Pagan Rhythms

Pagan Rhythms is the debut studio album by American death metal and thrash metal band SpiritWorld, released by Century Media Records on July 10, 2020.

James Hickle of Kerrang! calls this "a soundtrack to [frontman] Stu [Folsom]'s non-musical writing, combining galloping thrash, pummelling hardcore, swinging rock’n’roll, and lyrical preoccupations with the American frontier and Native American mythology into a concoction its creator calls ‘death western’" that he rates 4 out of 5. Louder Sound's Joe Daly rated this release 4 out of 5 stars, calling this album "a bloody dive into the Wild West" that features "chaotic tempos and grinding death metal riffs".
