"Armageddon Honkytonk & Saloon," debuted today -- check out the song after the bump. The single comes from SpiritWorld's upcoming
SpiritWorld is a one-man project from Las Vegas-based Stu Folsom and delivers heavy hardcore and metal brutality with country-western themes.
"I grew up in a household full of country. My grandmother came out to Nevada from Texas after the Great Depression when there was nothing here and raised a family off the land. My grandfather was a rodeo cowboy and ranch hand. I grew up on honky tonk music and rodeo with five brothers. My brothers got into hardcore punk and metal in the late '80s and early '90s so there was a mix of George Jones, Slayer and 7 Seconds constantly blasting in the family car and I fell in love with all of it... I am making the records that I long to hear and I know they will land somehow in the arms of loners, outcasts and working-class folks like me who need them," Folsom says of the project.
"This song is everything I love about hardcore and metal churned up in a blender with a country-western murder ballad."
