Bloodshine 02:58
lyrics

Blood Shine! Which way do I go? Which way does blood flow? Running from my fate Feed this pain that fuels my hate Looking at myself I don't know who I am This stranger is my friend Nothing gained but in the end We'll all face the light Give in at birth Accept the seventh seal (Hull of the seed) Petrified Frozen dirt Smoke the Earth! See the world The hurt inside Forget the truth face the lies Blood stains and broken homes Children playing all alone I was once like you Denied myself like you Kill everything 'till nothings left Confess the dying planet

Scream Into the World 03:07
lyrics
buy track
Laugh yourself into destruction Dismantle the world until you hear That Buried Voices that waits impatient Holds recognition oh so dear Scream Into the World forgotten Not to be ignored A rush of desperate frustration Scream Into the World Scream into the dying heads Burn your tongue on the silence Eyes roll back into the skull The power of noise to cure you all.

Pulse 04:28
lyrics
buy track
Your pulse is finally slowing. Help me stop you from lacerating. You're the flow that keeps me going. My life is your lowest rating but I know... It's the emptiness in you. It's the draining in you.. Cyphen the blood from my veins Your last breath says my name in vain My pulse is barely there There's broken rythm in your bloodshot stare Check my pulse My pulse is finally slowing. Help you stop me from lacerating I'm the flow that keeps you going Your life is my lowest rating but I know... It's the silence in you and I know It's the changing in you. I'm bleeding to death and my body drained I'm bound and tied and kept away A loveless heart without a string to pull Gone from the start just check my pulse.

The Blowtorch 02:47
lyrics
buy track
She sees through rose colored glasses I sit here blindfolded once again So now Im dodging arrows And you don't want to be more than a friend. So you're committing arson again I'm here surrounded in your flame I think we've all heard this one before I sit here fireproof and love lorn Another broken heart story Never seen anyone crying so hard I hear an air raid siren Unheeded warning that burns in the end So you're committing arson again I sit here blowtorched and insane I think we all know that everything's falling apart I sit here fire proof and love lorn.

Sarah Good 04:56
lyrics
buy track
Forlorn, friendless, and forsaken creature A cursed woman with a cruel nature Give me your soul your virtuous signature Drowning will prove if she sinks or floats The maddening glory of those who judge you Bitter injustice and a broken will The stake you burn on will tear us apart The very same that pierces my heart What have we done? Truth be told Too late to believe now low and behold I stand by you when no one will Too late to believe forever until I live for your hypocritic failure Wrongly accused and the Wicked abused What have we done with charity, witheld? Sarah Good I believe in you

Pretty Little Helpless 03:45
lyrics
buy track
Pretty Little Helpless Why Are You So Useless? You're Love is Like a Car Wreck That I Can't Forget. I'm through with being careful You say that you're not loved Applaud the day you leave for good Fake tears leave riverbeds. I'm through with being helpful Can't see through swollen eyes That glare into an empty light Like moths keep coming back Pretty Little Helpless Why Are You So Useless? You're Love is Like a Car Wreck That I Can't Forget. Make me beg Make me regret Close my eyes and let go of the wheel... I know that I've been wreckless It keeps you crawling back With broken words that haunt my days Deception shuts my eyes.

Perfect the Art of Sorrow 04:30
lyrics
buy track
I've found that tears run thicker than blood You crack a smile to fake the sun We find new ways to perfect the art Of constant sorrow and a mending heart Why are you crying? Over absolutely nothing. Perfect the Art of Sorrow Your tears I'll beg and borrow I find! Your tears will be all mine I'll keep them to myself (I crave! Your tears are what I save I'll keep them to myself.) I crack a skull to give up the ghost Alleviate what we hate the most I can't depend on love so strong It finds its way in twisted song.

Bullet Pill 04:26
lyrics
buy track
I don't belong here. I don't even know why I'm still alive. When the change comes I'll waste no time Don't want to descend suicide. As I shake from the pain It's too much for me to fight Feel a quake as the innocence dies... You finally make it crawl and barely fake it 99 percent of you die. I take a bullet shift and trigger pull it Natural suicide I feel no shame It stays the same I feel to blame And then I take it... You try to fake it crawl and barely make it 99 percent of you die I try to take it, slide slither and shake it Natural suicide

A Different Way to Destroy 03:51
lyrics
buy track
I need a new solution One that helps control the tides Your sacred architecture Mass destruction with a price Trade me your eyes for a sign Trade me your life as I slowly die You should be ashamed You should change your ways I'll live to fight another day Destroy the world around me Ignore alll the things you say I'll try to find another way...To Destroy! I need a new perception Time has passed to find a way The time to be effective Another chance to break the day

Bomb Where the Heart Used to Be 03:59
lyrics
buy track
Fall into a flatline Heart beats in dead time Pass over out of body See your ghost inside my mind No saving you No saving me No saving anyone when your pulse is out of beat Fist full of dynamite Heart ticks to end this life Pass over broken time Pull the plug on this life line No saving you No saving me No saving anyone when your pulse is out of beat I've got a war head sitting right behind my eyes She lights the fuse that burns the blood that scatters flies I know the art of breaking hearts and mending days Bomb where the heart used to be justifies my rage

Absent 04:28
lyrics
buy track
Read the fine print that tells me of my future Adjust the lense just right to see it clearly You're still shining down so we can see LIved for the moment atleast you tried to be Look into your crystal ball tell me what you see written on your blank page our favorite story Through the tunnel vision so suddenly Your image burned in time infinitely Believed in something greater than myself Realized no one will help All the things that never make sense We're left to struggle With your absence... Hold out your hand, hope to find a grip Draw a tale of time into your mind Anticipate the last days no one can find Turn the dial and try to rewind

about

Buried Voices were born of a cursed blood oath during a full moon deep in the Carolina woods. Their irreversible affliction joined them to run as a pack in relentless pursuit of a cure. Their wolf pelts provided them a means to conjure heavy sounds and screams that represent the lost and lonely children of the night. The music created barely contains them in human form while the ravenous blood lusting werewolves lurk just underneath the surface.

The group has filled clubs in the South East and played along side acts such as Filter, Straight Line Stitch, and The Independents. The members have played in various bands and similar musical circles since high school. In the early days as a group they cultivated a musical chemistry and style hashing out songs by The Beatles, Nirvana, and other metal, grunge, and punk bands. You will hear influence in Buried Voices music from bands such as Alice in Chains, Black Sabbath, Nirvana, and White Zombie.

“Arson For The Heart”. The album was created over 3 long years, scraping together money playing live gigs, selling T-shirts, and working day jobs. The period saw the departure of an original guitarist and bassist, friends, girlfriends, a rehearsal space, sobriety, blood, sweat, and sanity before coming to fruition. “Arson” was recorded, produced, and engineered by Cory Plaugh at Plaugh’s House Recording Studio; an old friend with a legit studio who had proven himself over and over again in the recording game. The group realized during that session that Cory had a solid ear for the kind of music they wanted to make. Within a short time they started networking, and playing live as often as possible.
Buried Voices are a pack of beer drinking were-wolves who celebrate horror, music, full moons, and their own blood curse. Always forging on, planning the next show, song, T-shirt, album, etc. They live to put on a great show, hone their craft, connect with people, and put out music that they love!

--"The guitar sounds like it’s penetrating the 9th level of hell." --Jamie Funk (theequalground.com)
--"Buried Voices "Arson for the Heart" is truly a great album from start to finish. After listening to a track or two it's easy to forget that you're listening to a "local" band. The album is very polished with great riffs, catchy choruses, a solid rhythm section, and well placed, appropriately used leads. Buried voices are not only radio-friendly, they are radio-ready!" ---Casey Sanders (SCHORN Promotions)
--"I suppose the important thing about playing radio-ready heavy rock music is to sound the part. Lexington quartet Buried Voices certainly hits all the right cues, and the really quite excellent production on Arson for the Heart ensures the bands sledgehammer force hits with maximum impact.--Patrick Wall (Free Times Columbia)
--"Buried Voices are four guys from South Carolina that play the modern day equivalent of Heavy Rock, Heavy Modern Rock maybe? It could probably be labeled as many things at the end of the day, but all that's really important is the music, and it is catchy, groove laden Hard Rock that is often duplicated but very rarely this well, with all of the proverbial gears falling into place perfectly."--Dermie Skipper (Ride With The Devil Music Blog)
