Wayfarer is the pre-eminent Western American Metal band. Comprised of four black clad players from Denver, Colorado, the band’s sound draws from the deep wells of black metal, gothic country, and Americana – creating a thunderous and uniquely American genre of metal all to their own.
Today, the band announces their new studio album “American Gothic” – a defining statement of Western heavy music that explores the dark soul of the nation itself.
This time working alongside accomplished producer Arthur Rizk (Eternal Champion, Kreator), the band brings an aggressive and expansive vision to life in a new full-length album that is set to be released on October 27th, 2023!
Today, the band proudly shares their first single and video for “False Constellation”. Watch the video below.
Led by powerful riffing, bleak melodic sensibilities, and pointed songwriting, this record serves as a funeral for the American dream. Caked in dust, and buried deep in blood and gunpowder, it paints a brutal and beautiful portrait, and sees Wayfarer elevate their unique and genuine brand of metal to new heights.
“What we have now is a world full of oil drillers, and railroad barons. Cattle thieves and company men. This is the new ‘American Gothic’”.
“American Gothic” is available in the following formats:
• Worn-Steel Silver Vinyl w/ Newspaper-look Booklet
• Ltd. CD Digipak w/ Poster Booklet
“American Gothic”, the band’s fifth official release, is their third album with longtime partners Profound Lore Records in North America – and first for Century Media Records in Europe. Get it here.
