Metal's newest 'hype' band is another that is entirely, 100% deserving of every kind word. Their 2010 demo's been in constant rotation for me and I've been eagerly anticipating their debut full length that's out in a few weeks. Well, NPR started streaming it last night and it is truly beyond words. Simply a complete and total masterpiece of doom metal. Listen to it here: http://www.npr.org/2012/02/12/146464875/first-listen-pallbearer-sorrow-and-extinction Download the demo for free from the band here: http://pallbearer.bandcamp.com/ If you like doom at all, you will not regret this.
I fucking love these guys. I saw them at Rites of Darkness and thought they were in the top 5 bands, and I hadn't heard a note of their music beforehand. I'm listening to the NPR stream for the second time today. It's gonna be in my top albums this year, I know it.
And the vocal melodies are quite good, in my opinion. I compare them to Warning or early While Heaven Wept.
