“…will stand up to the test of time when this band takes over the planet.”- Decibel
“one of the greatest metal acts this decade and maybe of all time” - Pop Matters
"…their most accomplished work, their most interesting work, and their most complicated work; it’s also their most intricate, innovative, and impressive...“ - Stereogum
"...Heartless is the sort of genre-defining, zeitgeist-capturing doom metal 2017 needs." - Nashville Scene
On the heels of their recently released magnum opus Heartless and fresh off of a U.S. headline tour in support of it, genre-defying giants Pallbearer have announced an extensive North American run commencing in late July (supporting Gojira) and continuing as a headline tour from August through September.Check out the full routing below - these shows are not to be missed.
Released earlier this year on Profound Lore in North America (and Nuclear Blast in Europe), Heartless is a 7-song album grander in scope than anything Pallbearer have released prior, showcasing a natural progression that melds higher technicality and more ambitious structures. Heartless was recorded straight-to-tape with Joe Barresi (Queens of the Stone Age, Tool, Melvins, Soundgarden) manning the board, making for the band’s most pummeling, ambitious, and virtuosic work to date.
Check out Pallbearer on the road and don’t miss your chance to see a band who has “an ability to push metal into satellite genres” (BrooklynVegan):
