One of Melbourne/Naarm's most exciting young metal acts HEAVENSGATE is kicking off the second half of 2024 in heavy fashion. In the wake of their national headline tour of the same name, they have given us a little taste of what's to come with a brand new single 'RATKING'.
Along with a headline tour that starts in Adelaide this Thursday, June 6th, the band will join Ice Nine Kills (US) and We Came As Romans (US) in supporting The Amity Affliction on a national tour this November. They will also be heading to Tasmania with The Gloom In The Corner later this month so there's plenty of opportunities across the country to suss this band this year!

Get tickets to the RATKING TOUR here[/caption]The track 'RATKING' is possibly the band's heaviest venture yet. Described by the band as "a personal love letter", as they encourage listeners to find their own journey with it. Produced with Erik Bickerstaffe of Loathe and Cullen Forbes of Fallweather, with a mix and master by Lance Prenc (Polaris, Alpha Wolf), this three-minute onslaught is relentless. Constant tempo changes, snarling vocals and a breakdown that is sure to have you spin-kicking on every listen- it is surely going to cause mayhem at their live shows.Words by Kayla Hamilton (@kaylazomboid)
