Wayfarer's approach to heavy music is uniquely informed by their region. The Colorado band's mix of black and doom metal features a prominent country/folk music influence - making their music distinctly American, even within the scope of USBM.
I spoke with guitarist/vocalist Shane McCarthy about the ways living in Colorado shaped Wayfarer's sound, and what constitutes "Americana". We also discussed the Western elements that are prominent on their latest album American Gothic, and why he doesn't consider their new songs a departure from their previous albums.
My thanks to Shane for speaking with me, and to you for listening.
