Indianapolis, IN doom metal masters THE GATES OF SLUMBER’s new music video - for the song 'Trapped In The Web' - makes its online premiere today via MTV’s Headbangers Blog. Check it out now at this location. The video will make it's world television premiere this Saturday, July 26th as part of the network’s long-running Headbangers Ball program. Headbangers Ball airs Saturday evenings beginning at 12 AM (EST) on MTV2.

'Trapped In The Web' is taken from The Gates Of Slumber’s new album Conqueror, which dropped on May 27th via Profound Lore Records. The album was produced and recorded in full analog at Chicago’s Volume Studios and produced by Sanford Parker. Weaned on Black Sabbath, Saint 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 draws deep from heavy metal's most powerful blood and delivers doom in its purest form. The band’s strong releases and powerful live performances have garnered waves of acclaim within underground circles, with tGoS being called “a breath of fresh air within the doom / true metal underground.”

When asked about Conqueror, The Gates Of Slumber vocalist / guitarist Karl Simon states, “Conqueror: One who conquers or vanquishes; victor. That sums up this record: it is what it claims to be. This is what happens when three metalheads, who remember the old days, decide they have had more than enough of people faking it, take matters into their own hands and set about putting things right.”

In addition to Simon, The Gates Of Slumber features bassist Jason McCash and drummer “Iron” Bob Fouts.
