EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE: A PALE HORSE NAMED DEATH, “SERIAL KILLER”

 Wednesday, May 11th, 2011 at 1:00pm by

And Hell Will Follow Me is a sad, sad, sad album. One can only speculate on the source of the album’s lyrical themes of death, despair, drug use and depression given A Pale Horse Named Death mastermind Sal Abruscato’s (also of Life of Agony) affiliation with Type O Negative… but again, one can only speculate. The music is certainly reminiscent of Type O — dark and moody — although it’s decidedly less gothy and more rocky. In more ways than one I’d liken it to Type O meets Alice in Chains; the music has that same sort of depressing, yet churning AIC plod, and Abruscato’s voice certainly calls Staley’s to mind at times.

Sal’s partner in crime on And Hell Will Follow Me is Matt Brown, sound engineer extraordinaire and guitarist of fellow NY band Seventh Void. Matt knocked it out of the park here; this album sounds excellent. Type O drummer / Seventh Void bandmate Johnny Kelly plays drums.

Listen to album track “Serial Killer” below; it’s about as upbeat and rocky a track as this album has to offer. Stream “Heroin Train” over at SkullsNBones for another taste of the album.

    ehh…. Sounds to much like Dope, therefor it sucks

  • Igottawocket

    Um… a Horse Called Gologotha anyone?

    • Benito

      Baroness = much better track.

      this sounds like some new Rob Zombie bull-ishhhh

      • El Peras

        Man, then you haven’t listened to the whole track, give a listen to the album, pretty good.

  • jadedkid

    bleh sounds like a bad video game sound track. Touring state fairs here they come.

  • cocksucker

    sucks, also didnt this come out like a year ago already?

  • Mike87

    I have the promo and I’ll be writing a review within the next week. This song isn’t really representative of the rest of the album. It’s mostly slow and sorrowful, like AIC meets Type O minus the tongue-in-cheek aspect. It really is a good album and from me it will probably be an 8/10.

  • Anne

    I was expecting more TON-ish…it does sound like Zombie but Zombie is VERY distinct. This sounds like everything else….meh, I’m kinda disapointed. I WILL check out the rest of the album though for sure.

  • thatsmybusiness

    This song makes me feel like I’m watching a teenager’s homemade xgames compilation video on youtube.

    Boring as hell, fell asleep in the middle.

  • nonameisfinetoo

    You can tell by their band’s name that they are retards. They misused the book of revelations (6:8: And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. – see it’s the RIDER that is named death) Let’s hear that shit…

    …yep, this is bad.

    • listenharder

       WOW – If you knew anything about the term ‘Play On Words’ you’d understand that the concept itself is a stab at the idea of Death itself being SO powerful he IS the fucking horse riding right over you – a pale horse named DEATH… you’re done for as he’s riding right over you – there is no rider!!! And as if that’s not horrific enough, hell follows him!!! ULTIMATE LOW = awesome concept – perhaps too deep for those who listen to the charts and prefer to listen to hip-hop-hits….

  • Darth Brooks

    Based on that song, im not letting this record near me.

  • Chainsaw Majini

    this song sucks

  • M’ike

    I gave it as much time as I could, but just past halfway I concluded that it blew.

    There’s no humanity in this. Sounds like a machine made it, or they locked it to the grid and Pro Tooled the hell out of it.

  • Max

    This came out about a year ago I think, so this must be an official release from a record label. I think the CD I have is a limited release without a record label.

    If you want to hear what is by far the best song on the album, listen to “Die Alone.” It’s simplistic, but very melancholic and far less upbeat than this song.

  • Memememe

    I looked at the album art and got the distinct impression the horse was smiling and playing in the water. Amiright?

    Awesome album, can wait to see it performed live. The more I listen the better it gets :)

    the soung scream

  • Jack andrews

    Gotta say…

    This band are one of the most promising things to come out of Brooklyn in years.
    At first you’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s a spin off… but this band is made of all the best of the best from the original gloom bands of Brooklyn New York… it’s like a super[villain]group…!

    Type O, LOA, Biohazard, Seventh Void members… all in one band….
    Are you kidding me??? – this is fuccckin’ awesome!!!

    ‘Bout time… and for a first album – hands down – worth the effort!!!

    Great whole album – check it out if you have your doubts, you’ll end up kickin’ yourself in a few months if ya don’t – !

    STAY NEGATIVE!!!

  • Nicky

    This SUCKS.
    And I am a huge fan of TYPE O too.
    FYI – Pete wrote all of the music and lyrics for TYPE O.

  • Brine

    I was starting to wonder if I was t he only one who had this for a couple months….
