Pallbearer’s fundamental debut, their 2010 Demo, will finally be available on vinyl for the first time ever on December 9thcourtesy of 20 Buck Spin. Originally released as a limited CD-R and then as a more fully packaged cassette, the 2010 Demo contained the formative recordings of tracks that would appear in re-recorded form on Pallbearer’s critically acclaimed debut album Sorrow & Extinction. Also on the demo is the band’s version of the haunting 1933 song “Gloomy Sunday“, not appearing anywhere else since.
This past August, Pallbearer dropped their 2nd album, the hugely anticipated and essential Foundations Of Burden on Profound Lore Records. The album is the follow-up to their revered and immortal debut, Sorrow & Extinction. Since the release of these monumental albums, Pallbearer has taken the independent music world by storm but before all that, they began humbly in Arkansas, making their presence first known via their 2010 Demo which immediately caught the attention of the Doom Metal underground.
For a few years, Pallbearer and 20 Buck Spin have discussed pressing this demo onto vinyl, partly at the behest of the many Pallbearer fans who have been eager to obtain a physical copy of the bands pre-LP recording. Now, the stars have aligned and together the band and label got it done. For the first time ever on vinyl, 20 Buck Spin presents Pallbearer’s 2010 Demo, a 1-sided 12” record with an exclusive B-side etching by Mike Lawrence Illustration and artwork made specifically for this release by the bands continuing visual interpreter Animetalphysical. The LP will be available on purple and black vinyl, with the purple being made available exclusively to 20 Buck Spin mail-order and Pallbearer direct. Additionally, there will be a special mail-order only version that includes the album in either color, a turntable slipmat, a Pallbearer logo metal pin, poster and sticker.
