THE GATES OF SLUMBER @ THE LARIMER LOUNGE 6/11/12 DENVER-CO

“From the time of the seven kings, Til the tyrants iron rule, Fate written with the stroke of steel, Broken spear in bloody pool, Roman will must be fulfilled, Drumbeat on a march to war, The slave collar for those not killed, Their hollow screams ring evermore”

Mournful cries, crawling bass, galloping riffs and drums, pure doom metal is what The Gates Of Slumber play. Formed in the late 90’s in Indiana, they’ve released several masterpieces of heavy, slow, crushing doom like “The Wretch” “Hymns Of Blood And Thunder” and “Conqueror.” Doom Shall Rise!

Also playing: Hail!Hornet – sludge metal from North Carolina and Black Sleep Of Kali – stoner/sludge metal from Colorado.
