‘Shadow Walker‘ is the latest single from Gypsy Pistoleros, taken from forthcoming album Welcome To The Church Of The Pistoleros due for release in spring 2025.
‘Shadow Walker’ tells the story of a figure who exists between worlds, drifting through the boundaries of light and shadow, self and other, human and nature. The Shadow Walker is an elusive, shifting being, embodying the spirit of the changelings in the forest. The lyrics describe a journey through internal and external darkness, where the protagonist must confront hidden parts of themselves, symbolised by shadows. This journey is not just about uncovering secrets but about transformation, allowing the protagonist to merge with the mystic forces of the forest, shedding their old self in the process. A better World!
‘Shadow Walker‘ explores how facing and embracing our inner shadows allows for a profound transformation. The Shadow Walker’s journey is ultimately one of acceptance—of their connection to the unseen, primal forces of nature and the acceptance of their true self. By navigating the labyrinth of their fears, they achieve unity with both the self and the natural world, embodying a timeless, mystical force. Impervious to the Dark World that we live in!

The Welcome To The Church album was recorded at the renowned Old Cider Press Studios in Pershore, the album was produced and co-written by Dave Draper, whose credits include work with Ginger Wildheart, Nickelback, The Professionals and Terrorvision. Draper has described Welcome To The Church Of The Pistolerosas “a total monster” and one of the best projects he’s ever worked on.
This album is said to be a rallying cry to the outcasts, the misunderstood, the shy, the quiet and disenfranchised of Society. A place where they are welcome.
Gypsy Pistoleros’ sound spans a vast musical landscape—from 1950s Phil Spector-esque ballads to high-energy glam punk and Latin-infused rock. Fusing anthemic rock, Latin swagger, glam punk, and even elements of goth and emo, their music is a celebration of the unconventional.
Welcome To The Church album is set for release in early 2025 and be available in an assortment of bundle offers through Earache Records here. Cargo Records will distribute the physical album on CD and vinyl via HMV and all good indie record stores, with more information to be found here. A separate CD & Vinyl release for Australia & New Zealand will be released by Golden Robot Records.
“Welcome to the Church of the Pistoleros,” said frontman Gypsy Lee Pistolero, of the band’s previous single; a call to the lost, the strange and the beautiful weirdos in ‘Church Of The Pistoleros’. That single is available here and you can check out the video below here at RAMzine.
