We Cry as One

Gates of Hell is a metal band formed in 2024, blending emotional depth with a heavy and intricate sound. Their music explores themes of betrayal, inner conflict, and the complexities of human connection, delivering a sound that is as intense as it is meaningful.

Caira, the band’s founder, is the creative powerhouse behind Gates of Hell. She serves as the vocalist, bassist, guitarist, lyricist, creative director, music video director, videographer, model, and social media manager, ensuring that every aspect of the band’s identity reflects her artistic vision. Caira’s lyrics, drawn from her own life experiences, bring an authenticity that resonates deeply with listeners. In addition to her musical contributions, she oversees the creation of the band’s music videos, developing concepts, filming, and appearing in them, while also managing the band’s online presence to connect directly with their audience.

Ben is the band’s principal instrumental composer and a key contributor as a vocalist, guitarist, and bassist. He writes the majority of the band’s instrumental arrangements, crafting intricate guitar and bass lines that serve as the foundation of Gates of Hell’s signature sound. His vocals bring a powerful counterbalance to Caira’s haunting delivery, resulting in a compelling dual-vocal dynamic that defines the band’s music.

Primitive (Marx) completes the lineup on drums, delivering a driving force that underpins the band’s heavy and layered compositions. His precision and energy form the backbone of Gates of Hell’s sound, bringing intensity and momentum to every track.

The band’s latest single, “Just Like the Devil,” is a testament to their ability to transform raw, personal experiences into music that connects with audiences. The single sets the tone for their upcoming album, featuring tracks such as “Master of Disguise,” “Web of Lies,” “Break These Chains,” “Loving You Was a Mistake,” and “Fell in Love with a Psychopath.” These songs combine heaviness with haunting melodies, reflecting the emotional complexity that defines their music.

Gates of Hell is dedicated to creating music that is both emotionally honest and musically compelling. With Caira’s vision, Ben’s instrumental craftsmanship, and Primitive’s rhythmic intensity, the band delivers a sound and aesthetic that leaves a lasting impression. Their work speaks to those who seek authenticity and depth in metal, offering a space for connection and catharsis through powerful storytelling.
