In the meantime A Pale Horse Named Death is a constant factor in the fields of Goth Metal. The band is the brainchild of Life Of Agony drummer Sal Abruscato. He puts the drums ticks aside for A Pale Horse Named Death and instead picks up the mic and the guitar pick.
Together with his band mates Abruscato is on tour through Europe with a stop at Baroeg. Before the NYC-based Dark Metal band enters the stage Molybaron has the chance to promote their songs. The sound of the French rockers might not fit directly to the melancholic vibe of the main act but brings everybody into ‘working temperature’. A well-deserved applause is what they get in return, handing over the stage to A Pale Horse Named Death after a bit more than 30 minutes.

But now lights out and amplifiers on. A Pale Horse Named Death starts with an ‘oldie’ into their set. ‘To Die in Your Arms’ shows right away that this evening is dedicated to darkness and melancholy. In total fourteen songs reflect all releases of the quintet from Brooklyn and it’s ‘Killer By Nights’ that ends an evening of gloom and melancholy. After 90 minutes everybody stepped into the Rotterdam night, a cold one that gives you the shivers, as the concert did too.
