‘Waiting On The Reaper‘ has been directed by longtime collaborator Todd Hailstone. The new music video brings the nefarious western narrative to life. In the spirit of Sergio Leone and Quentin Tarantino where the footage depicts a cursed preacher’s bloody escape from a old west jail. Eagle eyed fans will be spotting a clip which is to be a prequel to Spiritworld’s recently released ‘Abilene Grime’ video which follows the story of the same preacher’s ultimate descent to hell.
Third album Helldorado sees Las Vegas’ very own cowboys SPIRITWORLD indulge in metallic hardcore blitzes, world- weary country-punk stomps, and even a wistful, finger-picked lament. Folsom explains the diversity of the music:
“This record, more so than the last two, I think you hear way more fearlessness and confidence in the choices… Maybe it is a risk to incorporate things that will be pretty far out there for the casual punk or metalhead, but having the opportunity to make a record comes with a responsibility to me. I dreamed of making records for so long. I only want to do things in life that I am all in on. If that makes me an outcast or even more fringe than your average underground music act then that’s okay. The stench of being genuine is beautiful.”
Guests on the Helldorado album include Sgah’gahsowáh (Black Braid), Zach Blair (Rise Against), and Frederic Leclercq (Kreator).
