“Pallbearer have fashioned a graceful and immersive record, one which confirms that we’re dealing with one of modern metal’s most challenging and unique propositions.” – Kerrang!

“»Mind Burns Alive« might be Pallbearer’s opus, as it’s an encapsulation of all the exceptional elements from each of their previous records, but delivered with dynamics and ease not heard from the band yet.” – Forbes

“… an exercise in contrasting light and dark.” – Revolver

“It is possibly their best, most cohesive and competent song composure to date… their most competently conceived album of their whole discography.” – Metal Injection

“…classic Pallbearer…” – Stereogum

“This album is for everyone who has ever felt overcome by life’s negative turns, for those who have watched people you care about degrade into the shadows of themselves, for those who search for something to believe in, and come up wanting,” vocalist/guitarist Brett Campbell shares. “This world is hard; it will eat you up, and we must lift each other up in order to make it through.”

»Mind Burns Alive« is available digitally, and on a variety of physical formats, including limited-edition vinyl, and CD, as well as a companion merch collection: pallbearer.bfan.link/mind-burns-alive.ema.
