“Zebulon Whatley’s sound isn’t so much a product of the recent roots revival as it is one of the bastard sons of roots music, and even among them it stands a black sheep.”
-No Depression: The Journal of Roots Music
Sons of Perdition
Heathen Hof (2022) - “A cacophony of primordial chants, rhythms and sounds. No one can accuse Sons of Perdition of trying to please the crowds…. It’s hard to digest even for a person like myself.” -Swedish Embassy of Gothic Country
Gathered Blood (2016) - “The sound is more dreamy, evocative and experimental compared with the previous albums. It's definitely more varied with hissing, shrieking and cracking sounds and noise, but still coherent (and very dark).” -Swedish Embassy of Gothic Country
Fossils (2015) - Split EP with Jaran Hereid
The Dissolution Orphans (2014) - A collection of demos and unused songs from Sons of Perdition’s first three albums, which constitute the Dissolution Triogy.
Trinity (2013) - “Zebulon has managed to pen the original arrangements for an album that is to fringe music what Arthur Rimbaud’s “Season in Hell” is to classic literature and what William Butler Yeats’ “The Second Coming” is to poetics.” -No Depression: The Journal of Roots Music
Psalms for the Spiritually Dead (2010) - “Sons of Perdition are a high water mark of slow musical intensity…. They’re sort of the Pink Floyd of the southern gothic genre….” -A Steampunk Opera
The Kingdom Is On Fire (2007) - “The Kingdom is on Fire is one of the best country albums to come out since the depression era. Zebulon Whatley has pushed the boundaries of what you can do with country music.” -Wayward Souls Productions
