Formed in late 2003 by former members of Crimson Massacre, Gates of Enoch emerged from Houston, Texas, and rapidly rose to become one of state's most captivating and blistering black metal acts. Upon departing Crimson Massacre due to differences in opinion on musical direction, guitarist Deadaeons and vocalist Krullenzith quickly churned out a 2-track demo in early 2004. The duo's unique brand of twisted, chaotic black metal was immediately apparent, attracting the attention of bassist Lycanthrope, drummer Mythos (formerly of Last Eve) and guitarist Tephros (formerly of Ashes of Misery). First taking the stage on October 31st, 2004, this complete lineup took Texas and Louisiana by storm, pulverizing audiences in Houston, Austin, Dallas, Baton Rouge, New Orleans and Harlingen, holding their own on the stage with such acts as Enslaved, Rotting Christ, Immolation, Finntroll, Belphegor, Arsis, The Faceless, Averse Sefira, Thornspawn, Insidious Decrepancy, Vesperian Sorrow, and Quinta Essentia, quickly selling out of their independently released debut EP, "The Banishing."
After setbacks following the ejection of drummer Mythos, the recruitment of new drummer Kaziklu, the untimely death of Krullenzith in early 2006, and the departure of Deadaeons (who hand-picked Ouroboros, his successor), Gates of Enoch reformed, refocused, and are once again ravaging the land. Already completely sold out of "The Krullenzith EP," the band is currently recording the rough tracks for their debut LP, "Enochian Invocation," and are in the process composing a second full-length release's worth of songs. 2008 saw them further refining their craft and bringing their potent live assault to new territory. The band is currently seeking the promotion and support of a record label willing to help spread the darkness across this continent and onto others.
The Gates are open. The devastation has only just begun.
