Shane McCarthy (Guitars, Vocals) comments: “This album is an exploration of the American
idea, and the darkness that surrounds it. It was built from the ground up to encapsulate the
feeling of this place and its bitter history in every way, fully integrating traditional musical
stylings into its darker and more extreme sound, and serves as a definitive statement on Western
American Metal.  “We were able to fully realize this in working with producer Arthur Rizk to bring the album to life, and it’s in its own territory now. This is the Wayfarer sound, and this is ‘American Gothic’.
We look forward to sharing it with the world.”

Wayfarer is the pre-eminent Western American Metal band. Comprised of four black clad
players from Denver, Colorado, the band creates a thunderous and uniquely American genre of
metal all to their own.

After ten years of existence, the band presents 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 LP.

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.”
