Gatesofhellrecords is glad to announce the release of CABALLERO’s self-titled debut album on VINYL (LMT to 400) and TAPE (LMT to 100). A soon-to-be underground classic, the album calls back to the glory days of early USPM from the likes Jag Panzer, Omen, Brocas Helm, and Cirith Ungol! A perfect fit next to label mates Phaëthon.

The album’s seven cuts conceptually tie together the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, drawing from that exact point in history as well as Aztec mythology. Ultimately, though, the songs are about warfare, which can be seen as a divine calling and a route to immortality for the brutal warriors on both sides of the conflict. The central figure is Mictlantecuhtli, the Aztec God of Death, looming over the two sides of the conflict, which captures an essential part of what the album is about. In the words of the band: “This album sounds like a battlefield, smells of blood and sweat and torments you with terrors both physical and metaphysical.”

Listen to the first single Caballero, from the album Caballero, by Caballero now!

A new year brings a trifecta of action from cult New York City metallers TOWER: A fresh single, European tour and a new album—in that order!

Hot off the heels of an intensive touring schedule since the release of 2021’s “Shock To The System”, TOWER hit the studio with acclaimed producer and engineer Arthur Rizk in Fall of 2024 to record “Let There Be Dark”, which will see the light of day this spring.

According to the band, “Let There Be Dark” was influenced by the current foreboding state of the world, and it shows—its first single, “Under The Chapel”, is an ominous hymn that cascades through a nightmarish dreamscape, amplified with backing vocals by Jason Tarpey.

“The song’s lyrics and melody were inspired by a Yiddish lullaby my grandmother would sing to me as a child,” says frontwoman Sarabeth Linden. “It always felt extremely haunting. It was really cool to use that as inspiration and also pay homage to my grandmother and my heritage.”

The 7-inch, “Under The Chapel"(c/w Iron Clad), and accompanying music video will be released on February 21, just in time for TOWER’s return to the stage in select cities in Europe. The band will be bashing out the single’s two tracks and older favorites during the run.

“These [last 4 years] years have hardened and matured us if nothing else,” says guitarist James Danzo. “I hear less rock 'n roll influence in our music now. We went from straddling the fence between rock and metal to landing squarely on the metal side.”

“I agree with James with how we’ve grown and matured as a band,” adds Linden. “However, rock n roll is here to stay! And the rock definitely still influences our music, at least lyrically and melodically speaking. I believe we’ve gained more confidence, especially when it comes to taking more risks in songwriting and recording in the studio.”

Our 2025 is off to a legendary start with the return of Olympia’s cult rockers CHRISTIAN MISTRESS!

Today we’re extremely glad to present “Mythmaker”, the first single off their upcoming fourth studio album entitled, “Children of the Earth”. The album marks the long-awaited resurrection of the seminal US band, whose last effort “To Your Death” was released by the world renowned Relapse Records exactly ten years ago! “Children of the Earth” welcomes the return of Christiane Davis and her acolytes with an aggressive and straight sound that harkens back to the band’s debut.

“Children of the Earth” will be released February 28, 2025 and March 7, 2025 in the US.

Gatesofhellrecords is pleased to announce the reissue of Capricorn's debut demo “...Running out of time” on cassette!

CAPRICORN is a relatively new German band formed in 2021 by vocalist Eerie Strains and multi-instrumentalist Chandrian. They play a sort of melancholic Heavy Metal with strong NWOBHM elements seasoned by a doomy, epic feeling reminiscent of Cruz label mates Smoulder and The Watcher.

“...Running out of time” has a sincere and emotionally-driven approach that is sure to please fans of genuine, authentic Heavy Metal.

It will be available mid January in a limited run of 100 copies. 25 on ‘Jungla’ and 75 "Classic Black" with wonderful cover artwork by Luciana Nedelea and new layout by TurboRock Productions!

🔥 Hey Heavy Metal Soldiers ! 🔥
🇫🇷 Après quelques semaines de repos et une édition 2024 incroyable, l'équipe de Pyrenean Metal s'est remise au travail pour vous concocter ce P.W.O.A IX qui se déroulera le 13 Septembre 2025 sur le magnifique site de Juhègues à Torreilles. Les 3 premiers groupes annoncés sont:
⚔️ Q5 (Heavy Metal 🇺🇸)
⚔️ SAVAGE OATH (Trve Epic Heavy Metal 🇺🇸)
⚔️ STAR RIDER (Hard & Heavy Metal 🇫🇷)
➡️ Lancement des pré ventes physiques le 13 Janvier 2025, lors de la prochaine annonce.

Defenders of the flame
L'équipe de Pyrenean Metal
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
⚔️ Q5 (🇺🇸)
Formé en 1983 par la rencontre de membres des groupes C.O.R.E. (dont le guitariste Floyd Rose, inventeur du fameux vibrato Tremolo Lock qui porte son nom) et TKO, Q5 se fait rapidement remarquer sur les scènes locales par leur brillant mélange entre pur Hard Rock 70's et Heavy Metal US. Le groupe enregistre rapidement son premier album “Steel The Light” en 1984, qui leur vaut un gros succès critique et l'attention des gros labels. Q5 commence à tourner intensément en première partie de Lita Ford et Twisted Sister, et sort son second disque “When The Mirror Cracks” en 1986. Malheureusement, des tensions internes trop fortes amènenet le départ de Floyd Rose la même année, suivi du split du groupe dans la foulée. Les membres restants fondent de nouveaux goupes, notamment Nightshade, mais aucun n'arrive à obtenir le succès de Q5. C'est finalement suite à une proposition du festival Headbangers Open Air que les musiciens décident de se remettre ensemble en 2009. S'en suivront des participations à de nombreux festivals, puis la sortie d'un troisième disque “New World Order” en 2016. Aujourd'hui composé du chanteur d'origine Jonathan Scott K. et d'un nouveau line-up rassemblé en 2020, Q5 débarque pour la première fois à Torreilles pour nous régaler avec leurs grands classiques comme “The Right Way” ou “Living On The Borderline”. Une occasion unique de voir un groupe qui influença de grands nom comme Great White (US) ou Wolf (Swe).

⚔️ SAVAGE OATH (🇺🇸)
Vous voulez de l'épique ? Vous n'en avez pas encore eu assez avec les prestations précédentes de Manilla Road, Atlantean Kodex ou Eternal Champion ? Parce qu'en 2025, Toreilles va être agressée par 4 Cavaliers de l'Apocalypse qui n'ont pas l'intention de faire de quartier ! Réunion du trio d'enfer composé du chanteur Brendan Radigan (Sumerlands, Pagan Altar ou encore Magic Circle), du guitariste Leeland Campana (Visigoth) et du bassiste Phil Ross (Manilla Road, Ironsword) auquel s'est associé le batteur Austin Wheeler, Savage Oath a fait une grande sensation avec son EP éponyme en 2023. Mais ce n'était rien comparé au choc que fût leur tout premier album “Divine Battles” sorti en 2024 : voilà du pur Heavy Metal épique comme seules les Etats-Unis savent en produire, et Savage Oath est rapidement devenu un nom à suivre pour tout amateur de Twisted Tower Dire ou même Megaton Sword. Préparez-vous à l'impact, car Savage Oath n'a l'intention de faire aucun prisonnier et qu'ils viennent écraser toute concurrence européenne !

⚔️STAR RIDER (🇫🇷)
En France, on n'a pas de pétrole mais on commence à avoir un bon paquet de nouveaux jeunes groupes de Heavy Metal. Fondé en 2021, le groupe comprend en son sein notamment des membres de Electric Shock, ce qui est déjà un gage de qualité. Après un premier EP éponyme chez Steel Shark Records en 2022 qui leur a permis de se faire un nom, le groupe a posé ses roubignoles sur la table pour son premier album “Outta Time” en 2024 qui les a rapidement fait comparer à Enforcer par la presse internationale, mais aussi à Traitor's Gate, Tyson Dog et même Cage. Autant dire que si vous aimez les riffs assassins et les refrains vénéneux à base d'alcool, de s*xe et de rock n' roll, vous allez être servi tellement Star Rider maîtrise son sujet et sait proposer un Hard n' Heavy de qui vous collera un torticolis de derrière les fa**ts tellement vous allez secouer votre tête !

After a few weeks of rest and an incredible 2024 edition, the Pyrenean Metal team got back to work to concoct this P.W.O.A IX which will take place on September 13, 2025 on the magnificent site of Juhègues in Torreilles. The first 3 bands announced are:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
⚔️ Q5 (🇺🇸)
Formed in 1983 by the meeting of members of the bands C.O.R.E. (including guitarist Floyd Rose, inventor of the famous Tremolo Lock vibrato which bears his name) and TKO, Q5 quickly stood out on local scenes with their brilliant mix between pure 70's Hard Rock and US Heavy Metal. The group quickly records its first album “Steel The Light” in 1984, which earned them great critical success and the attention of major labels. Q5 began touring intensively as the opening act for Lita Ford and Twisted Sister, and released their second record “When The Mirror Cracks” in 1986. Unfortunately, excessive internal tensions led to the departure of Floyd Rose the same year, followed by the split of group immediately. The remaining members founded new bands, notably Nightshade, but none managed to achieve the success of Q5. It was finally following a proposal from the Headbangers Open Air festival that the musicians decided to get back together in 2009. This was followed by participation in numerous festivals, then the release of a third album “New World Order” in 2016. Now made up of original singer Jonathan Scott K. and a new line-up assembled in 2020, Q5 arrives for the first time in Toreilles to delight us with their great classics like “The Right Way”. or “Living On The Borderline”. A unique opportunity to see a group that influenced big names like Great White (US) or Wolf (Swe)

⚔️ SAVAGE OATH (🇺🇸)
Do you want it epic? Haven't had enough with previous performances from Manilla Road, Atlantean Kodex or Eternal Champion yet? Because in 2025, ears will be attacked by 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse who have no intention of giving any quarter! Reunion of the incredible trio composed of singer Brendan Radigan (Sumerlands, Pagan Altar or Magic Circle), guitarist Leeland Campana (Visigoth) and bassist Phil Ross (Manilla Road, Ironsword) joined by drummer Austin Wheeler, Savage Oath made a big sensation with their eponymous EP in 2023. But it was nothing compared to the shock that was their very first album “Divine Battles” released in 2024: this is pure epic Heavy Metal as only the United States knows produce some, and Savage Oath quickly became a name to follow for any fan of Twisted Tower Dire or even Megaton Sword. Brace yourself for impact, because Savage Oath intends to take no prisoners and they are coming to crush all European competition!

⚔️STAR RIDER (🇫🇷)
In France, we don't have oil but we're starting to have a good number of new young Heavy Metal bands. Founded in 2021, the group includes members of Electric Shock, which is already a guarantee of quality. After a first eponymous EP on Steel Shark Records in 2022 which allowed them to make a name for themselves, the group put their work on the table for their first album “Outta Time” in 2024 which quickly made them compare to Enforcer by the international press, but also to Traitor's Gate, Tyson Dog and even Cage. Suffice to say that if you like killer riffs and poisonous choruses based on alcohol, s*x and rock n' roll, you will be served as Star Rider masters its subject and knows how to offer a Hard n' Heavy that will stick with you a stiff neck fromhow hard you will bang your head !
