Colorado’s Wayfarer have just shared the new music video for “To Enter My House Justified”, directed by Alex Pace, starring “Denver Sound” legend Munly J. Munly and Michael Rouse. This is the second single from their upcoming Profound Lore/Century Media Records album, American Gothic, due out this October 27th. Continue below for the video and more.
Pre-order American Gothic (as worn-steel silver vinyl w/newspaper-look booklet or Ltd. CD digipak w/poster booklet) here.
Shane McCarthy (vocals/guitars) comments as follows:
““To Enter My House Justified” is one of the first pieces we wrote for the new record, and certainly is one of the more visceral tracks on it. Aggressive and to the point, it tells the story of a desperate search for respite in a world where powers are changing.“
“The song is an important cornerstone of the record, and we are thrilled to present it with this striking video that our close associate Alex Pace helped create alongside us.”
“It was an immense honor to have Munly J. Munly, of Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, Munly and the Lupercalians, DBUK and so many more seminal Colorado music acts perform as the star of the video. His presence in it is incredibly strong. The video also stars Michael Rouse (of Ghosts of Glaciers), and while it is in part a lens into the world of the record, it is also a bit of a nod to the American films of the late 1960’s and early 1970s which painted the ’Western‘ in a darker and more brutally honest light.”
The video for the first single, “False Constellation”, can also be seen here.

More from Wayfarer:
Wayfarer is the pre-eminent Western American Metal band. Comprised of four black clad players from Denver, Colorado, the band creates a thunderous and uniquely American genre of metal all to their own.
After ten years of existence, the band presents American Gothic – a defining statement of Western heavy music that explores the dark soul of the nation itself. This time working alongside accomplished producer Arthur Rizk (Eternal Champion, Kreator), the band brings an aggressive and expansive vision to life in a new full-length LP.
Led by powerful riffing, bleak melodic sensibilities, and pointed songwriting, this record serves as a funeral for the American dream. Caked in dust, and buried deep in blood and gunpowder, it paints a brutal and beautiful portrait, and sees Wayfarer elevate their unique and genuine brand of metal to new heights.
“What we have now is a world full of oil drillers, and railroad barons. Cattle thieves and company men. This is the new American Gothic.”
