Eight years since their last tour, doom metal merchants Pallbearer make their triumphant return to Australia in 2025. If that’s not enough to get you up out of your seat, the band are bringing along British sludge giants Conan for what promises to be an epic four-date tour of grinding riffs and blistering melodies.

Pallbearer are touring in support of their 2024 fifth album Mind Burns Alive, a record Kerrang! called “a graceful and immersive record, one which confirms that we’re dealing with one of modern metal’s most challenging and unique propositions.”

For Conan, the tour comes in support of their DIY Series, Issue 1 10", a three-track record that includes a cover of Fudge Tunnel’s ‘Hate Song’.

The tour gets underway on Wednesday, March 12 at Max Watts in Melbourne. This is followed by dates at Adelaide’s Lion Arts Factory on Thursday, March 13 and Sydney’s Crowbar on Friday, March 14, before the whirlwind visit of Pallbearer and Conan comes to an end at the newly opened Crowbar in Brisbane on Saturday, March 15.

Tickets for all four shows are on sale now via United Front Touring.

Coming together in 2008, Little Rock Arkansas doom metal purveyors Pallbearer created a buzz from the get-go, with their debut album Sorrow and Extinction earning critical praise from Pitchfork.

Pallbearer has kept on releasing music regularly and are regarded as one of the world’s premium doom metals acts. The current lineup of Brett Campbell (lead vocals, guitar, synthesizer), Joseph D. Rowland (bass, backing and lead vocals, electric and acoustic piano, synthesizer), Devin Holt (guitar, backing vocals) and Mark Lierly (drums) are excited to make the journey Down Under next year, taking to Instagram with this statement: “In March 2025 we make a long awaited return to Australia - our first tour there in 8 years. Joining us on all dates will be the crushing might of Conan.”

Catch Pallbearer at Lion Arts Factory on Thursday, March 13. Tickets on sale now via Mosttix.
