Rareform

Rareform is the second studio album by American progressive metal band After the Burial. It was released on July 22, 2008, through Sumerian Records.

In September 2018, After the Burial began a 10-year anniversary tour with The Acacia Strain, Erra, and Make Them Suffer, where After the Burial played the record in full.

Reissue
On September 15, 2009, the band released a re-mixed and re-mastered version of Rareform with alternative artwork and bonus features. The vocals on the reissue were re-recorded with the band's current vocalist, Anthony Notormaso (in contrast to Grant Luoma, who performed lead vocals for the original version of Rareform). Contrary to popular belief, the drums were not actually re-recorded by Dan Carle live and were still programmed for the reissue of the album, albeit remixed extensively. Both editions of the album were produced by the band's rhythm guitarist, Justin Lowe.
