shorter, The Ocean ruled the night, Job For A Cowboy was on the wrong show and BTBAM were technically flawless but the band became a victim of their own songwriting.
Fair to Midland / Periphery / Scale the Summit @ the Mod Club, Toronto ON, March 29th 2011
Natalie Zed reviews the March 29, 2011 performance by Fair To Midland, Periphery and Scale The Summit at Toronto’s Mod Club.
The Devin Townsend Project / TesseracT @ the Mod Club, Toronto ON, November 3, 2010
“Everything about this show was carefully planned out, meticulously orchestrated. The sound was excellent and the lighting choices novel and interesting. Every aspect was carefully chosen to enhance the experience. Devin had a stark white light pointing upwards toward his face, catching every crease and shadow, emphasizing every ridiculous expression he contorted his unique features into. I’ve never before seen a man who could appear so scrumptiously handsome one moment then so cartoonishly grotesque the next.”
Natalie Zed reviews the recent Toronto appearance from The Devin Townsend Project, supported by UK’s TesseracT.
The Ocean – Heliocentric
This is an album that should truly be admired for its intelligent design. The band might get comparisons to Between The Buried and Me and I would agree with that except for the fact the The Ocean surpassed BTBAM in cohesive songwriting two albums ago. It’s a shame the scene kids won’t “get it”
NAMM – Music product trade show, or excuse for Hellbound writer to party?
Jay H. Gorania didn’t actually get into NAMM, one of the world’s largest music product trade shows in LA; however he did manage to soak up the event’s pretentious atmosphere, as well as some killer performances by The Devin Townsend Experience, Cynic, Scale The Summit, Suicide Silence and The Iron Maidens.
Between The Buried And Me: The Great Misdirect
Like some terrifying amoeba, Between The Buried And Me has absorbed and incorporated a wild variety of sounds into themselves and spat back something that exhibits them all, but only uses them as ingredients to work toward their own ends.
