Gates to Hell and Creeping Death Join Frozen Soul on 2024 Summer Tour
Since its inception, Louisville’s Gates to Hell has fused the finest elements from both metal and hardcore, highlighting fast metal riffs with heavy hardcore and deathcore breakdowns written in a manner unexplored within the Kentucky music scene. The band is taking 2024 by storm with their signing to Nuclear Blast, and touring with the likes of Machine Head, Fear Factory, and Municipal Waste. Not to mention, the band just entered the studio with Randy Leboeuf at Graphic Nature Audio in New Jersey to record their debut full-length on Nuclear Blast.
On July 12th, Gates to Hell will join headliners Frozen Soul on their North American Summer Tour 2024. The 19-day trek will make stops in Chicago, Buffalo, and Ottawa before concluding on August 19th in Little Rock. The package includes Creeping Death as direct support, while Enforced will open each night.
Gates to Hell states, “One of our earliest shows as a band before we got into touring was with Frozen Soul, and our first show ever was with Creeping Death, so it is super sick to be hitting the road supporting these bands and Enforced for the summer. We are currently in the studio recording a new record, so it’ll be really nice to get back to playing shows with a bunch of friends.”
Texas death metal behemoths Creeping Death will serve as direct support to Frozen Soul this Summer on their North American headlining run. The trek begins on July 12th in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and runs through August 9th in Little Rock, Arkansas. Additional support will be provided by Gates To Hell and Enforced. Creeping Death’s latest journey follows their recent US tour supporting In Flames. Tickets are available for purchase here. See all confirmed dates below.

About Creeping Death:
Creeping Death released their Boundless Domain full-length last June via MNRK Heavy. The critically lauded offering was produced by Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz (As I Lay Dying, The Acacia Strain, Underoath) and is, without question, a certified ripper from start to finish. Boundless Domain is available on CD, LP, cassette, and digital formats on MNRK Heavy here.
Watch Creeping Death’s previously released videos for “Intestinal Wrap,” featuring George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher of Cannibal Corpse, “The Common Breed,” and “Vitrified Earth” at the band’s official Youtube channel here.
Creeping Death summons a vibrant sound that is somehow both familiar and fresh. Their initial outburst, 2016’s three-song Sacrament Of Death, introduced them to death and thrash metal audiences, followed two years later by the Specter Of War EP. The following year saw the release of their debut LP, Wretched Illusions. 2021’s The Edge Of Existence EP further demonstrated the power, fury, and revelry at the heart of their identity. Tours with High On Fire, The Acacia Strain, Rotting Out, Terror, and The Warriors have spread the Creeping Death message. The band repeatedly delivers a relentless bludgeoning summoned from the furthest reaches of the genre’s past, present, and future. A triumphant celebration of the style itself, the Lone Star State fivesome whips up gruesome riffage and Southern grooves with an improbable cathartic glee.
