Little Rock, Arkansas-based progressive doom metal group Pallbearer have filmed a music video for the track \u2018The Quicksand Of Existing\u2019. Directed by Ben Meredith, the clip can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the song, bassist Joseph Rowland said: \u201cAs we strive to be, the forces of entropy perpetually pull us down into a state of being unmade. The body degrades; the mind and memories fray into unwoven threads, no longer connected to the rich fabric of the self. Choices made upon our separate and conjoined paths may find us engulfed in a mire of our unmaking. I wanted this song to face this reality with a grim determination.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pallbearer issue fourth full-length studio album Forgotten Days<\/em> on October 23rd, 2020 through Nuclear Blast Records.<\/p>\n

Rowland commented: \u201cForgotten Days<\/em> is us exploring what is natural to us. The songs tell me where I need to go when I write. We wanted to focus on songs that were visceral and enjoyable to play live \u2013 that our audiences would enjoy experiencing. We\u2019re also getting back to more of the groovier and heavier elements of Pallbearer. Heartless<\/em> is fairly uptempo and technical. This one is a little more open, it hammers you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis record has a lot of thematic ties to our first record,\u201d Rowland continued. \u201cWhen we were writing Sorrow And Extinction<\/em> (2012), my mother was terminally ill. It\u2019s been 10 years since she passed. It\u2019s taken me all of this time to take a really good look at myself. While we were writing Forgotten Days<\/em>, I knew, \u2018Now is the time to sit down and begin to understand who I have become.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cJoe and I have always written lyrics separately,\u201d added vocalist \/ guitarist Brett Campbell. \u201cBut we always end up with lyrics that are connected by threads. I\u2019m not sure why that is. Maybe it\u2019s because we\u2019ve been in close proximity for a long while. Between Heartless<\/em> and Forgotten Days<\/em>, we were home for an extended period of time. I think we finally had time to reflect. Memory is a big aspect of the new record. The passage of time. How things change as perspective changes. Was the past truly the way that you remember it at all?\u201d<\/p>\n

The track \u2018Rite Of Passage\u2019 can be streamed below.<\/p>\n

Forgotten Days<\/em> was recorded at Sonic Ranch Studios in West Texas with producer Randall Dunn.<\/p>\n

Cover artwork duties fell to Michael Lierly, drummer Mark Lierly\u2019s brother, once again.<\/p>\n
