From Las Vegas, Nevada, SPIRITWORLD presents new single WESTERN STARS & THE APOCALYPSE. A thrashing, 2-minute blitz of metallic hardcore, drenched in SPIRITWORLD‘s signature Old West occultism, WESTERN STARS & THE APOCALYPSE is the band’s first new music to be revealed since the release of its acclaimed sophomore album, Deathwestern, in 2022.
“I wrote WESTERN STARS & THE APOCALYPSE right after Deathwestern came out, when we got home from touring Europe with Agnostic Front,” states SpiritWorld 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.”
