Up and coming doom n’ gloom sensations Pallbearer have dropped their massive new album Foundations of Burden exclusively over at Pitchfork. The catchy leads over huge doom riffs continues over from the Portland outfit’s celebrated debut Sorrow and Extinction, but the band plays a bit more with tempo this time around. That’s not to say that Foundations of Burden is super upbeat, but things are looking up!
You’ll be hard pressed to find such a fun doom album this year. Hooks abound through all the downtrodden metal, which is why Pallbearer have come so far so fast. Go hear what all the fuss is about and pick up Foundations of Burden when it drops August 19th through Profound Lore Records. Pre-orders are now available at this location.
