Pallbearer
Mind Burns Alive
60--100点相当が出ている
Distorted Sound が満点
ドゥームということで、
かなり好きな音色だが、
この手の物としては
個人的に、ところどころで
Vo がちょっと苦手かも。
バンド全体だと、
Maynard James Keenan のように聞こえるところがあって
そこはいいんだけどなぁ。
でもまぁ、なんか
小奇麗すぎて。

Four years on from the riff-packed Forgotten Days, doom heavyweights PALLBEARER are back with album number five. Mind Burns Alive provides six tracks of emotionally charged, engaging metal, incorporating elements that long term fans of the band would have become accustomed to, while still offering a fresh sound. Plunging the depths of personal emotion and relatable subject matter, matched with superb instrumental performances, PALLBEARER have surely crafted one of the most emotive slices of doom of their career.
Opening the album the band successfully generate a sound that combines delicate space and engaging speaker filling music. The light, clean guitar introduction to lead single Where The Light Fades is given a substantive effects wash that generates a captivating pull. As the song builds and further elements are added, the spacious delivery continues with the reverb and choral effects. The band demonstrate an impressive sense of how to use mixes and augmentation in a way that is not overbearing but serves the music exactly as intended. Interestingly, the opening track contains all of the elements found throughout the album, however, this is certainly not a one and done situation. Firmly establishing lyrical themes as well as musical ones, Mind Burns Alive still contains a bounty of spellbinding doom-laced melancholia and even exultant high points.
