SPIRITWORLD have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Western Stars & The Apocalypse, is the brand new single from the Las Vegas-based metallic hardcore band and marks their first new music since their latest studio album, DeathWestern, which was released back in November 2022, via Century Media Records.
The new single was engineered and mixed by longtime SPIRITWORLD producer Sam Pura and mastered by Alberto de Icaza [KING CRIMSON, CLUTCH].
“I wrote Western Stars & The Apocalypse right after Deathwestern came out, when we got home from touring Europe with AGNOSTIC FRONT,” states band founder/frontman Stu Folsom. The New York hardcore influence is evident in the blistering song, but Folsom also gives credit to a more unlikely muse. “I was revisiting a lot of BOB DYLAN in my bunk on that tour and there is a nod to his song Desolation Row in the lyrics.”
Directed by ROB ZOMBIE collaborator Balázs Gróf, the official Western Stars & The Apocalypse music video is an animated clip that playfully brings to life SPIRITWORLD‘s strange universe, a place where the supernatural horror of H.P. Lovecraft and the Western pulp of Louis L’Amour collide. Gróf‘s whimsically hellish cartoon features various cosmic beasts, rivers of blood, and Stu Folsom‘s animated alter ego twerking on a grave. Folsom enthuses, “I really love Gróf‘s work and I just turned him loose with the song. It’s a weird, spooky, animated trip through the underworld!”
