Buried Inside are a metalcore/atmospheric sludge/post-metal band from Ottawa, Canada. Influenced by early metalcore bands such as Acme as well as countless East-Coast USA and Quebec hardcore bands, they formed in 1997. Their sound includes distorted vocals, creatively-timed drumming, heavy use of octave double stops which creates a very melodic effect and occasional sampling of gloomy film dialogue or instruments like the cello. Their lyrics mostly deal with themes of time and how it regulates and enslaves people. They recently signed to Relapse Records and put out their "concept" album, Chronoclast.
