Those Poor Bastards New Album -Gospel Haunted
Premier Gothic Country band Those Poor Bastards have just announced they will be releasing a new album, Gospel Haunted, on June 15. The project will be available on CD, and a limited edition clear vinyl. There will be a limited edition Gospel Outtakes 7″ on vinyl as well. Here’s the blurb from the band:
“Those Poor Bastards fifth full length album is an ungodly nightmare of salvation, dementia and doom. Features the twelve and a half minute misanthropic epic Ill At Ease, and fire and brimstone favorite “Glory Amen.”” Gospel Outtakes is: “Three discarded orphans from Gospel Haunted.”
The limited edition clear vinyl also comes with the CD, and you can also order all three items together. You can pre-order and preview all the tracks by CLICKING HERE.
It was also announced yesterday that Those Poor Bastards are part of a FREE full length horror compilation put together by Rue Morgue magazine. You can download the whole album and artwork by CLICKING HERE.

I’m excited about this (already ordered the limited package)! The free compilation is great, too, fantastic artwork. I haven’t listened to all of it, yet, but the TPB track is the one from the Halloween 7″ I think. I’m curious how the new album will sound like. The songs from the two 7″s they released last year didn’t really blow me away which was a first for a TPB release. I still have high hopes for the album, though!
Cheers,

I’d agree some of the limited editions don’t have as good of songs as the full length material, but that is probably why they are limited. I’ve always though of them as being for the core fans, and just as much for the collectibility of the vinyl as anything. I know that it’s kind of a marketing scheme, but I think it is really cool how TPB takes the time to make cool vinyl stuff with interesting artwork to accompany their music.

AJ,
I used to try to keep up with everything in CD form, even this free stuff. But I’m so far behind now, it goes straight into the digital library. It’s a shame because I’m really a fan of album artwork, TPB is a great example why.

Nice. I’ll definitely be getting this when I’m able.
