Watch A PALE HORSE NAMED DEATH’s January 6th NYC Show on Hellbound.ca
Early this morning I got an email from Sal Abruscato, frontman of A Pale Horse Named Death (as well as the drummer for Life Of Agony and the original timekeeper from Type O Negative) offering a full stream of their show yesterday, January 6th, at the Knitting Factory in New York City. So, without further adieu, here is said show for your viewing pleasure.
Enter The Witchfinder General
Sometimes I wonder how I found myself here and where the hell I’m going to find myself when I come out the other side….

And here I thought we had more discriminating tastes at Hellbound… At least Lulu was nowhere to be seen!

Hammers Of Misfortune / Christian Mistress @ Bitmore Cabaret, Vancouver BC, Decmeber 8, 2011
While I expected Hammers to be tight, I was pleasantly surprised to discover exactly how spot-on the intricacies of their songs translated live. Hammers of Misfortune, of course, had the perfect balance of both precision and emotion, the songs given a new vitality, positively glowing in the live setting.
