A PALE HORSE NAMED DEATH Unveil Album Artwork for Lay My Soul to Waste

A PALE HORSE NAMED DEATH will release their sophomore album Lay My Soul to Waste May 21^st in North America on Steamhammer/SPV. Once again the artwork was commissioned by Sam Shearon, who is also responsible for artwork on the band's first release And Hell Will Follow Me. Today the artwork has been unveiled.

On the surface, A PALE HORSE NAMED DEATHare
impressive. But you'll want to dig deeper and immerse yourself in all
the sonic and lyrical layers, because the band isn't afraid to plume the
depths of darkness that humanity is capable of. It's murky stuff, but
someone has to do it.

Sal Abruscato and Matt Brown have followed 2011's incredible introduction And Hell Will Follow Mewith Lay My Soul to Waste, which keeps the band's patented signature formula of slow, deliberate sludge and head-down doom intact and as flawlessly executed as ever. 

Think
Alice in Chains, only harder, angrier and with a more perverse view of
the world, as if they were reared in a row house in Bensonhurst, as
opposed to the rainy landscape of Seattle, all the while feasting on a
steady diet of Black Sabbath records.

Abruscato
is open about the fantasy that dominates his lyrical point of view. He
admits that all songs "have a line to reality...things that could and do
happen everyday." But like any skilled storyteller, Abruscato likes
pushing buttons. His lyrics are no different than the narratives of the
horror movie playing at your local multiplex. It's largely fiction, with
some nuggets or kernels of truth embedded within.

Musically,
the record matches that pallor and "will hit you in the gut." There are
more harmonies this time out, and the piano is a bit more front and
center, while guitarist Eddie Heedles contributed some leads. But for
the most part, the formula remained largely untouched. "If it's not
broken, don't fix it,'" Abruscato said, matter-of-factly. "We wanted to
display the advancements, musically and artistically, and retain the
core element." 

Mission accomplished!

A PALE HORSE NAMED DEATHarrived with And Hell Will Follow Me. They have firmly implanted their roots in the metal scene with Lay My Soul to Waste. It's a metal album that headbangers who enjoy a walk on the darker side of life will end up revering and responding to.
