#538 - Joseph Rowland (Pallbearer)

This week's show features an awesome interview with Joseph Rowland
of the mighty Pallbearer! During our chat, we hear all about the
new album Mind Burns Alive out this Friday, May 17. We also discuss
the band's approach of embracing the “quiet” on many of the songs,
the comfort he feels in creating in music in an isolated space, and
the approach they take on artwork for album covers. Things also
take a turn for the philosophical, as the concept of “fate” comes
up, how these days the truth requires compromise to communicate,
the power of communication through music, longevity of creating art
versus popular content, and the battle with being addicted the our
phones. Petar and Sylvia discuss the passing of Steve Albini, the
lesson he leaves behind with his approach as a engineer for heavy
music, the return of Kittie with their first full length album in
13 years, Serj Tankian’s comments on only wanting to do short tours
for the fans, and Kerry King just needing to be a little less
upfront of his conversation with Tom Araya. Song: Zao “A Last Time
For Everything” Song: Pallbearer “Where The Light Fades” Song:
Pallbearer “Endless Place” Song: Fu Manchu “Hands of The Zodiac”
