THE GATES OF SLUMBER Complete Writing New Album
November 26, 2007, 16 years ago
Writing is nearly complete for new GATES OF SLUMBER album, in which the Indiana-based trio have christened Conqueror. An excerpt from a new press release reads as follows:
Having the title set for a while now, Conqueror will continue the promise laid down with their doom trodden Awakening debut and the surging powerful acclaimed epic Suffer No Guilt (along with the several splits and EPs they’ve been involved with, the most recent
ones being the Relapse Records released split 7” with THE DREAM IS DEAD, and the split CD with Finnish act SPIRITUS MORTIS). In what will be a continuation from Suffer No Guilt with the songs being more to the point but still encompassing that epic fervor, surging melody, and that crushing doom-like vibe inherent within their style, Conqueror will easily prove that The Gates Of Slumber are one of North America’s most exceptional acts within this sphere of heavy metal.
Some song titles to appear on Conqueror are: ‘Black River’, ‘Eyes Of The Liar’, and ‘Witch Throne’, along with the title track. The band plan on entering Volume Studios with Sanford Parker (UNEARTHLY TRANCE, MINSK, PELICAN, NACHTMYSTIUM) early-to-mid January to commit Conqueror to tape.
Look for the North American release of Conqueror to surface sometime mid-May 2008 to coincide with the European release (via I Hate Records). And look for The Gates Of Slumber to do their fair share of touring amongst these shores within the new year as well.
