PALLBEARER’s highly-anticipated new album, Mind Burns Alive, is out now! To mark this release, the band has unveiled a video for the title track, directed by Dan Almasy, who has conjured all the visual horrors for the album.
“This album is for everyone who has ever felt overcome by life’s malevolent turns, for those who have watched people you care about descend into the shadows of themselves, for those who search for something to believe in and come up wanting,” vocalist/guitarist Brett Campbell shares. “This world is relentless; it will devour you, and we must lift each other up to survive.”
PALLBEARER is Brett Campbell (vocals/electric guitar/synthesizer), Devin Holt (electric and acoustic guitar/vocals), Mark Lierly (drums/percussion), and Joseph D. Rowland (vocals/bass guitar/synthesizer).
The Little Rock, Arkansas-based band formed in 2008 and have since released five albums: MIND BURNS ALIVE (2024), FORGOTTEN DAYS (2020), HEARTLESS (2017), FOUNDATIONS OF BURDEN (2014), and SORROW AND EXTINCTION (2012).
In their review of FORGOTTEN DAYS, PITCHFORK described the foursome’s music as “soaring majesty on an album that finds a new way forward by refining their past,” STEREOGUM dubbed the collection as “warm and melodic and comforting,” while REVOLVER said the songs are “sweeping and melancholic” living “between the majesty of vintage BLACK SABBATH and the morbid romanticism of TYPE O NEGATIVE.” DECIBEL, who have featured the band on their cover multiple times, declared the band’s unique musical vision as “intense, emotional thunder.”
PALLBEARER kick off their “TEMPORARY SPACES” North American tour on June 6, with a European trek, joining BARONESS and GRAVEYARD, following later this year. Three additional European festival performances were previously announced: The Copenhell Metal Cruise (Copenhagen to Oslo) from Oct. 25 to 27, Hell’s Ball Belgium (Kortrijk) on Nov. 10, and Helldorado in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) on Nov. 16.
