The Gates Of Slumber announce new self-titled album
THE GATES OF SLUMBER have announced a new album!
A self-titled effort, the upcoming album from the Indiana-based doom metal legends is the long-awaited follow-up to 2011’s The Wretch, and is scheduled to be released in November this year, via Svart Records.
Having disbanded in 2014 following the passing of bassist Jason McCash, in 2019 renowned metal festival Hell Over Hammaburg wanted to bring the band back on stage to perform at the festival’s 2020 edition. Vocalist/guitarist Karl Simon reformed the band with its original member Chuck Brown on drums and Steve Janiak on bass and got back to work. “We’d been asked several times to play Hell Over Hammaburg. But there was no ‘we’ to play. The germ of the idea started. We started re-learning songs from the first LP. It wasn’t too long into the rehearsals that we started coming up with new songs,” states Simon.
Alongside the announcement of the new album, THE GATES OF SLUMBER have released a new song from the upcoming album; Embrace The Lie.
