Pallbearer have shared an official video for “Watcher In The Dark” from the “2025 Redux” edition of their 2014 album “Foundations Of Burden.” That effort will receive a digital release on November 7 and a physical release on December 5. The sonically reconstructed record was mixed by Mario Quintero (Spotlights) and mastered by Adam Gonsalves.

The group commented:

“While ‘Foundations of Burden‘ has always been dear to us, and in many ways helped define our “sound” as a band, its recording and mixing sessions were ‘troubled.’ Though we stand by the legacy of what was created back in 2014, we had always hoped to revisit it and unveil more of the performances from the four of us that had been sonically obscured as we tried our hardest to make the best of what we had given the adverse circumstances.

This new version doesn’t replace the original — it offers a different way to experience an album we remain extremely proud of, and the overwhelming majority of what you will hear on this reissue is from the original performances at the now-defunct Type Foundry studio in Portland, OR. In order to achieve our sonic goals in 2025, Devin and Brett each painstakingly re-tracked a single foundational layer of rhythm guitars, captured via our own treasured collection of tube amplifiers, microphones, and outboard gear. The end result is a recasting of the record that we believe sounds heavier, clearer and more expansive than ever before.”
