BTBAM Bassist Dan Briggs Unveils New Song by Nightmare Scenario Solo Project

Between the Buried and Me bassist Dan Briggs cannot stay still. When he’s not doing BTBAM — who, need I remind you, released TWO albums this year, toured the U.S. twice and are about to tour Europe — he stays busy with jazz-fusion band Trioscapes and prog rock outfit Orbs. As if that weren’t enough he’s got a solo project called Nightmare Scenario which I didn’t even know existed until now. Jeez dude, when do you sleep??

The new Nightmare Scenario song “Earth Below” sounds like it was written by someone who doesn’t sleep, which makes a whole lot of sense. Deep electronic, almost synthwave-y keyboards burble throughout on top of a low key, chilled out backbeat while spacey, ethereal vocals (performed by Briggs) interweave with repetitive keyboard lines and the occasional distorted guitar chug for emphasis. It’s dark as fuck. This is music for heroin dens, it’s music for sleepless nights, it’s music for the hopeless doldrums of winter… you get the point.

Purchase “Earth Below” here and listen below. Nightmare Scenario released another song called “The Grinch Suite” last year.
