New Lonesome Wyatt and the Holy Spooks Album Coming in March!

010213_ghostballads
We are very pleased and frightened to announce the upcoming release of the new Holy Spooks album “Ghost Ballads.” It was covertly recorded at the deserted, decrepit and allegedly haunted Maribel Caves Hotel (otherwise known as Hotel Hell) in Maribel, WI. Lonesome Wyatt serves as the spiritual medium for these thirteen strange tales of death, longing and revenge from beyond the grave.

The album will be released on March 6, 2013 on vinyl, CD, cassette and digital download. Pre-order info will be announced soon!
Spook on.

Your pal,
Lonesome Wyatt

New Those Poor Bastards Album & Novel Announcement!

Hello pals,

This September 11 Tribulation Recording Company proudly presents it’s first ever album-novel set! The book is entitled “The Terrible Tale of Edgar Switchblade,” and tells the story of a religiously obsessed and mentally disturbed bounty hunter, born with cloven hooves. Together with his faithful horse Old Red, they befriend and destroy werewolves, ghosts, prostitutes and other strange creatures. Armed only with his switchblade, Edgar wanders through bitter darkness in a desperate search for God’s cruel light.

The accompanying album, “Behold The Abyss,” explores the themes of the novel and expands upon several key events. The instrumentation is sparse, broken and filled right up to the brim with misery and ugliness.

When combined, the book and album present a brutal and hopeless picture of humankind’s lonely pursuit of spiritual and earthly desires.

The book will be available in pulp-style paperback, and the album on limited-edition colored vinyl and cassette, CD and digital download. Pre-order information will be announced soon. Glory be.

Your friend in misery,
Lonesome Wyatt
