Foundations Of Burden

by Pallbearer

supported by

caffeinatedmetalhead A presence of sound and heavy guitar tones that's just perfect for a rainy day. They sound just as good live as they do in the recordings. Favorite track: Worlds Apart.

The Midnight Toker. Little Rocks Pallbearer have truly build the Foundations of Burden and it's structure is glorious. One of my favorite bands currently.
No digital copy with my vinyl, fixed now. Favorite track: Watcher In The Dark.

jaimeaux This album doesn't receive enough love from the Pallbearer fanbase, but it's killer. I love it. FIrst Pallbearer album in my library, and it definitely won't be the last. :) Favorite track: Worlds Apart.

about

In the short timespan that they’ve been a band, Little Rock Arkansas’ PALLBEARER have literally defined and set a new standard in the realm of modern-day doom metal. Their 3-song “The Legend” demo which was first released already had made a huge impression in itself amongst the doom metal scene. Said demo would just be a harbinger for what would become the band’s debut full-length LP, 2012’s “Sorrow and Extinction” which made a massive impact not only in the doom metal scene but the entire metal scene in itself along with crossing over even within more mainstream territory. In turn “Sorrow and Extinction” was one of the most praised metal albums of 2012, landing on pretty much every metal best-of year end list and being praised by such notable outlets as Pitchfork, Decibel, SPIN, Rolling Stone, Stereogum, and Entertainment Weekly, just to name a few. The band would do some great tour runs likewise in support of “Sorrow and Exctinction” touring with the likes of St. Vitus, Boris, and Enslaved, and along with playing such notable festivals as Roadburn, Hellfest, MDF, Scion Rockfest, Fun Fun Fun Fest, and Hopscotch Fest respectively.

Now, with their new album “Foundations Of Burden”, PALLBEARER are prepared to take it to the next level unparalleled by creating an album much more advanced, moving, and sonically glorious than their debut. If “Sorrow and Extinction” created massive waves in the metal scene, “Foundations Of Burden” will create the stuff of legends. Captured by legendary producer Billy Anderson (Agalloch, Sleep, Neurosis, The Melvins etc.) at Type Foundry studios in Portland Oregon, “Foundations Of Burden” sees PALLBEARER expand their sound even further and going beyond into an emotionally driven sonic landscape more epic, vast, and ultimately more glorious and triumphant.

This is simply one of my favorite albums of all time. An intense journey, so much genius energy flying off of this album it's hard to process sometimes. 11/10. LordRockinghamm

Reflections is my fav, this is a very close second. Ive always loved Lore for its “grit” and in your face “live” sound compared to later releases. I believe Elder currently stands alone in this kind of music. The title track is an Elder classic! Sam Damon
