Sal Abruscato of A Pale Horse Named Death: The Popblerd Interview!

by Jesse on Jul 12, 2013 • No Comments

Being the drummer responsible for some of the major doom releases of the mid-’90’s (Type O Negative’s Bloody Kisses, Life Of Agony’s River Runs Red), Sal Abruscato knows a thing or two about what makes those kind of albums work. That said, it’s no surprise that he’s stepped out from behind the kit to spearhead A Pale Horse Named Death whose sophomore album Lay My Soul To Waste was just released through SPV/Steamhammer. Abruscato recently spoke with Popblerd via phone […]

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 […]
