Album Review: Bury Tomorrow - Will You Haunt Me, With That Same Patience
Reviewed by Tim Finch
Over the past decade, Bury Tomorrow have earned their place as one of the UK’s most consistent and respected names in modern metalcore. Emerging from the Southampton scene in the late 2000s, the band quickly made waves with their blend of crushing heaviness, soaring melodies, and emotionally charged lyricism. While peers have come and gone, Bury Tomorrow have evolved with intent, never losing sight of their core identity, even as they’ve reshaped it.
Their 2023 release The Seventh Sun marked a clear new chapter: a fresh lineup, expanded sound, and a band reborn with something to prove. That album was a statement of resilience and vision, a reassertion that they were not content to rest on past successes. With that momentum, Will You Haunt Me, With That Same Patience arrives not as a comeback, but as a continuation of band on fire.
The album opens with ‘To Dream, To Forget’ and if ever there was a statement of intent, this is it. Kristan Dawson’s guitar wizardry is next level at moments, technical and viciously fast which the melding of clean and growling vocals adds dimensions to their sounds.
Just when you didn’t think it was possible, ‘Villain Arc’ ramps up the intensity, it feels dark, delivered with a forceful anger that will knock the listener over from the opening bars.
The album does vary in pace and styling; ‘Forever The Night’ feels more radio friendly, keeping those traditional Bury Tomorrow elements, but opening a door for new fans. Whilst ‘Waiting’ is a brutal affair from the start with a guttural screams leading into a battering ram drum barrage that is not for the faint of heart.
As Bury Tomorrow albums go, this ones a banger. Where it stands in the pantheon of their back catalogue, well that’s for the listeners to decide. Overall it’s still unmistakably metalcore, but with the emotional intelligence and sonic ambition of a band pushing beyond genre conventions.
