South of Heaven, West of Hell. Set in singer and multi-instrumentalist Stu Folsom’s apocalyptic vision of the American West, SpiritWorld is metal at its most rustic and blood-drenched. Think Slayer and Pantera getting into a bar fight while gunslingers battle demonic entities amidst tomahawk-like riffs. SpiritWorld emerged in 2017 as a musical outlet for Folsom’s love of punk, outlaw country, and metal, taking a decidedly outlaw-roots punk bent.
