Since its inception, Louisville's GATES TO HELL has fused the finest elements from both metal and hardcore, highlighting fast metal riffs with heavy hardcore and deathcore breakdowns written in a manner unexplored within the Kentucky music scene. The band is taking 2024 by storm with their signing to Nuclear Blast, touring with the likes of MACHINE HEAD, FEAR FACTORY, and MUNICIPAL WASTE. Not to mention, the band just entered the studio with Randy Leboeuf at Graphic Nature Audio in New Jersey to record their debut full-length on Nuclear Blast.
On July 12th, GATES TO HELL will join headliners FROZEN SOUL on their 'North American Summer Tour 2024'. The 19-day trek will make stops in Chicago, Buffalo, and Ottawa before concluding on August 19th in Little Rock. The package includes CREEPING DEATH as direct support while ENFORCED will open each night.
GATES TO HELL states, "One of our earliest shows as a band before we got into touring was with Frozen Soul and our first show ever was with Creeping Death so it is super sick to be hitting the road supporting these bands and Enforced for the summer. We are currently in the studio recording a new record so it'll be really nice to get back to playing shows with a bunch of friends."
