Pallbearer to Release Foundations of Burden in August

The second half of this year is pretty stacked with releases, with YOB and Pallbearer and Electric Wizard and more than a handful of others. Looks like Pallbearer have finished their new one, which is titled Foundations of Burden and set to come out on Aug. 19 in North America through Profound Lore. Their 2012 debut, Sorrow and Extinction (review here), was a rare bridge across the gap from doom to a more mainstream audience, and with production by the venerable Billy Anderson, there’s little concern Foundations of Burden will be much of a tonal letup.

Pallbearer hit the road this week alongside Deafheaven and Wreck and Reference, and dates for that run follow the album art and tracklisting below, which come via Profound Lore:

PALLBEARER – Complete Work On New Album

Little Rock, AR doom metal band PALLBEARER have completed work on their follow-up to 2012’s acclaimed “Sorrow and Extinction” LP. Entitled “Foundations Of Burden”, the sophomore release sees the present-day doom metal giants create a more expansive, advanced, crushing, and emotionally charged album that takes everything to the next level beyond its predecessor.

With “Foundations Of Burden”, PALLBEARER have delivered their most engaging work yet. Musically, “Foundations Of Burden” sees the band strengthen their monolithic melodious structures of doom that have become synonymous with their signature sound. All while incorporating a much more progressive and musically challenging scenario to their anthems which compliment the huge epic melodies and harmonics even more. Whereas “Sorrow and Extinction” expanded the foundation which PALLBEARER laid down with their demo, “Foundations Of Burden” morphs itself into a glorious new vision that will see the band rise even more to promising new heights beyond the awareness brought upon them with “Sorrow and Extinction”.

Recorded and mixed by Billy Anderson (Neurosis, Sleep, Agalloch, The Melvins etc.) at Type Foundry Studios in Portland, OR, tracklisting for “Foundations Of Burden” goes as follows:

1. Worlds Apart
2. Foundations
3. Watcher In The Dark
4. The Ghost I Used To Be
5. Ashes
6. Vanished
