The Legend of God’s Gun is one of the most striking debuts in years – a Western that
takes you to hell and back through a kaleidoscope of images, black comedy and fast blasting, death dealing
gunplay. It's a musical journey with peyote visions amidst the harsh backdrop of a cruel world and
religious vengeance.
Our narrator offers us hilarious snippets of crucial background on the damned residents of 'Playa
Diablo' - the Devil's playground of whores, liars, cowards and thugs that's plagued by "El Sobero and his
dirty, smelly, degenerate cohorts are a particularly ruthless bunch of bandits. El Sobero drinks scorpion
venom as the Bounty Hunter drags his work behind him, and the preacher strides into town to do the Lord's
work and cleanse this wretched world of Sin. Color enhanced images, and the snapping and popping of hissing
film reels follow our cowboys on their path to ultimate justice. You'll want to buy the soundtrack. Miss it
at your peril! - Mike Skurko
