10 Questions With Sal Abruscato (A Pale Horse Named Death)
I recently had an amazing oppertunity to send some questions to Sal Abruscato, singer of A Pale Horse Named Death, for my first ever interview. I would first off like to thank him for taking the time to answer my questions. Anyone reading this should check this great band out & buy their debut album "And Hell Will Follow Me" :
Q: A Pale Horse Named Death recently got off a successful tour in Europe, how did that go for the band, and how is touring there different than doing a show in the United States or somewhere else?
S- At the moment the band seems to be a little bigger in Europe and affords us to Tour there easily. European crowd still believes in supporting good music and buying records not mp3's.
Q: Are there any plans for a tour in the United States now that the Hell Across Europe tour is done?
S- Trying to work on one, problem is affording to do it the right way. We have gotten offers but financially [it's] difficult in paying all the expenses. We are dying to tour in America and Canada and I hope it happens soon.
Q: Are there any bands in particular that you could possibly see the band tour with or would like to tour with?
S- Alice In Chains would be cool along with Marilyn Manson would be cool and of course Black Sabbath.
Q: There was word online that roughly 9 new APHND songs had been written, are there any plans to have the band enter the studio for a new record in the near future?
S- Yes we will begin at some point this year and have it done by end of the year.
Q: This April will be the 2 year anniversary of the late great Peter Steele’s passing, and several fans online have wondered if a memorial show would happen. Are there any plans for such a show?
S- Not that I know of but it would be nice to do something.
Q: What are your thoughts on today’s music scene? There aren’t many bands that sound like you guys here in the U.S. so you seem to stand out somewhat.
S- My thoughts are I don't listen to any of it and I don't like it. I just do what I like and am glad it stands out a bit.
Q: How would you say you have changed or evolved as a musician or song writer throughout the years?
S- Just have gotten better and much more mature with my song writing. I am always trying to do better and improve my ear for melody.
Q: Would you say the guys in the band close like brothers where they hangout even when there is nothing going on in the band, or would you say it’s more of a friendship inside the band?
S- We all enjoy hanging out and rehearse every week just to see each other and keep the flow between us. We all get along very well. But we do live far away from each other so just hanging out is difficult at times.
Q: What bands or performers would you say are some influences of the band and of yourself as a musician?
S- John Lennon, Peter Steele, Trent Reznor and Black Sabbath are big influences on me as a writer.
Q: Where do you see the band at in roughly 4 or 5 years?
S- Hopefully on top of our game and doing very, well thank you
*Side note: anyone looking for a new up & coming band should look up Atoxia

Godsmack Covers EP update
Late news, but Godsmack's Sully Erna tweeted:
"Been in the studio last 3 weeks. Today is last day of mixing the covers EP we’re working on for you. I think you’re gonna love this!”
as well as:
"I want to suggest to management when they’re all ready to hear we throw them up on line and let all of you decide which one is best 4 radio.”
The EP will be covers of songs that have inspired the band over the years. Godsmack will also be releasing a Live Album some time in the future, as well as touring with Staind and Halestorm for the Mass Chaos tour, starting in April.

Life of Agony Is Finished
In an interview with Blabbermouth.net, Sal Abruscato (from Type O Negative, A Pale Horse Named Death, & Life of Agony) stated:
"We're not gonna play [anymore]. We moved out of our studio. We all kind of feel like we're at the end. We're never gonna make another record, because of those kinds of problems I was talking about [earlier in the interview] — we can't agree on writing a song. And Keith wants to pursue his life and his lifestyle. And that's pretty much the reason why also I've moved on and I'm doing my own thing… to just keep going; I didn't want my career to stop with LIFE OF AGONY. LIFE OF AGONY doesn't tour, LIFE OF AGONY doesn't do much. And so we were at a point where it was like… We did the last three shows in July [2011] and then we moved out of our studio, and that's it. I don't foresee anything in the future"

Carolina Rebellion 2012
Well now, it's been quite some time since I was last on here (about 4 months) Nothing much has changed since I last posted. BUT the 2nd annual Carolina Rebellion has been announced with the line up being revealed this Friday (Feb. 10th). I personally am very excited about it, last year was amazing with bands like Godsmack, Avenged Sevenfold, Alter Bridge, etc. But I really wonder HOW they are going to beat last years show. Some major concers after last year were: the LONG lines (for restrooms, food, etc.) and they had some old crappy faucet thing where you could get free water. Fix those things and you will have many happy campers. But still how do they plan to beat last years line up? Personally here are several bands I would love to see play, or expect to see:
Godsmack (I feel like they didnt have much time last year. They usually kick ass)
Deftones
Rob Zombie
Metallica
Burn Halo
Machine Head
Smile Empty Soul
A Pale Horse Named Death
Seventh Void
Offspring
Mudvayne
Our Lady Peace
Drowning Pool
Creed (I almost expect them since they have been making a new album)
All That Remains
Shinedown (expect it with the new CD coming out)
Sevendust
Papa Roach (again, kinda expect it)
Puddle of Mudd
Slipknot
Anyone reading want to comment on who they would enjoy seeing?
