1. Between the Buried and Me are not metal.
2. They are not even remotely "underappreciated."
They have a massive following across the U.S. and U.K., which is the best you're going to get for a 'core band, because the rest of the free world isn't having that shit.
3. Darkane are alright, but I found them boring when I saw them.
Swallow the Sun opened up for THEM, and that's a gross misrepresentation of talent if I've ever seen it.
I haven't heard much recent Between The Buried And Me, but I do recall them being metalcore leaning towards metal. Definitely not underappreciated though, they're ridiculously huge.

According to Metal-Archives it is.
"Remastered and re-issued in 2009 on 12" LP by Xtreem Music without bonus tracks and on CD with "The Four Instructive Tales... of Decomposition" demo as bonus tracks with right cover. LP contains no insert and has typos on the back side of the cover. Both (CD & LP) versions were mastered by label owner Dave Rotten at Xtreem Music Masterings in January 2009. There are three differently colored versions of the LP: red, grey and red/black splatter. Each limited to 500 copies."
Thanks. Don't know if I'll order it from Antti though, the shipping and exchange rate is brutal. Need to see if I can find something on my side of the pond.

Sheet, out of stock. Too bad, they usually have some good sale items I can toss in to mitigate shipping costs. Oh well, thanks for looking around though. Probably end up getting it through Xtreem themselves since it's only something like 8 Euros (plus an unknown shipping).

There's one on eBay too for 15 euros + 5 eu shipping, so you're looking at 30 bucks total. Meh. You might just be better off getting it through Xtreem yeah.
i did also score 2 good beherit shirts
DDtM & WS & Blood.
The prints are not that bad - worth the 15.
The bootleg 'offical' tops that they try to sell in record stores in AUS are the worst prints and the worst quality shirts that are sold at 35
Hmmm...prob a metal band that is undermined would be bands that help the metal community who are not signed to major labels...any band on a major label can not say they are not loved or diecredited.
The Contortionist seem to have been swept under the rug as this whole "Djent" phase continues to eat up the progressive metal scene. Although their second album came out a couple weeks ago so perhaps they shall gain some well deserved recognition. I think Fallujah should also be waaayyy bigger than they are. Those guys blow me away, especially their newest record.
It's goth metal lol and I'm not a fan of the genre but I find The Sins Of Thy Beloved to be extremely underrated. They're the only band in the genre I like though.
