Forming the Heathen Apostles in 2013, Mather Louth (Radio Noir) and rock n roll veteran Chopper Franklin (The Cramps, Mau Maus, Nick Curran & the Lowlifes) quickly uncovered a mutual appreciation for murder balladry, Americana, and memento mori. The band's sonic landscape was further tilled with the addition of Thomas Lorioux (Kings of Nuthin', Legendary Shack Shakers) on bass and Luis Mascaro on violin.

Their 7 critically acclaimed albums, along with their many EPs and singles (their release The Fall was named Best EP of 2018 by Folk n Rock magazine), capture the essence of the Heathen Apostles modus operandi: Southern Gothic Americana imagery surrounded by haunting, minor-chord melodies, musical influences including Gothic Roots music, Bluegrass, Blues, and Gypsy Jazz, all deftly bound together by the band's dark and sometimes brooding sense of a bygone age.
