Gates of Metal Festival

Metal Heads -
we"ve been working hard behind the scenes to get the Gates of Metal Festival lV off the ground this year...unfortunately it's with heavy heart we have to announce we will not be able to hold this years Fest... the costs are just to high and obstacles are just to much to move forward..with any luck we will be back next year- most likely at a smaller venue where we can regroup and rebuild...we want to thank all the fans that suported us and all the bands and vendors for your submissions...we encourage you to check out some of the killer upcoming underground Metal Festivals this year - the Legions Of Metal Festival and the Blades of Steel Metalfest..take care of yourselves and we hope to see you soon...
