Hot tip: if you wanna make it to the Olympics, you have to listen to an enormous amount of Doom Metal. How do you think Usain Bolt scored eight Olympic gold medals? By adhering to a regimented, unwavering training plan while listening to Kings of Leon’s Greatest Shits? Nah, dude. He just listened to more Electric Wizard than everyone else. That’s how he did it. That was his secret. And if you want to get the gold in 2028 (you’re too late for 2024), you best start listening to this playlist by the doomiest doom lords in the history of doom: Pallbearer.
Pallbearer are from Little Rock, Arkansas (aka Doomsville, USA), and they began melting skulls with their dread-soaked brand of doom metal in 2008. They’re currently on tour, so we didn’t hold much hope for them making us a playlist for this Olympic issue of POSSESSED, but they came through, and now you can lace up, hit play, and enjoy 25 Pallbearer-approved (and actually not too doomy) tunes.
