Pale Horseman is a 4 piece metal band from the Chicago area which combines elements of sludge, doom, and death metal. Featuring a dual attack of guitarists/vocalists and a pummeling rhythm section, their live shows have been most often described as “crushing” and their studio recordings have been handled by the mixing boards of some of their biggest influences including Dennis Pleckham of Bongripper, Noah Landis of Neurosis, and Justin Broadrick of Godflesh.

Chicago Death Metal.
Embittered by the burdens of being.
Hands in the dirt, eyes to the skies.

Heavy, atmospheric post-metal. Chicago. DIED DOWN – OUT NOW
