Heathen Apostles... The New Gothabilly country.

Brighton factually.....
It's not often a band surprises me with something strange and different, but that is exactly what Heathen Apostles did when I heard the first verse of their debut album "Boot Hill Hymnal". The musicians here are well known to me with vocals by Mather Louth (Radio Noir) and Chopper Franklin(The Cramps) handling the guitar. However the sound that hit my ears was nothing like this groups individual past projects. Some are calling this "Gothic Country" but I feel this is misleading. When one hears the term country, one generally thinks of modern country of the last say 20 years. Heathen Apostles sound is birthed by the music of the far past. Unlike the music of bands like Fields of the Nephilim that blend a southern country or cowboy image into the Gothic sound, Heathen Apostles transports the listeners into another time frame completely. I personally prefer the label of "Dark Roots" music to describe their morbid melodies.
