Arkansas progressive doom metal quartet Pallbearer have completed work on their third full-length LP “Heartless” to be released on March 24th on CD/2xLP/Digital formats. Keep an eye out for new audio and pre-order info in the coming weeks.
“Heartless” is an inspired collection that presents PALLBEARER’s most monumental material yet, offering a complex sonic architecture that weaves together the spacious exploratory elements of classic prog, the raw anthemics of 90’s alt-rock, and stretches of black-lit proto-metal. Lyrics about mortality, life, and love are set to sharp melodies and pristine three-part harmonies. As the group explains: “Instead of staring into to the void—both above and within—‘Heartless’ concentrates its power on a grim reality. Our lives, our homes and our world are all plumbing the depths of utter darkness, as we seek to find any shred of hope we can."
From the gloriously complex, sky-lit opener “I Saw the End” to the heartbreaking 13-minute closer “A Plea for Understanding,” the entire group puts forth the full realization of their vision: More than a doom band, Pallbearer is a rock group with a singular songwriting talent and emotional capacity. “Heartless” finds the group putting forth their strongest individual efforts to date; vocalist/guitarist Brett Campbell and bassist/vocalist Joseph Rowland, along with guitarist/vocalist Devin Holt and drummer Mark Lierly, turn in peak marathon performances. Both Campbell and Rowland also handle synthesizers alongside their normal duties, and there are plenty of ambient passages and gently strummed acoustic guitars amid the crunchy electric tones, adding a moody, ethereal sparseness that compliment the towering metal that lies at the essence of “Heartless”..."
