Attrition has been high in the ranks of Buried In Verona since they drew first blood in Sydney's metalcore underground in 2008. They made heavy impact with their Circle the Dead album that year, leading to Gothenburg sessions with melodic metal maestro Fredrik Nordstrom for album two, Saturday Night Sever. A series of injuries and other impasses found vocalist Brett Anderson the sole survivor on Notorious, a more nuanced balance of aggression and beauty that hit the Oz mainstream Top 20 in 2012. American management and a simmering worldwide groundswell accompanied the Michigan-made fourth album, Faceless, in 2014.
