Heathen Apostles at Clifton’s
The Heathen Apostles will be making a special appearance this Thursday, August 18th at the legendary (and recently remodeled) Clifton’s in Downtown Los Angeles.

The best part is, there’s NO COVER for the evening, so come and explore, and pick up an album or t shirt to show your support for the band!

REQUIEM FOR A REMIX – Uber Rock review
This just in: Jason Palmer of Uber Rock has shared kind words for REQUIEM FOR A REMIX, calling the latest Heathen Apostles release “a great mix of Goth and Industrial, helped along by the fact that Mather Louth has a great voice which at times is almost Siouxsie-esque.” If you haven’t done so already, you can purchase the album in both digital and physical form on the Heathen Apostles Bandcamp.
