Never before has a band generated such a huge buzz on the strength of a single demo release. With only a three-song self-released cassette to their name, Little Rock, Arkansas’s Pallbearer have risen through the ranks of the doom metal scene with unprecedented speed. The group’s sound recalls classic traditional heavy metal, taking cues not only from legendary doom bands like Candlemass, Trouble and Warning, but also from ’70s prog and hard rock. 
Sorrow and Extinction is Pallbearer’s much-anticipated proper debut album and it surpasses all expectations. Powerful melodies counterbalance epic, somber passages of gloom, and the soaring vocals from frontman Brett Campbell sound eerily like a young Ozzy Osbourne in his prime. Undoubtedly, Sorrow and Extinction will throw the young four-piece right into the spotlight as one of America’s mightiest doom metal acts.

• Debut full-length from Little Rock, Arkansas, band is one of the most anticipated doom metal albums of 2012
• Follows 2010’s well-received demo release
• The best traditional doom metal album since Warning’s Watching from a Distance
• Drummer Chuck Schaaf was previously in Rwake (Relapse Records)
