“Fear and Fury,” the first taste of new Pallbearer music since our favorite album of 2014, Foundations of Burden, is one of the Little Rock doom quartet’s shortest songs yet, clocking in at just under six minutes. But it’s not wanting for the intense, emotional thunder the band has built their following on. It was recorded specifically for the Flexi Series in late 2014, and just extends Pallbearer’s insane winning streak: both of their full-lengths appeared in the top five of our annual Top 40 list; they’ve earned a standalone and dB Tour cover feature (the latter just around the corner via the April issue); and they scored two slots in our Top 100 Doom Metal Albums of All Time issue. Suffice it to say, this is a must-hear Pick up the actual flexi in the April issue, but listen to this crusher right here!
