It looks like we’re getting closer to new music from After The Burial

After The Burial drummer Dan Carle and singer Anthony Notarmaso spent St. Patrick’s Day holed up in the studio yesterday, Tuesday, March 17, with producer Zach Tuch tracking drums as the duo seems to start recording the sequel to 2019’s “Evergreen”, as per Lambgoat.

Nick Wellner, Trent Hafdahl, Justin Lowe, and Greg Erickson—all of whom met in high school—founded After the Burial in 2004. At first, Dave Coleman filled in on bass. Lee Foral was given a seat in the band after responding to an advertisement on a Twin Cities hardcore bulletin board. Recorded in late 2005, the group’s debut album “Forging a Future Self” was released on March 1st, 2006. Although there was never a formal record deal in place, it was distributed through Corrosive Records. Later, they signed with Sumerian Records, where Grant Luoma from the local band Nostalia joined as a vocalist and Erickson and Wellner left. Erickson was replaced as drummer by Eric Robles, who left before the band’s second album was recorded.

In 2008, the band went into the studio to make “Rareform”, their second studio album. Lowe, the band’s then-current rhythm guitarist, handled all drum programming, and Hafdahl wrote the lyrics because Luoma, the band’s then-current vocalist, wasn’t producing enough. Luoma, the vocalist, was changed shortly after the release. He was replaced by Anthony Notarmaso, and the group added Dan Carle, who is also from Nostalia, to play drums. The band co-headlined a U.S. tour with Veil of Maya in early 2009 after supporting Suicide Silence on The Cleansing The Nation Tour in late 2008.

In September 2009, the group made the decision to rerelease “Rareform” including Notarmaso’s vocals. Bonus material was also included, like live video from the band’s sold-out performance. Together with The Acacia Strain, the band performed on a 10-year anniversary tour for “Rareform” in 2018.
