It’s hard to be surprised by music but it happens every now and then. My friend (superfan Adam Fuzz) had American Gothic from Denver based band Wayfarer listed as one of his top metal albums of 2023. I took a listen and have been hooked. I thought to myself, this sounds like “spaghetti western black metal” and typed this into my search engine of truth, just to see if anyone were making those sort of musical association connection as I was. Only to discover an album titled exactly Spaghetti Western Black Metal - Duelist (Butte, Montana). Watching their music video, it’s hard not to be reminded of There Will Be Blood.
