The ground quakes, the surface fractures, and a colossal force rises from the abyss: GATES TO HELL have returned to deliver their undeniable truth—Death Comes to All. Freshly signed to Nuclear Blast Records, the Louisville natives charge onto the heavy music scene with their second full-length release. Blurring the lines between death metal, hardcore, and every brutal sound in between, GATES TO HELL bring a monstrous energy to the studio and an unmatched ferocity to their live performances. From local shows bolstered by LBD Fest and the thriving Louisville music scene to dominating larger stages, the band has evolved into a rising juggernaut of sonic destruction.

“GATES TO HELL is an amalgamation of the things we’re passionate about,” explains vocalist Ryan Storey. “Over time, touring and creating together, your influences, interests, and hobbies start to fuse into something unique.” Drawing inspiration from the violence and gore of classic horror, the band caters to fans of the grotesque and barbaric. Their album artwork—crafted by WYRMWALK—offers a glimpse into the terror within, featuring a haunting depiction of a caged, rotting grave in eerie purples and blues. This imagery is a fitting representation of the blood-soaked dread and suffocating darkness that Death Comes to All unleashes.

Looking ahead to 2025, GATES TO HELL are preparing to storm the road and spread their ferocious energy to as many new audiences as possible. With Nuclear Blast Records fueling their fire, they’re ready to leave concertgoers in the wake of their annihilation. Death Comes to All, but GATES TO HELL will make sure you feel it first.
