A Pale Horse Named Death To Stream Brooklyn, New York Show LIVE!

A Pale Horse Named Death are kicking of 2012 with a special hometown show in Brooklyn, NY at The Knitting Factory. The show which will take place tomorrow (Friday, January 6th), will also be streaming in full courtesy of APHND, The Knitting Factory and LiveStream.com. The Live Stream of the concert can be accessed at the link below.

In other APHND news, the band has parted ways with guitarist Bobby Hambel, and has announced a replacement. Frontman Sal Abruscato commented about the lineup change.

"Due to conflicting schedules with Biohazard, Bobby Hambel is unable to tour any further with A Pale Horse Named Death. We wish Bobby and Biohazard all the great success they deserve on their upcoming release in January 2012. Eddie Heedles has been chosen as the new replacement for Bobby. Eddie is a shredding guitarist who has worked with the likes of Corey Glover (Living Colour), T.M. Stevens, Vernon Reid (Living Colour), Sekond Skyn and The White Chocolate Experience."



APHND is the brainchild of Brooklyn, NY native Sal Abruscato, and sounds like Alice in Chains mysteriously sneaking up behind Type O Negative with a butcher knife while being filmed for a future episode of "Law & Order".

"And Hell Will Follow Me" is available in three different formats: Digipak CD, 2 LP Set and digital download. The 2 LP Set comes on 180 gram vinyl and also includes a copy of the CD. In addition the 2 LP set features an LP exclusive bonus track: "Pickup Truck". Order the album HERE.

The Horns Up Rocks Top 10 Interviews Of 2011!

During 2011, Horns Up Rocks founder Jo Schüftan had the chance to interview dozens of artists about their various musical endeavors. While most of the interviews were very memorable, here are the 10 that caused the most impact within the Heavy Music scene. Here are the Horns Up Rocks Top 10 Interviews Of 2011!

10) Joey Zampella(Life Of Agony):

Life Of Agony is a proud member of the New York Hardcore community, and along with Type O Negative and Biohazard, they have become synonymous to the New York City underground music scene. On the exact day of our first year anniversary, we had the chance to interview Life Of Agony's guitarist Joey Z at Duff's Brooklyn!



9) Shawn Drover (Megadeth):

Megadeth has also proved that Thrash Metal doesn't stand any sissies and that only the strong survive. Many failed while fighting their own demons, but this legendary band found their way out of the darkness. You can't help admiring the fact that so many years later the band members are still in full vigor and at the pinnacle of their creativity. During these years Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, we had the chance to interview Megadeth's drummer Shawn Drover about the Big 4, their NEW album titled 'TH1RT3EN' and about the impact that festivals like the Mayhem Festival have on the entire Heavy Music scene. Check it out!



8) Richard Christy (Death, The Howard Stern Show & Charred Walls Of The Damned):

During the Charred Walls of the Damned record release party for their second studio album entitled "Cold Winds on Timeless Days", which took place at Idle Hands in New York City. We were able to steal Richard away from his fans to chat about this epic NEW release, as well as his career in radio. We also discussed his relationship with the late great Chuck Shuldiner from the legendary Heavy Metal band Death.



7) Sal Abruscato (Life Of Agony, Type O Negative & A Pale Horse Named Death):

Sal Abruscato is synonymous to what the New York City Heavy Music scene represents: hard uncompromised work, original song writing, and not holding back when creating music. When we first heard A Pale Horse Named Death (his brand new band), our ears couldn't believe this man's vocal abilities. We had the chance to interview Sal at the Official Listening Party at Idle Hands Bar in New York City for the NEW album by A Pale Horse Named Death titled 'And Hell With Follow Me'.



6) Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed, Kingdom Of Sorrow & Jasta) and Shawn "Clown" Crahan (Slipknot):

Jamey Jasta is living proof that if you do everything in your power to accomplish your personal goals, you can live your own dream. This interview took place in Los Angeles, California, at the "Black Carpet" during the 2011 Revolver Golden Gods Awards, joining us in mid interview is none-other then Shawn Crahan # 6 (Clown from Slipknot) who discusses how Jamey Jasta reinvented Hardcore and Heavy Metal.



5) Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath & Heaven and Hell):

Here is an interview with one of the godfathers of Metal: Geezer Butler. This interview was conducted in Los Angeles, California, at the 2011 Revolver Golden Gods Awards. \m/



4) Devin Townsend (Strapping Young Lad & The Devin Townsend Project):

As we all know, Devin Townsend is one of the pioneers of "Progressive Metal", but when we chatted with him he made it clear that he doesn't sit back and enjoy his past success, for Townsend the most important thing is that his music is always evolving in order for him to keep bringing original music to the masses.



3) Vinny Stigma (Agnostic Front & Stigma):

Prior to the 2011 Black N Blue Bowl we had the chance to chat with Vinnie Stigma from the legendary New York Hardcore band Agnostic Front! During this interview, Stigma, who is the ambassador of New York Hardcore, talked to us about what it meant to be co-headlining such a historic event and about the NEW Agnostic Front album 'My Life, My Way'!



2) Phil Demmel and Dave McClain (Machine Head):

During these years Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, we had the chance to catch up with lead guitarist Phil Demmel and drummer Dave McClain, to discuss with them the NEW Machine Head album 'Unto The Locust' and how they keep themselves focused while living on the road. He also discussed the impact that Mario Comesanas (RIP) had in the Heavy Music scene.



1) Vinnie Paul (Pantera, Damageplan & Hellyeah):

This interview took place in Los Angeles, California at the "Black Carpet" during the 3rd installment of the Revolver Golden Gods Awards. During the interview we talked with Vinnie about Pantera's legacy! So grab a black tooth and enjoy it!



We want to thank all the people who made all these interviews possible, and of course all of you for checking them out! In 2012, we're bringing all sorts of surprises your way, so stay tuned! \m/

Sal Abruscato Discusses A Pale Horse Named Death's Success & Announces Brooklyn Show!

Last Friday, December 9th, we had the privilege of catching the hometown debut show of A Pale Horse Named Death. The event took place at The Studio at Webster Hall in New York City and it was an unforgettable night.

The band's stage show was flawless, and they collectively sounded tighter than a virgin. If you haven't checked out A Pale Horse Named Death out, you are punishing your ears.
