THE BEAST

Today, reanimated Belgian death-doom cult  Gateway  premiere the new track   "Flesh Reborn"   at   CVLTNation.com . The track is the second to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated comeback EP,   Flesh Reborn , set for international release on May 7th via  Chaos Records . Hear  Gateway 's title track "Flesh Reborn" in its entirety exclusively   HERE .

Based in Bruges,   Gateway  formed in 2014 and soon began their ascent through the underground as one of the murkiest and most mysterious death-doom bands around. After a stage-setting demo,   Gateway  released their self-titled debut album in 2015, which established mainman R as an individual with a decidedly twisted vision:  Gateway  didn't so much crush like most death-doom records did, but rather enwrapped the listener in a cocoon of mildew and moss.

A few digital singles followed thereafter, before the release of   Gateway 's second album,  Scriptures of Grief , which further fleshed out the band's torturous-yet-alluring sound. In 2018,   Gateway  released the acclaimed EP  Boundless Torture  before going on indefinite hiatus. A tragedy, that, as   Gateway 's name had firmly and formidably entrenched itself in the underground...

Now, at long last,   Gateway  rises from the slumber of the crypt with the aptly titled  Flesh Reborn . Featuring four songs across 26 minutes,  Flesh Reborn  reanimates   Gateway  in a most dramatic fashion. This is R's most ambitious effort - the songwriting winds and wends through labyrinths that are more uptempo than previous, with this uptick in speed also revealing a hitherto-unexplored catchiness, all before plunging to the abyss with the slo-mo destruction of the closing title track - resulting in a more focused sound and featuring deadly guest leads by M, a first for the band. Oozing atmospheric death-doom RIFF-worship for fans of Disembowelment, Coffins, Winter, Thorr's Hammer, and Rippikoulu,   Gateway  can now stand tall in the hall of the ancients with  Flesh Reborn !
