LIFE OF AGONY's ABRUSCATO Taps TYPE O NEGATIVE, BIOHAZARD, DANZIG Members For New Project

January 12, 2011

Brooklyn, New York native Sal Abruscato — who played drums on three TYPE O NEGATIVE albums ("Slow, Deep & Hard", "Origin Of The Feces", "Bloody Kisses"),as well as four LIFE OF AGONY releases ("River Runs Red", "Ugly", "River Runs Again", "Broken Valley") — is now the singer, songwriter and guitarist for A PALE HORSE NAMED DEATH.

Abruscato has recruited Johnny Kelly from TYPE O NEGATIVE, Bobby Hambel from BIOHAZARD and Steve Zing from DANZIG to round out A PALE HORSE NAMED DEATH's touring lineup, which will make its live debut on February 20 at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, New Jersey as the support act for MONSTER MAGNET and SEVENTH VOID.

Although Johnny, Steve and Bobby are not confirmed as official A PALE HORSE NAMED DEATH members, it is suspected this could be the solid lineup moving forward.

A PALE HORSE NAMED DEATH lineup for Sayreville show:

* Sal Abruscato (LIFE OF AGONY, TYPE O NEGATIVE) - Vocals, Guitar
* Matt Brown (SEVENTH VOID) - Guitar
* Bobby Hambel (BIOHAZARD) - Guitar
* Johnny Kelly (TYPE O NEGATIVE, SEVENTH VOID) - Drums
* Steve Zing (DANZIG) - Bass

Abruscato previously stated about A PALE HORSE NAMED DEATH's debut CD, "This is my first album where I composed and play all instruments, including vocals. Along with co-producer/guitarist Matt Brown (SEVENTH VOID),we have accomplished a very fresh sound and it includes guest appearances by Bobby Hambel (BIOHAZARD),Keith Caputo (LIFE OF AGONY) and Ulrich Krieger (LOU REED).

"It is the darkest music I have ever written and recorded in my life, back to my sinister roots and I believe the fans will learn a completely different side of me."
