"'Helldorado' is just fun as hell. SpiritWorld’s riffage is front-and-center, but you’ll also be singin’ these songs into the moonlight with a clunky guitar and a cup o’ cowboy coffee, pardner."
–Angry Metal Guy
"As concepts go, SpiritWorld's is rock solid. 'Helldorado' is the Las Vegas crew's third album, and the most potent demonstration yet of their unique blend of brutish thrash and sun-scorched Americana."
–Blabbermouth
"Heavy, hard-rockin’ Western twang."
–BrooklynVegan
"No one else out there is blending rockabilly, metal, horror films and quality prose in one place... 'Helldorado, the third album, is a cultural mash-up perfect for these apocalyptic times."
–Decibel
"'Helldorado' is just a ton of fun. The story is packed with mature philosophical asides and campy B-movie allure, like the Coen Brothers collabed with Robert Rodriguez. The heavy instrumentation calls back to the death and thrash metal pantheon, accented extraordinarily well with a keen, finely executed country music aesthetic."
–Everything Is Noise
"Thrash metallers SpiritWorld are back... ['Helldorado'] blends H.P. Lovecraft and Western pulp for one hell of a wild ride."
–Fangoria
"Combining country music and bedazzled outfits with punk aggression and thrash metal riffs, the Las Vegas act are a sight to behold and they return with a vengeance on third full-length album "Helldorado.'"
–Ghost Cult
"Helmed by mastermind Stu Folsom and visualized by artist extraordinaire James Bousema, 'Helldorado' stands tall as a journey navigating all ends of the metal, punk, Western, and hardcore arenas, never settling on linear conventions."
–Heaviest of Art
"'Helldorado' ruthlessly delivers a collection of groovy, raw riffs that ignite the bloodiest mosh pits while also bravely exploring Western themes through folk-punk and alternative country tunes."
–Heavy Music HQ
"Functioning as the completion of his overarching, acid western headtrip, the album bookends what Folsom began with 'Pagan Rhythms' and further built with 'Deathwestern.' More importantly, 'Helldorado' seems to showcase Folsom as a songwriter in the truest sense of the word."
–Knotfest
"The third in what's their calling their 'death-western trifecta' has plenty of twang but is able to dip a toe in a lot of metal flavors still. If you've ever been curious about this band's deal, this would be a great place to sample them and them travel backwards into a whole unique world."
–Metal Injection
"Proudly displaying the dichotomy of his Native American heritage with his old west cowboy lineage as part of the band’s iconography, Folsom braids this seamlessly into the band’s sound that takes from outlaw country, early crossover, and filthy hardcore. Buckle up, buckaroo, because this here’s the wildest ride in the wilderness!"
–New Noise
"I’ve always had a soft spot for Westerns... And, I love me some abrasive deaththrash. So imagine my elation upon finding SpiritWorld who puts these things together as effortlessly as breathing... The band’s third full length 'Helldorado' finds them supremely comfortable with their brand but comfortable enough in their own skin to try new things and shed their bulletproof exterior."
–Nine Circles
"Their ability to churn out absolutely disgusting riffs and fuse them with their Old West aesthetic makes them the most relevant cowboys from Hell since Dimebag did it 30 years ago."
–No Clean Singing
"While Spiritworld’s new 'Helldorado' concludes the band’s gothic-horror-themed album trilogy with some of the most tumbleweed-tumblin’ country sounds of their career thus far, the Las Vegas, Nevada, genre-hoppers are still metal and hardcore kids at heart."
–Revolver
"On their first two albums, 2020’s 'Pagan Rhythms' and 2022’s 'Deathwestern,' Stu Folsom’s Las Vegas punk-metal crew SpiritWorld explored the darker, grimier side of the cinematic myth of the American West. Both records are full of twangy, guttural riffage and demonic cowboys, and they’re a lot of fun... Stu Folsom has long sought to find room for old-school country music influence in his kitsch-damaged hot-rod metallic roar, and 'Helldorado' [steers] further in that direction."

"Reverend Horton Heat one moment, the next second Slayer. But the beauty of Spiritworld, never more evident than on 'Helldorado,' is that you don’t hear the static between the musical styles. They flow so seamlessly, your head doesn’t spin a millimeter."
–Treble
