Pallbearer has recently shared their intensely somber new track “Where The Light Fades” from the anticipated album Mind Burns Alive, set for release on May 17. Accompanying the single is a compelling video directed by Dan Almasy, which enhances the track’s brooding atmosphere.
Brett Campbell, the lead vocalist and guitarist for Pallbearer, elucidates the thematic core of Mind Burns Alive, portraying it as a series of narratives that delve into the profound afflictions of the human spirit. These narratives are reflections of the existential maladies perpetuated by our contemporary reality, with the characters embodying the manifestations of these widespread conditions.
Campbell elaborates on the album’s musical depth, emphasizing a nuanced exploration of dynamics and auditory textures. He advocates a philosophy where the essence of heaviness is rooted in emotional resonance, suggesting that the conveyance of profound sentiments often transcends mere sonic force.
Mind Burns Alive was self-crafted within the walls of Pallbearer’s new studio, Idlewild Audio, and Fellowship Hall Sound. Bassist and vocalist Joseph D. Rowland reflects on the album’s thematic irony, juxtaposing its focus on solitude with the collaborative essence that its creation fostered, reuniting the band members after a period of separation.
The album, Mind Burns Alive, is currently available for advance orders. Furthermore, Pallbearer is poised to embark on an extensive tour, showcasing an impressive lineup including The Keening, Rwake, REZN, and Inter Arma, promising a series of performances that are anticipated to resonate deeply with audiences.
