User Album Review
After six years, the “Brooklyn Lords of Doom” return for their third LP, When The World Becomes Undone. A Pale Horse Named Death’s use of catchy rock elements inside moody atmospheres makes for their most compelling record to date. Boasting former members of Type O Negative, A Pale Horse Named Death offer listeners a satisfying record full of gothic-doom.
The band does a superb job in establishing atmosphere from the start; in the title track, the guitars exude thick melancholy in each strum, the drums clashing at the right moment to catch the song’s emotional inflection. Injecting melody into their material feeds into both the doom and rock flavor of the album, as well. Lyrically, the disc contains a plethora of intimate ideas and stories; in “Love the Ones You Hate”, you can feel sadness in the words: “Love the ones you love to hate/ Dancing devils in your parade.”
From misty distortion to emotional strings of melancholy, When the World Becomes Undone is a strong addition to the band’s discography. Despite a few missteps in its midsection, the album provides a solid collection of catchy instrumentation and atmosphere.
