PALLBEARER

The Arkansas-quartethave set a solid footprint on modern-day doom metal with their relentless wallsof hazy and massive guitar distortion, and the mournful tenor of Brett Campbell.On their fifth full-length album Minds Burn Alive (2024) they arestripping everything back a notch only to allow for increased emotional weight.

MindBurns Alive offersa perspective into the pain of everyday life, of loneliness, mental breakdown,and the feeling of emotionally drowning in a world turning upside down. Yet, itis not simply an exposition on those complex feelings. It is the musicalintersection where struggle in life collides with the will to carry on.
