Key Information
History
[edit]Formation and debut album Portraits (2006–2010)
[edit]The band was formed in 2006 in Hampshire, England, with their initial line-up consisting of rhythm guitarist and singer Jason Cameron, drummer Adam Jackson, lead vocalist Daniel Winter-Bates, his brother bassist Davyd Winter-Bates and lead guitarist Mehdi Vismara.[1] The band, despite reading in press that "metalcore" had become a dirty word of such, was adamant to prove that the metalcore genre was still relevant.[2] In 2007, they self-released their debut EP The Sleep of the Innocents.[1]
Their debut album Portraits was released through Basick Records in Britain in October 2009.[3] Two music videos were shot to support the release of the album, but only one, "You & I", was broadcast on music channels. The music video for "You & I" was recorded at Southampton Solent University and featured Bury Tomorrow performing to 200 fans. The video was shot over the course of two days, with the second day focusing on the band performing. "You & I" was broadcast on MTV2 in the United States, Scuzz in the United Kingdom and on Much Music in Canada.[4] Portraits was then released through Artery Recordings in March 2010 in Japan and the United States.[3] Bury Tomorrow toured continuously over the course of 2010, touring across the United States, Europe and Japan.[5] In their tours in 2010, the band supported Asking Alexandria, Of Mice & Men, Sleeping with Sirens, and Pierce the Veil.[2]
The Union of Crowns and Vismara's departure (2011–2013)
[edit]
In 2011, the band was pressured by their American record label Artery Recordings to move and base themselves in the United States. Bury Tomorrow's band members perceived this as an attempt to manipulate them and change them into something they were not by suggesting they should incorporate more electronic elements into their music style.[6][7][2] While they rejected moving, communication broke down between them and Artery Recordings and the band ended up losing their North American and Japanese record label as well as their American agency.[6][7]
The band was very low on money and could not afford to go to the studio to record the album they had written in 2011.[7] Their agent managed to get them performances at Slam Dunk Festival and Ghostfest in Leeds.[2]
Their performances at these festivals were met with a positive response from fans.[8] At Ghostfest, Bury Tomorrow met their future band manager, who suggested that they shelf the album they had been writing. Instead, they wrote and recorded "Lionheart", the first single for what would later become their second album, released on 8 September 2011 and accompanied by a music video released on 13 September.[8] Bury Tomorrow supported British metalcore band While She Sleeps in October, with a follow-up UK headline tour in December.[9][10][11] On 6 December, two days before the band started the headline tour, a video was released for their single "Royal Blood", directed by Thomas Welsh. "Royal Blood" was later broadcast on Radio 1 on Christmas Eve during its daytime programme.[8]
Bury Tomorrow spent the first few months of 2012 recording their second album, with only a few tour dates in the first half of 2012 to support the album's release. Starting on 18 March by headlining Southampton's Takedown Festival, they went on to support Of Mice & Men and appear at Hit The Deck Festival in April before appearing at Greenfield Festival on 17 June and at Ghostfest in Leeds on 30 June.[12][13][14] In April 2012, Bury Tomorrow announced that they had signed to Nuclear Blast and confirmed the album art, track listing and release date of their second album, The Union of Crowns. The band said that signing to the new record label allowed them to record it the way they wanted to, which they would not be able to do with their old label, Artery Recordings.[15] The album was recorded in Ridgeway Sound Studio in Wantage and was released on 13 July in Europe, 16 July in the United Kingdom and 17 July in the United States.[16]
Two singles were released in 2012 to promote The Union of Crowns: "An Honourable Reign", which was premiered on BBC Radio 1 and "Knight Life".[17][18] In the United Kingdom, the album debuted at number 6 on the Rock & Metal Chart, and in the United States, it peaked at number 25 on the Top Heatseekers chart and sold 1,062 copies in its first week.[19][20] Bury Tomorrow played a single date on 10 July at the Camden Underworld supporting I Killed the Prom Queen on their European tour, before appearing at Hevy Music Festival in early August.[21][22] They also toured Britain with Architects in November alongside Deez Nuts and The Acacia Strain. This tour was wrapped around both Bury Tomorrow's and Architects' appearance at UK Warped Tour, including at Alexandra Palace in London on 10 November 2012.[23][24]
In late January 2013, the band announced that lead guitarist Mehdi Vismara had left Bury Tomorrow and that Kristan Dawson would assume his position. They described Dawson as a more technical and riff-heavy guitarist, saying that this complements the band's stylistic ideas for their third album.[25] In February, the band supported The Ghost Inside on the "Rock Sound Impericon Exposure Tour" across the United Kingdom.[26] Vocalist Daniel Winter-Bates made a guest appearance on the song "Broken Lights" from Heart in Hand's album Almost There, which was released on 11 February.
Bury Tomorrow ended the promotion of The Union of Crowns in 2013 after appearing at several festivals, including Slam Dunk, Download, Greenfield, Reading and Leeds Festivals, Summerjam, Schools Out, Pell Mell and SummerBlast, as well as touring both in the UK in September and outside of the UK.[27][28][29][25] Rock Sound praised their performance at Leeds Festival, writing: "They came as underdogs, but given the reception they're afforded this afternoon, it's safe to say that Bury Tomorrow will be leaving with more than a few new friends."[30] Bury Tomorrow then went to the United States in October to write and record their third album.[25][28]
Runes (2014–2015)
[edit]On 6 January 2014, Bury Tomorrow announced the release of a third studio album, titled Runes, on 26 May through Nuclear Blast, as well as the release of an exclusive track from the album, titled "Watcher", which premiered on the Radio 1 Rock Show at midnight on 6 January.[31] They also announced a headline European tour with Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!, Demoraliser and Napoleon, taking place in May.[32][non-primary source needed][33][non-primary source needed] The music video for the first single from Runes titled "Man on Fire" was released on 25 February, followed on 13 May by "Of Glory".[34][35] The album itself was made available for exclusive streaming by Rock Sound on 21 May 2014 a few days before its release on 26 May.[36]
By 1 June 2014, it had reached number 1 on the official UK Rock chart and number 34 in the official UK Album chart.[citation needed] Later in June, the band announced another European headline tour, set for October, with support from Hands Like Houses, In Hearts Wake and Slaves.[37] In February 2015, they toured the UK with Don Broco, We Are the in Crowd and Beartooth as part of that year's Kerrang! Tour.[38]
Earthbound (2016–2017)
[edit]
While performing at Slam Dunk North 2015, Bury Tomorrow announced that they had just finished working on their fourth full-length album, but did not reveal when it will be released.[39][non-primary source needed] At Reading and Leeds Festival 2015, they debuted the first song from the album.[citation needed] On 1 November, they officially released the song, titled "Earthbound" and accompanied by a music video.[40][non-primary source needed] At the same time, the band announced that their fourth album, also titled Earthbound, is set for release worldwide on 29 January 2016 through Nuclear Blast.[41]
On 9 January 2016, three weeks before the album release, the band released the second single of the album "Last Light" and its corresponding music video.[42] On 15 February, Bury Tomorrow signed to UPRAWR Music Publishing.[43] On 25 November, nine months after the album release, the band released a music video for the song "Cemetery" and made it as the third and last single of the album.[44]
In an interview with Dead Press! on 15 April 2017, frontman Daniel confirmed that the band had written some of the follow-up to Earthbound and that they plan on recording at some point later in the year.[45] In the same interview, he also disclosed that the band intend to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Portraits in some way once it comes about in 2019.
Black Flame (2017–2019)
[edit]On 27 October 2017, the band left Nuclear Blast and confirmed their signing with Sony Music and Music For Nations.[46] During the months of October and November, the band headlined their "Stage Invasion" tour with metalcore band Loathe as their support act.[47]
On 13 April 2018, the band released the lead single and title track "Black Flame" along with an accompanying music video. That same day, the band revealed the track list, album's official artwork and announced that their fifth studio album, the first distributed by the new labels, Black Flame, was set for release on 13 July 2018.[48][49] On 1 June, the band released the second single "Knife of Gold" and its corresponding music video.[50] On 29 June, two weeks before the album release a music video for the song "The Age" and made it as the third and last single of the album.[51]

That same day, the band revealed the track list, album's official artwork and announced that their new upcoming sixth studio album Cannibal was set for release on 3 April 2020.[55]
On 13 February, the band released the third single of the album titled "Choke".[56] On 20 March, presumably due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic concerns, the band announced that they delayed the release of the album to 3 July in a bid to help them properly promote it.[57] On 2 April, the band released the fourth single "Better Below" along with an accompanying music video.[58] On 26 June, a week before the album release, the band released their fifth single "Gods & Machines".[59] On 13 July 2021, the band announced that founding rhythm guitarist and clean vocalist Jason Cameron departed from the band on good terms.[60]

Musical style
[edit]Bury Tomorrow have been described as metalcore,[1][78][79][80] melodic metalcore,[1][30][81][82][83] and post-hardcore.[1][84] AllMusic writer Gregory Heaney wrote: "Offsetting layers of pleasant, atmospheric melody with sudden bursts of chugging heaviness, the band uses its breakdowns to create a brooding, moody effect, as if the songs are lurching into a fit when provoked from their somber ruminations."[1] Vocalist Daniel Winter-Bates has stated that he likes the ability of his band to go "heavier" and "lighter" with ease.[85]
The band has referred to older metalcore bands as their primary source of influence, with Metal Hammer journalist Merlin Alderslade commenting on their style by saying "the quintet's blend of fierce, melodic death metal-inspired riffage and gloriously anthematic choruses was seen as of the crowning achievements of a new generation of metal bands that had been weaned on a diet of The End of Heartache, Waking the Fallen and Reroute to Remain."[7] Prior to the release of their third album, Runes, Bury Tomorrow stated that it was going to be more technical, "old school" and in line with artists like As I Lay Dying and Killswitch Engage than their previous releases.[25]

Bury Tomorrow formed in 2006 in Southampton, England, when brothers Dani Winter-Bates on vocals and Davyd Winter-Bates on bass united with local musicians to create a metalcore project rooted in the UK's burgeoning underground scene.[4] The band drew inspiration from the aggressive breakdowns and melodic hooks of American metalcore acts, aiming to fuse heavy riffs with clean vocal harmonies to craft anthemic tracks that resonated with the era's post-hardcore influences.[13] Early motivations stemmed from the brothers' shared passion for bands like Killswitch Engage and the rising UK scene exemplified by Architects, pushing them to develop a sound that balanced raw intensity with emotional depth.[13] The original lineup consisted of Dani Winter-Bates on lead vocals, Davyd Winter-Bates on bass, Jason Cameron on rhythm guitar, Mehdi Vismara on lead guitar, and Adam Jackson on drums.[14] This core group self-released their debut EP, The Sleep of the Innocents, in 2007, a five-track effort featuring songs like "Salvation & the Martyr" and "Before the Silence" that showcased their nascent blend of screamed verses and soaring choruses.[15] Building grassroots momentum through local Southampton gigs, the band honed their dual-vocal style—Dani's versatile screams and cleans—while navigating the DIY ethos of the UK metalcore circuit. In February 2009, Bury Tomorrow signed with Basick Records, a label known for supporting emerging heavy acts, which paved the way for their full-length debut.[16] Portraits arrived on October 12, 2009, produced and mixed by Weller Hill at Wellerhill Productions, with the album's 11 tracks—including standouts "Confessions," "You & I," and the title track—capturing the band's evolution toward more structured songwriting.[17] Recorded amid a tight schedule, the effort emphasized thematic exploration of personal struggle and resilience, as reflected in lyrics drawing from literary influences like Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray.[18] Early tours solidified their reputation, with the band securing support slots on UK bills alongside acts like Bring Me the Horizon and Cancer Bats in 2010, while headlining smaller venues to cultivate a dedicated fanbase through relentless live energy.[19] By 2010, they had expanded to international dates in Europe and Japan, performing over 140 shows that year alone and fostering word-of-mouth growth in the underground scene.[19] Critics praised Portraits for its raw aggression and Dani Winter-Bates' commanding dual vocals, with reviews highlighting the album's polished production and memorable hooks as key to establishing Bury Tomorrow's melodic metalcore identity.[18] Though sales were modest initially, the release sold steadily through independent channels and helped the band secure a foothold, setting the stage for broader recognition without compromising their aggressive roots.[20]The Union of Crowns and early lineup changes (2011–2013)
In early 2011, following the success of their debut album Portraits, Bury Tomorrow signed a deal with Nuclear Blast Records, marking a significant step toward larger-scale production and international exposure.[21] The band entered the studio later that year to record their second full-length album, The Union of Crowns, which was produced by Antony Smith and Pedro Teixeira and featured a polished sound incorporating orchestral elements for a more cinematic atmosphere.[22] Released on July 13, 2012, via Nuclear Blast, the album highlighted tracks such as "Villain" and "Lionheart," showcasing the band's evolution from raw metalcore roots to a blend of aggressive riffs and melodic orchestration.[23] The Union of Crowns received critical acclaim for its production quality and musical growth, with reviewers noting the introduction of cleaner tones and symphonic layers that elevated the band's sound beyond typical metalcore conventions.[24] Commercially, it debuted at No. 6 on the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart, No. 11 on the UK Independent Albums Chart, and No. 3 on the UK Indie Breakers Chart, solidifying Bury Tomorrow's presence in the British heavy music scene.[25] The release was supported by extensive touring, including a headline UK run in late 2012 and appearances at major European festivals such as Download and Sonisphere, where the band shared stages with acts like Bullet for My Valentine.[26] These performances, often featuring the dual-vocal dynamic established in their early years, helped build a dedicated fanbase across the continent.[27] The period following the album's promotion saw the band's first major lineup shift in 2013, when founding lead guitarist Mehdi Vismara departed due to creative differences.[28] Vismara's exit, after contributing to the band's core sound since 2006, led to temporary reliance on session guitarists for live shows, while the group began searching for a permanent replacement—eventually welcoming Kristan Dawson later that year.[29] This change tested the band's resilience but allowed them to maintain momentum, further establishing their reputation as a rising force in UK metalcore.[30]Runes and Earthbound (2014–2017)
In late 2013, Bury Tomorrow announced their third studio album, Runes, which was recorded at CDS Studios with producer Mike Curtis and mixed by Joe Barresi.[31] The album was released on May 30, 2014, through Nuclear Blast Records, featuring tracks such as "Man on Fire," "Shadow, a Creator," and "Watcher."[32] It debuted at No. 1 on the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart, marking a significant commercial breakthrough for the band.[33] Lyrically, Runes drew from ancient rune symbolism, with each track exploring themes of personal battles against adversity, loss, and inner demons, reflecting frontman Dani Winter-Bates' struggles with depression during this period.[34] The album incorporated electronic synth elements and djent-inspired riffs, building on the orchestral influences from their prior work while emphasizing aggressive, melodic metalcore structures. Following the release, Bury Tomorrow embarked on extensive touring to support Runes, including their first Australian headline tour in October 2014 and a co-headlining appearance with While She Sleeps at the Download Festival that June.[35] In 2015, the band made their US debut supporting Parkway Drive on select dates and performed on the Vans Warped Tour across multiple stops, expanding their international presence.[36] These tours solidified lineup stability, with no major changes during the period, allowing the band to focus on live performances that highlighted the album's emotional intensity. Reception praised Runes for its raw emotional depth and technical precision, helping to grow the band's fanbase beyond the UK.[37] The band's fourth album, Earthbound, was produced by Caleb Shomo of Beartooth and released on January 29, 2016, via Nuclear Blast, featuring standout tracks like "Earthbound," "Wilderness," and "Cemetery."[38] It peaked at No. 2 on the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart, showcasing an evolution toward heavier, djent-influenced riffs and atmospheric builds that amplified the metalcore sound.[33] The title track's music video, directed by Max Moore, depicted themes of isolation and resilience, aligning with the album's exploration of personal turmoil and perseverance.[39] In 2017, Earthbound received a digital re-release with bonus tracks, including acoustic versions and live recordings, coinciding with the band's Australian tour that year.[23] Critics lauded the album for its technical prowess and heavier edge, further cementing Bury Tomorrow's reputation for blending melody with aggression and contributing to their expanding global audience.[40]Black Flame (2018–2019)
Following their departure from Nuclear Blast Records in late 2017, Bury Tomorrow signed a new deal with Music for Nations, an imprint of Sony Music, in early 2018.[41] The band's fifth studio album, Black Flame, was produced by Dan Weller and recorded over the course of 2017 and 2018 before its release on July 13, 2018, through the new label.[42] The record debuted at No. 21 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 3 on the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart, marking the band's continued commercial growth in the metalcore scene.[33] Black Flame explores darker lyrical themes of loss, betrayal, and resilience, drawing from frontman Dani Winter-Bates' personal struggles with stress and life's pressures, including family hardships that shaped the album's emotional core.[43] Musically, the album intensifies the electronic and synth elements introduced in prior works like Runes, incorporating glitchy atmospheric layers, heavier breakdowns, and a blend of melodic clean vocals with aggressive screams for a more experimental edge.[44] Tracks like the title song "Black Flame" and "Knife of Gold" exemplify this evolution, with the former opening the record through atmospheric synths leading into crushing riffs and the latter featuring intricate guitar work alongside electronic flourishes.[45] To promote Black Flame, Bury Tomorrow launched a headline European tour in October 2018, supported by acts including Loathe and Prowler, spanning dates across the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands. They also provided direct support for Slipknot's select UK arena shows in December 2018 at venues like Manchester Arena and London's O2, exposing the band to larger audiences. Additionally, the group secured a main stage slot at Bloodstock Open Air in August 2018, where they delivered a high-energy set blending new material with fan favorites amid the festival's heavy metal lineup.[46] The album's lead singles, "Black Flame" (April 2018) and "Knife of Gold" (June 2018), were accompanied by official music videos directed by Orie McGinness, emphasizing narrative themes of inner conflict and revenge through cinematic visuals.[47] While specific collaboration teases emerged during promotion, such as hints at guest features in interviews, none materialized on the standard release.[48] Critics offered mixed reception to Black Flame, praising its ambitious production and melodic depth but critiquing the experimental electronic shifts as occasionally overpowering the core metalcore sound; outlets like Sputnikmusic noted the "jaded contrast" in vocal delivery and riffs as a highlight amid production debates.[49] Fan support remained robust, with strong streaming numbers and sold-out tour dates underscoring the album's resonance within the metalcore community.[42] In June 2019, a deluxe edition was issued, expanding the tracklist with the new song "Glasswalk," live recordings of "Black Flame," "No Less Violent," and "The Age" from a London show, and additional remixes to extend the album's lifespan.[50] Throughout 2019, Bury Tomorrow focused on touring, including a full-album Black Flame UK headline run in December, while members engaged in acoustic sessions reinterpreting tracks for intimate settings and pursued side projects like production collaborations.[25] The period saw no major lineup disruptions, allowing the band to solidify their momentum ahead of future endeavors.[51]Cannibal and Jason Cameron's departure (2020–2021)
Bury Tomorrow's sixth studio album, Cannibal, was recorded in 2019 and released on July 3, 2020, through Music For Nations, following a postponement from its original April date due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[52][53] The record marked a return to the band's raw metalcore roots, incorporating aggressive riffs and breakdowns while carrying over subtle electronic elements from their previous album Black Flame. Singles such as "Cannibal" and "Choke" highlighted this intensity, with Cannibal reaching No. 1 on the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart and the full album peaking at No. 10 on the UK Albums Chart—its highest position to date.[33][33] Lyrically, Cannibal explored themes of anger, survival, and mental health struggles, drawing from frontman Daniel Winter-Bates' personal experiences with self-doubt and emotional turmoil, which resonated deeply amid the isolation of the pandemic.[54] The album's release occurred during global lockdowns, preventing traditional touring and leading to virtual promotions, including online listening events and home-recorded performance videos to engage fans remotely. No live shows took place until 2021, as the band adapted to restrictions that halted their planned album launch tour.[55] In 2021, as lockdowns eased in the UK, Bury Tomorrow resumed limited live performances, including rescheduled headline shows in May across cities like Leeds, Kingston, and Southampton. These post-lockdown appearances allowed the band to reconnect with audiences after over a year away from stages. The year also saw guest spots at festivals, such as Slam Dunk Festival, where they tested a temporary lineup configuration.[56][57] On July 13, 2021, founding guitarist and clean vocalist Jason Cameron departed the band after 15 years, citing creative differences that made it clear the members were no longer aligned; the split was described as amicable in the official announcement posted on social media. Cameron's exit, following the challenges of the pandemic era, prompted the remaining members to begin auditioning potential replacements to maintain their momentum.[58][29] Critics praised Cannibal for its ferocious energy and emotional depth, with outlets highlighting its brutal riffs and anthemic choruses as a high point in the band's discography, further solidifying their relevance in the post-pandemic metalcore landscape.[59][60] The album's commercial success and thematic timeliness helped Bury Tomorrow navigate the disruptions of 2020–2021, setting the stage for future evolution.[61]The Seventh Sun and new members (2022–2023)
In early 2022, Bury Tomorrow refreshed their lineup following the departures from the previous year, welcoming rhythm guitarist Ed Hartwell (formerly of Heart in Hand) and multi-instrumentalist Tom Prendergast on keyboards and clean vocals. The additions were officially announced on March 24, 2022, alongside the release of the single "Death (Ever Colder)," which introduced the new members' contributions to the band's evolving sound.[62] The band's seventh studio album, The Seventh Sun, was recorded throughout 2022 and produced by Dan Weller at Vada Studios in Birmingham, England. Released on March 31, 2023, through Music for Nations, the album marked the first full-length effort featuring Hartwell and Prendergast, blending the core rhythm section's established stability with progressive metalcore elements, ambient interludes, and soaring clean vocal layers. Lyrically, it explores themes of renewal, hope, and post-departure unity, serving as a "statement of intent" for the band's next chapter, with tracks like "Wrath" exemplifying the mix of aggressive riffs and melodic introspection. The record debuted at No. 35 on the UK Albums Chart, reflecting sustained fan support amid the lineup changes. Promotion included visually striking singles, such as the cinematic music video for "Heretic" (featuring While She Sleeps' Loz Taylor), which premiered in February 2023 and tied into limited-edition merchandise bundles emphasizing the album's themes of rebirth. In support of the release, Bury Tomorrow embarked on a full European headline tour in spring 2023, followed by U.S. dates in May, showcasing the refreshed lineup's cohesion on stages across the continent.[63][64][65] Critics and fans acclaimed The Seventh Sun for injecting fresh energy into the band's catalog, praising its balance of heaviness and emotional depth as a successful comeback following lineup instability. Reviews highlighted the new members' seamless integration, with outlets like Kerrang! noting the album's "blistering, heavy assault" and renewed vitality, while fan discussions positioned it as a pivotal return to form without further departures disrupting the momentum.[66][67][68]Will You Haunt Me, With That Same Patience (2024–2025)
In November 2024, Bury Tomorrow announced their eighth studio album, Will You Haunt Me, With That Same Patience, set for release the following year through Music for Nations.[69] The album, produced by Carl Bown, features 11 tracks that build on the band's metalcore foundation with refined production elements, including soaring clean vocals and dynamic guitar work. Key singles such as "Forever The Night" and "What If I Burn" highlight this evolution, with "Forever The Night" released on April 25, 2025, accompanied by an official visualizer emphasizing its emotional intensity.[70] These tracks debuted strongly on the UK Rock Chart, reaching No. 2, underscoring the band's continued chart presence.[33] The album's themes center on reflection, patience amid personal struggles, and the haunting weight of past experiences, juxtaposed with hope and maturity in navigating grief, love, and life's uncertainties.[12] Songs like "To Dream, To Forget" and "What If I Burn" (the latter unveiled in November 2024) explore these ideas through melancholic atmospheres and anthemic builds, incorporating guest features and polished arrangements that add depth without straying from the band's aggressive core.[71] The stable lineup, bolstered by additions from 2022, has enabled these more intricate compositions, allowing for seamless shifts between brutal riffs and emotive choruses.[72] Promotional efforts included videos that delve into the lyrical vulnerability, such as the visualizer for "Forever The Night," which captures the tension of clinging to fleeting moments.[73] Following the album's May 16, 2025, release, Bury Tomorrow embarked on an extensive 2025 world tour, including support slots for Electric Callboy across Europe and North America, alongside UK headline dates in October.[11] Festival appearances at events like Download and Resurrection further amplified their live presence, with sets blending new material from Will You Haunt Me, With That Same Patience alongside fan favorites.[74] A standout performance occurred at the O2 Institute in Birmingham on October 12, 2025, where live reviews praised the band's explosive energy, tight execution of tracks like "Forever The Night," and the crowd's fervent response to the album's emotional highs. Beyond the album cycle, frontman Dani Winter-Bates contributed vocals to As Everything Unfolds' single "What You Wanted," released on November 6, 2025, via Century Media Records, adding his signature intensity to the track's anthemic metalcore sound.[75] Reception for Will You Haunt Me, With That Same Patience has been largely positive, with critics highlighting its evolved, personal sound and ability to balance aggression with introspection, though some noted it as a solid but not revolutionary entry in the band's discography.[72] As of November 2025, the band maintains a stable lineup and has teased potential future projects, including possible deluxe editions of the album featuring additional content.[76]Musical style and influences
Core elements and evolution
Bury Tomorrow's core sound is firmly rooted in metalcore, characterized by aggressive breakdowns, intricate rhythmic structures, and a balance of heaviness and melody that draws from melodic death metal influences. The band's instrumental foundation features complex guitar work, often utilizing 7-string guitars for djent-inspired riffs and dynamic tempo shifts that create a sense of urgency and progression within tracks. Vocal elements typically combine harsh screams delivered by frontman Dani Winter-Bates with contrasting clean vocals, initially provided by guitarist Jason Cameron and later by dedicated band member Tom Prendergast since 2022, enhancing the emotional contrast central to their style.[13][77][78] Key influences shaping this sound include pioneering metalcore acts such as Killswitch Engage and As I Lay Dying, alongside melodic death metal stalwarts like At The Gates and post-hardcore innovators Poison the Well, which inform their blend of raw aggression and accessible hooks. Production has evolved significantly from the raw, indie aesthetic of their 2009 debut Portraits, which captured an unpolished energy true to their early days, to the more cinematic and refined polish evident in The Union of Crowns (2012) and subsequent releases, allowing greater emphasis on atmospheric depth without sacrificing intensity.[13][79][77] Over time, the band's evolution has incorporated electronic synths and ambient textures starting prominently in albums like Runes (2014) and expanding in later works such as Earthbound (2016) and [The Seventh Sun](/page/The Seventh Sun) (2023), marking a shift toward progressive and atmospheric elements while maintaining metalcore's core ferocity. This progression reflects a deliberate move away from genre constraints, with technical solos by guitarist Kristan Dawson and synth integrations by keyboardist Tom Prendergast adding layers of complexity, as seen in the eclectic, mood-driven soundscapes of their 2020s output.[80][34][81]Lyrical themes
Bury Tomorrow's lyrics frequently explore themes of personal struggle, loss, and resilience, drawing heavily from frontman Dani Winter-Bates' own experiences with mental health challenges. Early works like the 2009 album Portraits convey raw aggression and confrontation with inner enemies, as seen in tracks depicting scarred faces and fading mortal lives amid betrayal and self-doubt.[82] This intensity reflects a youthful fury against personal adversaries, setting a foundation for the band's emotional lyricism. By the 2014 album Runes, the focus shifted toward depression and unseen illnesses, with songs like "Man on Fire" portraying the suffocating grip of mental turmoil through metaphors of being consumed by inner fire and pleas for release.[83] Similarly, "Darker Water" evokes isolation and loss of clarity, using imagery of rising storms and submerged serpents to symbolize unraveling self-perception and unharnessed inner forces.[84] The band's lyrical evolution progresses from this early aggression to greater introspection and maturity in later releases. Albums such as Cannibal (2020) and The Seventh Sun (2023) delve deeply into vulnerability, examining the cyclical nature of mental health battles and the search for recovery, with Cannibal specifically addressing Winter-Bates' struggles with severe depression during prior cycles.[85] In The Seventh Sun, themes of self-reflection and societal frustration build on this, portraying a journey from personal devastation toward collective endurance.[86] The 2025 album Will You Haunt Me, With That Same Patience introduces motifs of haunting persistence and quiet hope, emphasizing how past pains recur in the mind while urging patience and connection amid division.[12] This maturation mirrors broader life experiences, including loss, where tracks like those on Black Flame (2018) confront death's equality and unmarked graves as symbols of unresolved sorrow.[87] Winter-Bates plays a central role in this autobiographical approach, infusing lyrics with raw vulnerability through his screamed verses that expose pain, contrasted by clean vocals that introduce elements of hope and resolution. His writing process often stems from personal demons, as he has shared in discussions about baring his soul to confront hidden truths.[88] This duality enhances the emotional depth, allowing screams to embody despair while melodic lines suggest perseverance. Beyond individual narratives, Bury Tomorrow's lyrics promote broader messages of mental health advocacy and unity, encouraging listeners to normalize conversations about invisible struggles and support one another. Tracks like "Man on Fire" exemplify perseverance against societal blurring of real and fake pains, resonating as calls to break free from silence.[83] Winter-Bates has actively facilitated safe spaces during tours to discuss these issues, reinforcing the band's commitment to empathy in the metal scene.[89] In the metalcore community, these lyrics have cultivated a strong cultural impact for their relatability, fostering a sense of shared resilience among fans facing similar hardships and positioning Bury Tomorrow as a voice for emotional authenticity in heavy music.[90]Band members

Bury Tomorrow's former members include founding lead guitarist Mehdi Vismara, who joined upon the band's inception in 2006 and remained until January 2013. Vismara contributed significantly to the group's early songwriting, co-composing tracks on albums such as Portraits (2009) and The Union of Crowns (2012), helping shape their initial metalcore sound with intricate guitar work. The band announced their amicable split, attributing it primarily to personal differences that led to a mutual decision to part ways.[28] Another key former member was founding rhythm guitarist and clean vocalist Jason Cameron, who was involved from 2006 until his departure in July 2021. Cameron played a pivotal role in the band's evolution, providing melodic clean vocals and rhythmic guitar elements across all releases up to Cannibal (2020), including hits like "Man On Fire" and "Darker Water."
