The highly anticipated thrill ride comes guns blazing with a wicked James Bousema cover and ominous audio sample to boast.
On March 21st, Las Vegas' own SpiritWorld will release their third album, Helldorado, via Century Media, complete with the art of James Bousema on the forefront once more for a comprehensive audiovisual experience. The band's collision of sound expands once more on lead single, Abilene Grime — an ominous Western-esque feat that narrates a preacher's descent to hell. With records of the caliber of Pagan Rhythms (2020) and Deathwestern (2022) preceding it, Helldorado has high expectations to meet (and exceed).
Stu Folsom comments on the album:
"This record, more so than the last two, I think you hear way more fearlessness and confidence in the choices. Things that were showing up as interludes have manifested into fully fleshed out pieces. At its heart, Helldorado is a punishing, unrelenting masterclass in crossover and hardcore thrash. But in a scene where every riff has been played before and every great band has thirty contemporary acolytes mining their catalog and doing worship albums, there is something in the strangeness of Helldorado that makes it endearing."
Experience Abilene Grime below and pre-order the album via Century Media.
