Buried Beneath was a band I played mainly Guitar in from 1992-1995. This CD was a posthumous release in 1998 since the band had already been split up for 3 years and that year the debut post-Buried Beneath band NIGHT CONQUERS DAY released our debut CD.
This is a collection of demo songs that have had my vocals re-recorded over the old vocalists (except on track 4) and I also added some keyboard parts and did a whole new mix and master, plus the last song is an out-take from the debut Night Conquers Day CD. It's included because it was the last song written as Buried Beneath and it was not included on the debut N.C.D. album. There is another version of this song on the N.C.D. demo from 1995. To understand what this CD is, read page 2 of the CD booklet (included and pictured below).
The music is a Brutally Atmospheric Black/Death. The earlier songs are more just death metal that sounds typical for 1992, but the latter songs from 1993 and 1994 were more elaborate, had keyboards and became longer epics. Enjoy.
