A Pale Horse Named Death, Lay My Soul To Waste: Album Review

A Pale Horse Named Death, Lay My Soul To Waste: Album Review

A Pale Horse Named Death is near and dear to me in the Pop!Blerd world. Nevermind that the band features both of Type O Negative’s former skin bashers, APHND’s debut And Hell Will Follow Me was one of my my first “Metal Monday” volumes, one of the first bands I even mentioned in my absolute first column for the site and the first to get shared online by someone other than me and the P!B staff. But enough about me, […]

As I officially kick off my 2013 concert going year with Quicksand tonight, it’s time to investigate what is sure to be a killer year of heavy releases. Also, if you’ve been following Metal Monday since its’ inception or just happened upon us recently, thanks for reading as we hit two years on Popblerd with today’s post. Here’s to many more! 1. Killswitch Engage: Disarm The Descent (April 2nd) The reunion of Jesse Leach and Adam D on 2011’s masterpiece […]

Metal Monday Volume 71 (5.21.12)

Maybe a better name for Kill Devil Hill would be “The Comeback Kids”? You have legendary drummer Vinny Appice who had to deal with the dissolution of Heaven & Hell and the death of longtime bandmate Ronnie James Dio in one corner and in the other you have Rex Brown, former bassist for Pantera and Down who has had some hard times recently. Then there’s guitarist Mark Zavon who has spent some time as a member of both Stephen Pearcy’s […]

bLISTerd: The 100 Best Albums Of The ’00s (100-91)

We’re in 2012. Is it too early for ‘00s nostalgia? Oh, the first decade of the new millennium. The decade we were introduced to the iPod, the smart phone, texting and all sorts of technological advances that have made us incredibly lazy beings. We decided to start voting for our pop stars on TV, Janet Jackson torpedoed her career by showing us a nipple, and Mariah Carey went crazy and then made a comeback (but she’s still crazy). Oh, and […]

Metal Monday Volume 4 (2.7.11)

There are 2 albums that greatly defined age 16 for me and my first experiences with not one, but two deaths in the family.  They are Type O Negative’s Bloody Kisses and Life of Agony’s River Runs Red. I guess if you have to deal with sudden tragedy then there’s no better soundtrack than from those two Brooklyn bands.  Coincidentally enough, both albums feature the talents of drummer Sal Abruscato who is back with A Pale Horse Named Death. Combining […]
