A Pale Horse Named Death vocalist/guitarist Sal Abruscato (ex-Life Of Agony, Type O Negative) has posted the following message via his official Facebook page:

"Well after avoiding it for 2 years I have been scheduled for Bone Marrow Biopsy Jan 31, 2019. Time to know what’s going on after being screened every 3 months for 2 years. Numbers are elevating every time, a sense of finality to know what the hell is going on with me and then take it from there. Yes I am nervous and concerned for the results. Hope it works out because I need to stick around for my wife and children."

A Pale Horse Named Death will release their third studio album, When The World Becomes Undone, on January 18th via Long Branch Records; an imprint of SPV. The new single, "Vultures", can be heard below.

Sal Abruscato about "Vultures": "'Vultures' is about being used until you have nothing left to give, friends and family coming around only when they need you or when you have something they want and of course waiting for your demise."

Beauty often blossoms at the root of darkness. A Pale Horse Named Death siphon strangely blissful melodies from apocalyptic heavy metal awash in swells of cavernous gothic keys and grunge song-craft. The band continue to excavate vulnerability from venom on their anxiously awaited third full-length album, When The World Becomes Undone. A delicate dichotomy drives the avowed and acclaimed "Brooklyn Lords of Doom."

"It's our signature combination of seemingly depressing and dark musical tones with unexpectedly pretty melodies," affirms Sal Abruscato. "There's a hypnotic phenomenon that happens when you take super heavy riffs and add a harmonic sensibility. It allows you to drift off and zone out."

The new album was mastered by Maor Appelbaum (Faith No More, Meat Loaf, Yes, Sepultura, Halford) at Maor Appelbaum Mastering while the artwork was once again created by Sam Shearon (Rob Zombie, Fear Factory, Cradle Of Filth).
