Minnesota's Gates of Dawn exist at a strange and compelling crossroads — atmospheric black metal swirled through with psychedelic rock undertones and dungeon synth ambience, a combination that feels both vast and intimate. Their music conjures frozen northern landscapes and lysergic inner worlds in equal measure.
Gates of Doom is an epic death/black metal band from Cervignano del Friuli, active since 2015, having evolved from earlier melodic death/power metal origins. Their shift toward epic extremity reflects a darkening creative vision from the Friulian plains.
Gates of Holocaust is a black metal band from João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil, formed in 2015. The band released the six-track album Void on July 28, 2015, featuring material originally recorded in João Pessoa in 2012. Their music operates in a raw, underground black metal vein.
Taking their name from H.P. Lovecraft's dreaming fortress, Gates of Kadath traffic in black/death metal that feels suitably cosmic and malevolent. Formed in 2019 with no fixed location on record, they carry the air of something deliberately obscure.
