Stick To Your Guns hold a mirror up to society’s ills without blurring its ugliness. In an attempt to unapologetically trumpet real change, the Southern California quintet—Jesse Barnett [vocals], Andrew Rose [bass], Adam Galindo [drums], Chris Rawson [guitar], and Josh James [guitar]—never shy away from speaking or screaming unpopular truths from the purest place. Founded in 2003, Stick To Your Guns have always written and performed with a sense of urgency, their socially conscious message hitting as hard as their signature hybrid of hardcore, punk, and metal. Over the course of their career, they’ve amassed over 50 million total streams, performed on six continents, and shared stages with the likes of Parkway Drive, Architects, and Rise Against.

Forming in late 2019, Gates To Hell aimed to fuse 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 released their first LP “Gates To Hell” in September of 2022, where they kept to their roots while developing a sound that was uniquely theirs.

The response blew all expectations out of the water, with no sign of slowing down. Gates to Hell spent most of 2023 on the road playing nearly 150 shows in 11 different countries and supported bands Dying Fetus, The Black Dahlia Murder, The Acacia Strain, Despised Icon, Sanguisugabogg, Bodysnatcher, 200 Stab Wounds, Kruelty, and Dying Wish on various tours across the US, Canada and Europe.

Continuing this momentum with no sign of slowing down, the band ushered in 2024 with a new home at Nuclear Blast Records, a pummeling new single, and heading on the road with labelmates Machine Head and Fear Factory.

Looking ahead to 2025, the Louisville natives charge onto the heavy music scene with their second full-length album, Death Comes To All, and prepare to storm the road and spread their ferocious energy to as many new audiences as possible. The band are ready to leave concertgoers in the wake of their annihilation. Death Comes to All, but Gates to Hell will make sure you feel it first.
