Heaven’s Gate
HELLSHINE FEST | CROWBAR | TAMPA, FL | 11.17.2023
Heaven is a place in Ybor
A band that lives in the shadow cast by its own members has a lot to do to stand out. Each member has achieved the goal anyone sets out to accomplish from the moment they pick up an instrument — genre defining records, countless shirts sold world wide, adoration of the masses and copy cat bands in every city.
So why start over?
That is the most exciting part about Heaven’s Gate. Their love and passion for creating honest music. Tony’s infinite energy over Warthog riffs held together by Paul Mazurkiewicz - you know the drummer of Cannibal Corpse who established the style guide for proper Death Metal drumming - is truly something to behold. They don’t need to be successful and that freedom allows them to explore and play in ways they can’t in their day jobs.
Sure, they’re a supergroup, but that alone means nothing - Damnocracy can back me up on that. Beyond the resume of each member, Heaven’s Gate is worth approaching as a unique experience because they come together with what each artist has been refining for years. Sharing it in an exciting new way. Who they are is cool, no denying that, but what they’re doing is even cooler.
