Album of the Day

OK, enough with the emo crap and let's get back to the music ;)

Today's album of the day is from a "local band" (their hometown is Raleigh) called Between the Buried and Me. Although I like them all, The Anatomy Of is by far my favorite.

On this album the band covers their main influences... with some pretty tremendous results. Oh, and for those of you who don't know, BTBAM is a mix of thrash, sludge, grindcore, and a smidge of good ol' fashioned rock. List below copied from Wikipedia.
