The Gates of Slumber

When I last wrote about The Gates of Slumber here, I mentioned that they virtually never stop touring. The relentless tour schedule has evidently taken its toll; after bassist Josh McCash announced his departure late in the week last week, frontman Karl Simon dissolved the band over the weekend.

The Gates of Slumber were supposed to go on a tour with Church of Misery that hits NYC on November 12 at Saint Vitus with Against The Grain (tickets). They’re still listed on the Saint Vitus show at the moment, but stay tuned for official word on whether or not they’re canceling.
