CORPORATE PUNISHMENT RECORDS TO RELEASE SOMETHING THAT DOESN’T COMPLETELY SUCK

Corporate Punishment Records — the LA-based record label specializing in C-level nu-metal bottom feeders, never-wases, and flavor of the moment metalcore — is set to release a record that doesn’t completely suck. On A Pale Horse, a five-piece metal outfit from that bastion of Obama-caucusing and Slipknot-hating-masked-bands, is set to release their new record A Generation of Vipers in March on Corporate Punishment Records; and it doesn’t completely blow.

On A Pale Horse play some amalgam of Black Sabbath, Down and Corrosion of Conformity-inspired groove metal; it ain’t gonna reinvent the wheel, but there’s some pretty decent rockers on their MySpace page, including the incredibly groovy and riff-heavy “Sound the Alarm.” Mic-bearer Aaron Peltz doesn’t always hit the mark, but then again neither does modern day Phil Anselmo. But hey, at least it doesn’t totally blow, and that’s saying something!
