THE GATES OF SLUMBER Completes Writing New Album

November 26, 2007

Writing is nearly complete for what will easily be one of the doom-laden heavy metal highlights in 2008, namely the new THE GATES OF SLUMBER album, in which the trio have christened "Conqueror".

According to a press release, "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."

Says the group's record label, "It is through bands like THE GATES OF SLUMBER in which the ideal vision of where we at Profound Lore like to see heavy metal headed in the future, as opposed to all the processed dime-a-dozen pseudo metal bands in which continue to plague the genre today and smear the values of what real heavy metal should encompass. Simply put: THE GATES OF SLUMBER are the complete antithesis of artificial metal."

Songtitles set to appear on "Conqueror" include "Black River", "Eyes Of The Liar", and "Witch Throne". The band plans on entering Volume Studios with Sanford Parker (UNEARTHLY TRANCE, MINSK, PELICAN, NACHTMYSTIUM etc.) early-to-mid January to commit "Conqueror" to tape. A mid-May release is expected.
