Pallbearer - 'Where The Light Fades' (official music video)

We are frozen here
Picking at wounds we will not let heal
Cannot face mistakes
Too many fears of what might be real
Something else to blame
Another day, still playing the clown
Cannot take the pain

Another day drawn a little further down
Ever in the shade
There is comfort here
It’s been so long
Rather hide away

Than face the day
When things could change
Maybe we could fly
But we never learned
To grow our wings
Maybe heaven’s waiting
But we will never know
From so far down
In the temple of twilight
The quiet home
Of temporary spaces
Where the light fades

And a stillness overtakes

I can hear a void calling me
From somewhere deep down below

Feel my head going under

Going under

Δισκογραφική επιστροφή μετά από μία τετραετία για τους Pallbearer. Ο διάδοχος του album "Forgotten Days" (Οκτώβριος 2017) και πέμπτος συνολικά full length δίσκος των Αμερικανών doomsters τιτλοφορείται "Mind Burns Alive" και αναμένεται στα μέσα του τελευταίου ανοιξιάτικου μήνα...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Mind Burns Alive finds Pallbearer navigating the space between disquiet and serenity with a singular intensity.

At times poetic and blistering, their fifth full length is a heartfelt meditation on isolation, trauma and mental breakdown, framed by the possibility of redemption and the quiet, aching beauty of escape.

Musically and lyrically stripped bare and vulnerable, Mind Burns Alive deals in universal themes of loneliness and the feeling of emotionally drowning in a world turning upside down.

Bassist / vocalist Joseph D. Rowland describes the album as “an exploration of fate; when you are deceived by your own instincts and internal voice.”

Guitarist / vocalist Brett Campbell furthers, “These songs are vignettes which tell the stories of people who deal with myriad sicknesses of the spirit. These are illnesses communicated by the world we live in, and the subjects are the symptoms of its disease.”

While the band's earlier catalog leaned on walls of guitar, massive distortion and piercing vocals, they achieve more on Mind Burns Alive by stripping everything back.

These six songs offer a singular perspective into the pain that lies at the heart of everyday experience. Mind Burns Alive is not simply an exposition on those complex feelings. It is the musical intersection where struggle collides with the will to carry on.»
