Pallbearer have announced their highly anticipated album, Mind Burns Alive, set for release on May 17 via Nuclear Blast Records. Five years in the making, the album was self-produced by the band in their newly constructed studio, Idlewild Audio, and at Fellowship Hall Sound. The album is promised to be their most raw and heartfelt to date. Today (20th), the group has shared a taste for what’s to come with the release of the Dan Almasy-directed video for their latest single, “Where The Light Fades.” 

Simultaneously, Pallbearer have announce an extensive North American tour, titled the Temporary Spaces North American Tour, kicking off on June 6. Tickets for the six-week trek go on sale this Friday (22nd). Support on the trek will come from Rwake (June 6 to 9; 29), REZN (June 11 to 29), Inter Arma (July 11 to August 3), with The Keening opening on all dates.

 

Vocalist/guitarist Brett Campbell comments:

“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.”

 

For the new song, “Where The Light Fades,” Campbell explains the track is like:

 “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.”

 

Bassist/vocalist Joseph D. Rowland adds:

“It’s ironic given that the album is largely centered around isolation, but it felt like it summoned us into being back together again in one town, after so long apart.”
