HELLDORADO [LP]

Limited blue smoke colored vinyl LP pressing. Includes booklet. With Helldorado, the third installment of Spiritworlds death-western trifecta, chief hombre Stu Folsom and his rhinestone-encrusted, Stetson-wearin wrecking crew take you deeper into a world where the hot desert sun beats down on a singular vision of the American West as a gateway to hell. Its a different album than the past two, says Folsom of the thematic and sonic journey that began with the Las Vegas bands 2020 Pagan Rhythms LP and continued with 2022s Deathwestern. From the honky-tonk swing of opener Abilene Grime to the Slayer-worthy riffing of No Vacancy in Heaven and the unforgettable Oblivion (which features members of Black Braid and Rise Against), Spiritworlds story rides on with this latest offering, blasting Mojave-born bloodlust and stomping tomahawk riffs while charging straight into a sonic vision of macabre Americana.
