The Gates of Slumber – 5/21

A great last minute show for doom metal fans! THE GATES OF SLUMBER from Indianapolis – similar to Sabbath, Pentagram and Witchfinder General, with releases on Lee Dorrian’s Rise Above label. Opening will be ELECTRIC LUCIFER and one more TBA.

THE GATES OF SLUMBER encapsulates the metal experience for true believers. The Indianapolis doom metal trio formed in the late 1990’s with the goal of creating a band whose sound delivered an updated take on the member’s long list of favorite heavy metal greats. Weaned on Black Sabbath, St. Vitus, the melodic might of Iron Maiden and a host of classic bands from Thin Lizzy to Rainbow to Mercyful Fate, THE GATES OF SLUMBER draw deep from heavy metal’s most powerful blood and deliver doom in its purest form.

The band’s hotly anticipated new album, Hymns of Blood & Thunder drops on the heels of the brightest and busiest year in the respected power trio’s history; one that saw THE GATES OF SLUMBER pack clubs during its first U.S. headlining tour and land atop many year-end media polls with Conqueror, an album that was hailed as “a breath of fresh air within the doom / true metal underground.” The record placed at the #5 position in Decibel’s “Top 40 Albums of 2008″ and made Village Voice Media’s “Top 10 Metal Albums of 2008″, joining an impressive list of some of the genre’s finest including AC/DC, Judas Priest and Metallica.
