The Heathen Apostles were formed when vocalist Mather Louth, formerly of Radio Noir, and guitarist Chopper Franklin, a multi-instrumentalist known for his past with The Cramps and as a key figure in the Gothic Americana genre, met and shared their interest in all things dark and Western.
They recruited upright bassist Thomas Lorioux, from the group The Kings of Nuthin’, and violinist Luis Mascaro.
Since then, The Heathen Apostles have actively toured the United States and parts of Europe.
In 2019, proceeds from their benefit song Paradise Lost went towards victims of the California wildfires.
