History

Buried Dreams started playing in January 1995, with four members who wanted to share musical ideas and influences, creating their own sound: fast and melodic, powerful and aggressive. In April '95 the band began to play in some gigs, but were not able to play live later that year due to difficulties in the line-up.

They recorded their first promo-demo 'The World beyond' with three songs. One month later Buried Dreams won first place in the 1st National Underground Heavy Metal Contest which led them to sign with Oz Records.

In August '95, with a new member for vocals, the band recorded their first full-lenght album called 'Beyond Your Mind'. After its release the band promoted the album all around Mexico. With this album the band got recognition in the metal scene, and was considered one of the best newcomer bands that year; their live shows undoubtly proved this, having played alongside Cannibal Corpse (twice), Hypocrisy, Impaled Nazarene, In Flames and the German metal legend Helloween. Buried Dreams also toured successfully on the so called Tormentour, with labelmates Shamash and Under Moonlight Sadness together with Disgorge and The Zephyr.

After 2 years of full live activity, Buried Dreams prepared new stuff for a second release. Looking for a better sound, in October '99 the band traveled to Gothenburg, Sweden to the well-known Studio Fredman to record a new album called 'Perceptions' produced by Fredrik Nordström (At The Gates, In Flames, Dark Tranquillity). In November Buried Dreams made its European debut playing in Berlin with a great response from the audience. After the release of the album the band started playing again, but this time they would make their first US appearance at the Milwaukee Metal Fest, with great critics. The success of 'Perceptions' would reach Japan, being released by Soundoholic Records.

The band's 3rd album 'Necrosphere', recorded in February 2002, was produced again by Fredrik Nordström. This work shows a more mature songwriting and an own sound. Continuing with the elements used on their previous albums: melody, atmospheres, rhythm changes, aggressive riffing, with very powerful vocals, they have made their best work up to date. All the energy on the album has even been proved live in a 4 dates tour across Germany together with Mourning Caress, impressing the exigent German metal fans.

The band did split up in 2003.
