Gates To Hell backstory

Along with the likes of Kruelty and Vomit Forth, Gates to Hell have nailed that hardcore/death metal blend that’s so in vogue stateside.

The Kentucky crew’s self-titled debut – along with their incendiary live shows – put them on the international map in 2022, and that was enough to turn the heads of metal mega label Nuclear Blast.

Now they’re on the cusp of releasing their second album, Death Comes to All, with Next to Bleed the first track to be unveiled from that opus.

In Gates To Hell’s own words

We’ve been working real hard and we’re excited to share with you all the next chapter for Gates to Hell starting with our first single Next to Bleed.

“This is our most diverse and well-rounded collection of songs we’ve made and we’re stoked to finally be able to release this record to the world soon.”

The verdict on Next to Bleed

Reminiscent of Nails’ rabid assaults, Next to Bleed is quick burst of chaotic energy and stinging riffs. The track is frantic from of the off and channels the quintet’s live force brilliantly: Gates to Hell may be ascending the extreme metal ladder, but this is straight from the underground… and straight from the gut.

Death Comes to All could be one hell of a record, if this is anything to go by…

What’s next for Gates to Hell?

Death Comes to All will hit on March 21, via Nuclear Blast and the band are currently on a European jaunt with Kublai Khan, Gideon and Terminal Sleep, where they’re giving fans a taste of their new material. They’re in the UK and Ireland from January 26, where they’ll be playing nine sold-out shows.
