Buried Alive took the torch lit by vocalist Scott Vogel's former bands and ran with it full force, bringing their punishing metalcore to a national audience via incessant touring, one blistering full-length album, and a posthumous release of later-era demos. Similar to genre standard-bearers Hatebreed, Buried Alive's music was stomping, plodding, and heavy. It often picked up the pace a bit to get the mosh pit moving and always strengthened by Vogel's commanding vocal presence and rather bleak lyrical topics. Buried Alive formed in Buffalo after the dissolution of Vogel's former band, Despair, who had released records via Trustkill and Initial during their short but prolific career. Vogel, with a member of Snapcase, had also been a part of Slugfest, so getting Buried Alive noticed quickly in the hardcore scene was a no-brainer once they got moving with a two-song demo and smattering of live performances. Formed in 1998, the band -- whose final lineup also included guitarists Matt Roberts and Scott Sprigg, bassist Joe Orlando, and drummer Kevin Corcoran -- was quickly snatched up by Chicago's Victory imprint. They released a 7" single with them, Six Month Face, followed by a full-length album, The Death of Your Perfect World. Following a healthy amount of time on the road with bands like Skarhead and Madball, Buried Alive decided to call it a day shortly after completing demos for a second album, which were later compiled and released by Victory as Last Rites in 2000.
This band featured the now current singer of Terror, Scott Vogel.

Buried Alive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where there's no feelings, there can't be pain
Where there's no trust, there's no betrayal
Where your taught not to care, all that grows inside is hate.
Where their solution is violence, violence is your escape
Suffering my own demons.Take a good look at what you've done to me
When you don't open up, there's nothing inside to break
And if you let no one close,there's no one to push away
So take a good look at what you've done to me
Left alone, so I'll stay alone and in myself ill believe
In the song "Numb" by Buried Alive, the lyrics are an honest expression of the singer's innermost feelings. The first few lines reflect how the singer is tormented by his own inner demons, which makes it difficult for him to feel anything, even pain. He appears to be emotionally detached due to the negative experiences he has had to deal with in life, leading to him feeling numb. This emotional numbness makes it hard for him to build relationships based on trust as noted in the lyrics. He believes that he's learned not to care, which has only led to his feelings of hate that continue to grow. The only way he knows how to address the situation is through violence as described in the line, "Where their solution is violence,violence is your escape."
