Description
"The best gothic country I have heard to this day." Hank III
Those Poor Bastards return with their most wretched CD to date. Whereas 2005's "Songs of Desperation," explored the depths of misery and despair, "Hellfire Hymns" is a journey into sin, insanity and moral decay. Singer Lonesome Wyatt moans the doom over banjos, organs, guitars and what sounds like a very old and very broken piano. Fans of Nick Cave, Tom Waits and haunted 1930's Americana should find a sickly comfort within these songs.
Reviews:
Hellfire Hymns, the second full length from Madison, Wisconsin's Those Poor Bastards, is a masterpiece of infernal atmosphere. The production creaks like a gallows pole, and the songs don't seem ancient as much as they seem otherworldly, crafted by damned souls on Hell's plain.
These songs speak of bloody redemption, of what befalls those who stray from the straight and narrow. As sanctified as the songs seem, you get the idea that Lonesome Wyatt and The Minister don't speak from a high horse, but from personal experience of the tribulations of the damned.
Let the death country revolution descend. A+ - Owl and Bear
