Pallbearer

Pallbearer is an American doom metal band formed in 2008 in Little Rock, Arkansas. Since their emergence on the metal scene, Pallbearer has become known for their distinctive blend of melodic sensibility and crushing heaviness, often characterized by slow tempos, thick guitar riffs, and emotionally resonant vocals. The band's lineup consists of Brett Campbell (vocals, guitar), Devin Holt (guitar), Joseph D. Rowland (bass), and Mark Lierly (drums), a cohesive unit that has solidified Pallbearer's sound and presence in the metal community.

The Arkansas quartet made a significant impact with their debut full-length album "Sorrow and Extinction" in 2012, which was celebrated for its profound depth and intricate songwriting, earning accolades from critics and fans alike, and was followed by the critically acclaimed "Foundations of Burden" in 2014. Pallbearer continued to expand their influence with subsequent releases, including "Heartless" in 2017 and "Forgotten Days" in 2020. The band's sound has evolved with each album, moving from their doom-laden roots to incorporate elements of progressive rock and psychedelia while maintaining the emotional heft that initially garnered their dedicated following. Through releases like the "Fear & Fury EP" and standalone singles such as "I Saw the End" and "Thorns," Pallbearer has maintained a consistent output that underscores their reputation as torchbearers of modern doom metal.
