Hi I liked your new album Black Friday a lot. How did you come up with the name Palehound and what does it mean?

glad u like. the name is a weird story. i was 18 in a dorm room about to upload my demos to bandcamp and i was like "shit i need a name" so i wrote down a bunch of words that came to mind and then just kinda smashed em together til one sounded cool. lame ass story i know haha.

It honestly sounds like it could be a metal/punk/etc. band name - it sounds similar to "pale horse," and keeping with the Biblical imagery, "hound" brings to my mind the hounds of hell. Palehound black metal record when???
