GATES TO HELL Drops New Single ‘Disfigured’ Ahead of Fall Tour Dates


Louisville natives GATES TO HELL are back with a new digital single, “Disfigured.” The track is a brutally heavy, all-killer-no-filler song—essentially one long, punishing breakdown. The single is a B-side from the band’s recent album, Death Comes to All, which was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Randy LeBoeuf.

The band comments that they wrote the track a few years ago and decided to release it now to coincide with their upcoming tour with Dying Fetus. They recall playing it on a 2023 tour where it got the crowd moving every night, and they’re excited to finally have it out for the world to hear.

Starting on September 20th, GATES TO HELL will embark on a 24-day trek that includes performances at the New England Metal & Hardcore Fest and Louder Than Life. They will also join headliners Dying Fetus on their ‘Into The Cesspool’ US/Canadian 2025 tour with Mugshot. Following the tour, the band will wrap up the year with a show in Albany, New York, before kicking off a run in Europe with Sanguisugabogg, Fulci, and Celestial Sanctuary in the new year.

The band’s recent album, Death Comes to All, was fueled by youthful ambition and a sharp creative focus, with producer Randy LeBoeuf elevating their sound to new heights. The album’s artwork, crafted by WYRMWALK, offers a fitting representation of the blood-soaked dread and suffocating darkness within the music. The album is available in multiple formats, including CD and various vinyl pressings.

⛓️🔥 MUGSHOT Blasts Celebrity Culture with Crushing New Single “Next To Your Idols”! New Album “All The Devils Are Here” Arrives June 20th! 🎧💀

San Jose metalcore/hardcore juggernaut MUGSHOT has unleashed their second blistering single, “Next To Your Idols,” from their highly anticipated sophomore album, “All The Devils Are Here,” set to detonate on June 20th via Pure Noise Records. This track is a furious indictment of celebrity worship and the disturbing trend of idolizing those who abuse their power and platform.

“‘Next To Your Idols’ is a critique on celebrity culture and the adornment of those who use their platform to mistreat or take advantage of others,” the band states with righteous anger. “It’s an indictment on Hollywood and the manipulation that surrounds it and similar circles.” The track delivers this message with MUGSHOT’s signature blend of brutal metalcore and hardcore intensity, a sonic battering ram aimed squarely at the toxic underbelly of fame.

“All The Devils Are Here,” a massive 12-track record produced by Randy Leboeuf (known for his work with Kublai Kahn, The Acacia Strain, Gideon, and Bad Omens), marks a significant new chapter for MUGSHOT. Following their hard-hitting 2023 EP, “Cold Will,” and nearly a decade after their acclaimed full-length debut, “Dull Boy,” this album sees vocalist Ringo Waterman, guitarist Michael Demko, drummer Connor Haines, and bassist Ciro Abraham locked into a devastatingly brutal groove. Their sound is a violent storm, a relentless collision of metal and hardcore influences. The album also features the previously released sonic assaults “Vale of Tears,” “Die In Fear,” and “Afore A Waking Nightmare,” all hinting at the sheer rage contained within.

Regarding the new album, the band comments: “This album is the most collaborative we have ever been as a band, every person had a major hand in creating whether that be musically, lyrically or both. It’s also the first album we haven’t self produced and having Randy Leboeuf on board was so invaluable, he really felt like a 5th member. Lyrically this is the most personal and pissed off we have ever been and we think everyone will be able to connect with many tracks on this record.”

MUGSHOT will be taking their sonic fury on the road all summer long in support of “All The Devils Are Here,” including performances at major festivals like Welcome To Rockville and Louder Than Life. Tickets are available now at https://mugshotca.com/.
