VI.BE

Gateway was born somewhere in the medieval depths of Bruges, Belgium and exists as a one-man project lead by Robin Van Oyen.

Firmly rooted in death and doom metal, Gateway aims to create a vast wall of sound with slabs of drone and sludge. A bleak mausoleum filled with sluggish, monumental riffage and horrendous growls that echo beyond it’s desolate walls.

Gateway puts heavy emphasis on bulldozing death metal grooves influenced by the old school likes of Cianide, Winter and Rippikoulu while cranking up the low-end sounds as heard in lingering sludge and doom.

Slow, heavy and rotten...

Released in September 2014, Aeternae marks Gateway’s debut demo EP and features three unholy offerings of raw and vast death/ doom made over the course of three desecrated months.
