out now: the melodic death metal of Buried Realm: "Embodiment of the Divine"

Buried Realm's second album Embodiment of the Divine is one for fans of European-style melodic death metal with a dose of technicality and a little bit more brutality than the older bands of the style, like the younger generation has been looking over the fence at tech-death and contemporary brutal death metal, and been thinking that maybe the grass is not greener on the other side, but it sure be nice to get a piece of that action. Buried Realm does not want to marry brutal-technical death metal but it does want get together and see if the sparks fly for a day of partying.

Back in 2017 Josh Dummer (Colorado, U.S.A.) hit the ground running with his debut album, and it was Josh doing his solo thing but what was interesting was the nice collection of guests for the guitar solos. For instance, somehow he convinced Christopher Amott of Arch Enemy fame, Peter Wichers of Soilwork fame and Marios Iliopoulos the head honcho of Nightrage to get onboard. Josh is back at it and he got Peter again, Andy Gillion from Mors Principium Est, and other shredders, and Ryan Strain as a guest vocalist, from the looks of it, for some of the more melodic singing.
