Buried Alive is a hardcore punk[1] band from Buffalo, New York that existed in the late 1990s and was signed to Victory Records. The band featured the now current singer of Terror, Scott Vogel, who had previously sang in Slugfest and Despair, and played drums in Cinderblock and Fadeaway.[2]
Buried Alive were at the forefront of the late 1990s hardcore scene and despite their short-lived career, are credited with influencing many of today's more popular hardcore acts. BA's genre defying power was best seen by the diversity of bands they toured with, including Snapcase, Vision of Disorder, 7 Seconds, Kid Dynamite, Hot Water Music, Elliott, Skarhead, Converge, Candiria, All Out War, and Reach the Sky. Lead singer Scott Vogel disbanded the outfit to form Los Angeles hardcore band Terror. Primary songwriters Matt Roberts and Joe Orlando still perform together in the Buffalo-based band MOTHER RED. Buried Alive was asked to contribute an unreleased and exclusive song for Redstar Records to use on their Various Artists compilation, The Sound and the Fury, following a show they played headlining for Every Time I Die and Kid Gorgeous in 1999, but it did not happen.[3] The unreleased song was later released on their Watchmen Session '98 demo EP.
The band reformed in 2020 to record Death Will Find You on Bridge 9 Records. The four-track EP is their first recording in two decades.[4]
