Summoning Hellgates are a band from Spain that plays a mixture of war, black and death metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Spear Of Conquest" which will be released in November by Osmose Productions.
A very dark and ritualistic synth orientated intro starts off the album along with a brief use of spoken words before going into more of a heavier and brutal direction. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and the faster sections of the songs also add in a lot of blast beats and war metal elements.
Vocals mix both black and death metal together while the music is heavily rooted in the 90's era with a more modern touch. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very old school chaotic style along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, some of the riffing also adds in a small amount of melody.
Summoning Hellgates plays a musical style that takes war, black and death metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover spiritual devastation, existential decay and ritual violence.
In my opinion Summoning Hellgates are a very great sounding mixture of war, black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Conciliabulo" and "Cilice of Atonement". 8 out of 10.
