Last year Arkansas’ metal rockers Pallbearer released a remixed version of their album “Foundations of Burden”.

Next month the band is hitting the road for a tour to hep promote the album and will be performing the full album during the tour. The band has recently added more dates to the tour.  Knoll will be joining Pallbearer on select dates during the tour.

The band spoke on the album and upcoming tour saying, “it’s no secret that we’re passionate about ‘Foundations of Burden’. Revisiting the record last year was so invigorating for us, and presenting it live in its entirety on stage has been a blast.” 

They added, “we hold it as a special landmark in our history. We are so pleased to announce more of these performances in 2026, including a reprise of appearances alongside the funereal chaos apparitions in Knoll who joined us last December.”

Pallbearer bassist and vocalist Joseph D. Rowland spoke on “Foundations of Burden” saying, “during the writing and preparation for ‘Foundations,’ everything was ephemeral and we were practically feral. We had no real practice space, we barely had a single working computer between the four of us. Our demos of the record consisted of something barely discernible from white noise. Nevertheless, we knew we were working towards building a set of songs we were deeply enthusiastic about. Once in the thick of recording, the feeling went from dream to dreamlike very quickly, as we found ourselves in what felt like an endless churn of repetition. We slept at the studio on whatever soft surfaces we could find, waking each day to discover that some of the previous day’s work had been corrupted overnight. This resulted in some parts of the album being recorded many times over. The guitars in particular mutated into something Sisyphean.

He continued, “since the time that we finally committed the original version of ‘Foundations’ to print, we knew it would be a sonic space we would eventually revisit. Its form did not unfold according to the original version as the numerous file corruptions, delays, and exhausted studio budget compounded into a final feverish push to finish the mix. We were relieved to get those massive and difficult mixes turned into finished songs just in time, but not without a nagging thought; we had to sacrifice much of the nuance we had spent so much time crafting.”
