Pallbearer have announced more tour dates in support of their recently-revisited 2014 album Foundations Of Burden, with new runs scheduled for the coming months.
On these dates, the band will perform the landmark record in its entirety, giving fans another opportunity to experience the album front to back in a live setting. The newly revealed shows will also see Knoll rejoining the tour. Get those dates below and get your tickets here.
“It’s no secret that we’re passionate about Foundations of Burden,” wrote Pallbearer. “Revisiting the record last year was invigorating, and presenting it all on stage as the year culminated was such a blast for us. We are so pleased announce many more of these performances in 2026, including a reprise of appearances alongside the funereal chaos apparitions in Knoll.”
Reflecting on the album’s original creation, Pallbearer bassist and vocalist Joseph D. Rowland recalled the chaotic and exhausting circumstances surrounding its recording: “During the writing and preparation for Foundations, everything was ephemeral and we were practically feral.
“We had no real practice space, we barely had a single working computer between the four of us. Our demos of the record consisted of something barely discernible from white noise. Nevertheless, we knew we were working towards building a set of songs we were deeply enthusiastic about.”
Rowland explained that constant file corruption, budget limitations, and exhaustion forced the band to sacrifice nuance in the original mix — something that lingered in their minds for years. “Since the time that we finally committed the original version of Foundations to print, we knew it would be a sonic space we would eventually revisit.
“Its form did not unfold according to the original version as the numerous file corruptions, delays, and exhausted studio budget compounded into a final feverish push to finish the mix. We were relieved to get those massive and difficult mixes turned into finished songs just in time, but not without a nagging thought; we had to sacrifice much of the nuance we had spent so much time crafting.”
He continued: “In the time since then, we have played most of the songs from Foundations more times than we can count, and they remain some of our favorites.
“The songs have grown with us. And while we hold a deep love and attachment to what we created in 2014, we also gained a fuller understanding of how we would want to re-present them if we had a chance. After years of discussion, listening and learning, we found ourselves in the position to fulfill that vision.”
