Wretch – self-titled
The Gates of Slumber’s ultimate album, Wretch, was definitely their most downtrodden affair, a slight departure from their early days of ice worms and…
The Gates Of Slumber
I see your multi-venue, multi-day, multi-genre music festival, and raise you… a two-day, all-day doomfest!
Blame Gary Bettman. Normally, the NHL playoffs end just in time for North by Northeast, but with the lockout pushing everything back, the puck drops on Game 2 tonight with the festival in full swing…
Devil to Pay – Fate is Your Muse
Hellbound Metal: In any case, they might have flown under the radar for some time, but this album proves that if you sleep on this Indy outfit, well, payback is a bitch. 😉
Hammers of Misfortune / The Gates of Slumber / Castle / Kosmograd @ The Courthouse, Toronto ON, July 27, 2012

Hellbound Staff Interrogations #17: Justin M Norton

The Gates of Slumber – The Wretch
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the trad-metal gallop of tunes like “Ice Worm” and “Iron Hammer,” but the new, slower TGOS on display on this album is right up my alley.
Black Tusk – Passage through Purgatory
Questionable timing aside, this is a solid, albeit less-than-spectacular slice of Georgia sludge.
Ghost – Opus Eponymous
If you consider Opus Eponymous to be a pop album, you probably think Yes and Genesis are pop bands, too. Erm, wait a minnit. Well, I can’t say I see Ghost going down that route, anyways. After all, it won’t be the 80’s for another 69 years…
