Buried, a dynamic metal band hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, was formed in 2022 by the creative forces of Preston Wilson (bass) and Alex Valdés (guitar). Both seasoned musicians, they sought to channel their array of influences into a sound that melds doom, thrash, and progressive metal. In search of like-minded bandmates, they brought on Erik Scott, a powerful drummer with a diverse style, and Ben Rosputni, a fierce vocalist who had shared the stage with Preston in a band 15 years prior. Their reunion added a layer of depth and history to the band’s formation, grounding Buried in both experience and renewed passion.

Buried’s sound is a visceral blend of doom’s dark, brooding atmosphere, the relentless energy of thrash, and the complex structures of progressive metal. Drawing inspiration from legendary acts like Black Sabbath, Acid Bath, Pantera, Cannibal Corpse, and Death, Buried crafts music that is as heavy and aggressive as it is intricate and emotive. Their compositions often feature crushing riffs, thunderous rhythms, and haunting vocals that explore themes of despair, defiance, and the human condition.
