New Those Poor Bastards Album & Novel Announcement!

Hello pals,

This September 11 Tribulation Recording Company proudly presents it’s first ever album-novel set! The book is entitled “The Terrible Tale of Edgar Switchblade,” and tells the story of a religiously obsessed and mentally disturbed bounty hunter, born with cloven hooves. Together with his faithful horse Old Red, they befriend and destroy werewolves, ghosts, prostitutes and other strange creatures. Armed only with his switchblade, Edgar wanders through bitter darkness in a desperate search for God’s cruel light.

The accompanying album, “Behold The Abyss,” explores the themes of the novel and expands upon several key events. The instrumentation is sparse, broken and filled right up to the brim with misery and ugliness.

When combined, the book and album present a brutal and hopeless picture of humankind’s lonely pursuit of spiritual and earthly desires.

The book will be available in pulp-style paperback, and the album on limited-edition colored vinyl and cassette, CD and digital download. Pre-order information will be announced soon. Glory be.

Your friend in misery,
Lonesome Wyatt
