Even though they have only been around a couple of years, PALLBEARER (hailing from Little Rock Arkansas) have already generated a huge buzz within the doom metal scene in their short existence as a band, and never before has a new band within doom metal gained such hype as PALLBEARER have. All this done with their three-song 2010 demo which in itself made a big impact within the doom metal scene, the demo in which the band pressed a limited 300 unit run on cassette that sold out almost instantly. By encompassing the more traditional metal style of their brand of doom, PALLBEARER_s sound takes cue from such legendary doom metal bands as Candlemass, Trouble, and Warning along with a _70s prog influence likewise that finds its way into the band_s epic yet sorrowful odes. Through powerful melodies, epic and somber passages of gloom, and with the stand out soaring vocals from vocalist Brett Campbell (who sounds like a young Ozzy Osbourne in his prime), PALLBEARER_s debut album shall immediately throw the four-piece right into the doom metal spotlight as one of America_s mightiest exports within the genre.
