Following their heavy-as-all full-length debut, Arkansas’ Pallbearer have posted a new track, “The Ghost I Used to Be,” online as a teaser for their forthcoming opus, “Foundations of Burden,” scheduled to be released on Profound Lore this August.
Recorded in Portland, OR by Billy Anderson (Neurosis, Sleep, Agalloch, The Melvins), “Foundations of Burden” is shaping up to be an engaging and progressive album, and no doubt a solid step forward from the band’s acclaimed debut, “Sorrow and Extinction.” This time around, Pallbearer have added in vibrant and lush musical elements along with a new vocal dynamic that perfectly matches the melancholy atmosphere they create. Despite the newer elements the listener will still hear the doomy and dense background that put the band on the metal radar.
In a move to support the album’s release in Europe, Pallbearer will team up with the reunited Yob in a European trek set to take place this September, with dates as follows:
