Pallbearer‘s fifth studio album has been given the title of “Mind Burns Alive” and a May 17th release date. Nuclear Blast will be releasing this new opus from the Little Rock, AR-based doom metal outfit, with vocalist/guitarist Brett Campbell commenting of it:
“These songs are a deeper exploration of dynamics and sonic color than anything we have done up to this point. I’m of the belief that true heaviness comes from emotional weight, and sometimes sheer bludgeoning isn’t the right approach to getting a feeling across.”
The band had Dan Almasy direct the video for the track “Where The Light Fades“. Meanwhile, Campbell described the album’s six songs as being, “vignettes that tell the stories of people who deal with myriad sicknesses of the spirit… illnesses communicated by the world we live in, and the subjects are the symptoms of the disease.”
“Mind Burns Alive” was self-produced at the group’s own newly constructed Idlewild Audio studio, with additional sessions taking place at Fellowship Hall Sound.
“Mind Burns Alive” track listing:
01 – “Where The Light Fades”
02 – “Mind Burns Alive”
03 – “Signals”
04 – “Endless Place”
05 – “Daybreak”
06 – “With Disease”
