THE GATES OF SLUMBER – Debut New Track

THE GATES OF SLUMBER have set a May 10th release date through Rise Above/Metal Blade for their new album “The Wretch”. For now, a new track from it by the name of “Coven Of Cain” can be streamed over at Decibelmagazine.com.

Speaking on the album, band frontman Karl Simon offered the following:

“No heroics this time, no swords; no sorcery. No fantasy. That stuff is OK; it’s fun…whatever, but we don’t feel it these days. This one is all about others let you down almost as much as you let yourself down. It might not make sense to you, but then you probably only have the last two records as a digital download. That, or your world is summed up by someone else’s soundbite.”

The track listing for “Wretch” runs as follows:

01 – “Bastards Born”
02 – “The Scovrge Ov Drvnkenness”
03 – “To The Rack With Them”
04 – “Day Of Farewell”
05 – “Castle Of The Devil”
06 – “Coven Of Cain”
07 – “The Wretch”
08 – “Iron And Fire”
