"Sombre gates" is the second full-length of THE COLD EXISTENCE, a freezing and smashing band from Sweden, set to unleash their metal storm upon every true supporter of extreme metal. Bearing the legacy of Dissection, their blackened/death metal non-compromising sound is also reminiscent of such seminal bands as Behemoth, Nile, At the Gates and Hypocrisy. Willing to tour steadily through Europe, the band now relies on the super heavy and ultra fast sound of an Andy La Roque (King Diamond) - mastered release. Black/death metal at its finest!
Since February 2009, the band is featuring among its ranks LORD BELIAL's guitarist Thomas Backelin.
