This listing contains an autographed copy of the 2018 Heathen Apostles LP Bloodgrass Vol. I & II. Here's some info about the Heathen Apostles from heathenapostles.com:
 “No one sings as purely as those who are in the deepest hell. Theirs is the song which is confused with that of the angels.” Franz Kafka

Born of the voices of past lives and baptized in the dust bowl dirt, the Gothic Americana music of the Heathen Apostles harkens back to a bygone chapter of American history. Using contrasting influences such as Bauhaus, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and The Pogues along with Howlin’ Wolf, Loretta Lynn (the band covers her classic Fist City) and Bessie Smith, the Heathen Apostles have created a style of music that at once conjurs both angels and demons, and will enlighten a darkened soul.
Crossing paths at a gathering one Indian summer evening, femme fatale bellower Mather Louth (Radio Noir) and rock n roll veteran Chopper Franklin (The Cramps, Nick Curran & the Lowlifes) quickly uncovered a mutual appreciation for murder balladry, Americana, and memento mori. It was not long before a collaboration that sought to marry these interests in a sonic landscape, the Heathen Apostles, surfaced. The landscape was further tilled with the addition of Thomas Lorioux (The Kings of Nuthin’, Legendary Shack Shakers) on bass and Luis Mascaro on violin.
For 2024 the Heathen Apostles have signed to Rocky Road Touring agency (home to Peter Murphy, Sisters of Mercy, Killing Joke, Fields of the Nephilim, and Diamanda Galas), and will be touring in support of a new record. Check heathenapostles.com for updates and news.
