Indiana's True Doom Metal legends The Gates of Slumber was formed by Karl Simon in 1998. Various people were in and out of the group between 1998 and 2001, when the Blood Encrusted Deth Axe demo was recorded with Jamie Walters of Boulder on drums and Dr. Phibes\/Athenar (later to form the cult black metal band Midnight) on bass. In 2003 Jason McCash took over the bass duties and was a long-time member of the band until his untimely demise in 2014, after which Simon decided it was time to call it quits. That was until 2019 when the renowned metal festival Hell Over Hammaburg wanted to bring the band back on stage to perform at the festival's 2020 edition. Simon reformed the band with it's original member Chuck Brown on drums and Steve Janiak on bass and got back to work. \"We'd been asked several times to play Hell Over Hammaburg. But there was no \"we\" to play. The germ of the idea started. We started re-learning songs from the first LP. It wasn't too long into the rehearsals that we started coming up with new songs.\", states Simon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"The Gates of Slumber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41230653587527,"sku":"44747244","price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4384728-3301726.jpg?v=1732190148","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/gates-of-slumber-the-gates-of-slumber-1","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
