==History==
== History ==
Guitarist Manny Contreras and vocalist Brook Reeves started Impending Doom together on October 31, 2005.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/pg/impendingdoom/about/?ref=page_internal|title=Impending Doom — About|publisher=[[Facebook]]|access-date=August 14, 2017}}</ref>
After leaving death metal band Oblige where he played guitar, Manny Contreras and vocalist Brook Reeves started Impending Doom together in 2005 with Chris Forno, Jon Alfaro and Isaac Bueno. The band practiced with their sound before writing enough songs to record their demo, ''The Sin and Doom of Godless Men''. After this release, Greg Pewthers joined as rhythm guitarist after also leaving Oblige. Later that year, bassist Alfaro left the band and David Sittig was added to the line-up in his replacement. Andy Hegg later took the place of Bueno and the band recorded the album ''[[Nailed. Dead. Risen.]]'' after getting signed to [[Facedown Records]]. Due to Andy Hegg's dedication to his soccer scholarship, Impending Doom was forced to employ substitute drummers for the tours that supported the album. Since then touring drummer Chad Blackwell became the official drummer for the band, during which Greg Pewthers returned to Oblige and was replaced by Cory Johnson, formerly of [[Sleeping Giant (band)|Sleeping Giant]].


The group signed to [[Facedown Records]] in January 2007,<ref>[http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=65797 Christian Death Metallers Impending Doom Sign With Facedown Records].

Impending Doom released their second album, ''The Serpent Servant'', on March 31, 2009, which has hit number 3 on the ''[[Billboard magazine|Billboard]]'' [[Top Heatseekers]] chart.<ref name="Billboard Chart Positions"/>
The band refers to its style of [[Christian metal]] as "Gorship" - a [[portmanteau]] of [[Graphic violence|gore]] and [[worship]].<ref>[http://www.decibelmagazine.com/features/nov2007/impendingdoom.aspx Impending Doom: Brutal Death Metallers Will Scare the Devil Out of You]. [[Decibel Magazine]]. Accessed December 19, 2007.</ref> The band also clarify on their [[MySpace]] [[blog]] that "Gorship" is their way of worshiping God through their gore sounding music; not worshiping "gore" as some are led to believe. Impending Doom released their second album, ''The Serpent Servant'', on March 31, 2009 which has hit number 3 on the ''[[Billboard magazine|Billboard]]'' [[Top Heatseekers]] chart.<ref name="Billboard Chart Positions"/> Their third album, ''[[There Will Be Violence]]'', was released on July 20, 2010. Sometime during the recording of the new album, both Manny Contreras and Isaac Bueno left the band for unknown reasons. Since then the band brought Brandon Trahan (ex-Mirror Of Dead Faces, [[xDEATHSTARx]]) into the line-up but have yet to find another permanent guitarist. The band has been on the Thrash and Burn tour 2010 with Through The Eyes of The Dead, Kittie, Born of Osiris, Asking Alexandria and more. They've toured with Mychildren Mybride, The Crimson Armada, Chimiria, and other bands.


''[[Baptized in Filth]]'' was produced by Andreas Magnusson who produced [[Oh, Sleeper]]'s album ''[[Children of Fire]]'' and was mixed by Machine. The album is focused in [[God]], [[Satan]] and [[Number of the beast]]. The first single is "For the Wicked" and the first video is "Murderer". A few months after the release of ''Baptized in Filth'', Cory Johnson was fired from the band and was replaced by former founding member Manny Contreras, who had become a member of Oblige (later known as The Devastated) during his time off from Impending Doom. Johnson soon after being fired join fellow [[Christian metal]] band, [[MyChildren MyBride]].
The band also created their own symbol called the "Repentagram" combining the words repent and [[pentagram]]. The band explained the Repentagram with the following:
<blockquote>“We’ve gotten a lot of mail questioning the Repentagram Logo, I would like to take time right now to explain it to you all. First off we are a christian band and a real one at that, we would never put something out that had satanic meaning or anything negative. We thought up the word “REPENTAGRAM” basically putting two words together. 1. REPENT (meaning: to feel such sorrow for sin or fault as to be disposed to change one’s life for the better; be penitent.) 2. PENTAGRAM (which in the dark metal world is a satanic symbol.) Since we are a Christian death metal band we wanted to think up something clever; thus the Repentagram came into thought. It is not the same amount of sides as a pentagram, we are going for making a Christian death metal symbol. Just like we created the word “GORSHIP” (which as you all should know, does NOT mean worship gore, it means worshiping God through our Gore sounding music) the Repentagram is just the new word. Please pass this information along to anyone you may know that thinks anything more than it really is."</blockquote>


Lead vocalist, Brook Reeves, was one of the many vocalists that performed at the Mitch Lucker Memorial Show on December 21, 2012, with [[Suicide Silence]] in honor of their deceased vocalist, Mitch Lucker, who died on November 1, 2012. Reeves performed the song "Ending Is the Beginning", off the 2005 ''[[Suicide Silence (EP)|Suicide Silence]]''. On February 26, 2013, Brook Reeves was also featured on the single track "Efforts to Outcomes" by Demise.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.facebook.com/DemiseBandOfficial |title=Demise |publisher=Facebook |date=April 26, 2013 |access-date=August 21, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sdlpzsrbh8g |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/Sdlpzsrbh8g |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|title=Demise - Efforts To Outcomes ft.

Impending Doom is an American Christian deathcore band from Riverside, California. The group has released six full-length studio albums and are currently a four piece with lead vocalist Brook Reeves as one of the two original remaining members along with Manny Contreras who left the band in 2010 but returned in 2012. The band refers to their style of music as "gorship" - a portmanteau of the words gore and worship.

History

[edit]

Guitarist Manny Contreras and vocalist Brook Reeves started Impending Doom together on October 31, 2005.[5]

The group signed to Facedown Records in January 2007,[6] and their debut release for the label, Nailed. Dead. Risen., reached number 46 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart.[7] The record has received generally positive reviews.[8][9][10][11] The band has since started a street team to promote their music, which can be found on their Myspace top 8. The group then embarked on a tour of the United States to support the album in autumn 2007,[12] including dates with Dead to Fall, Winds of Plague and With Dead Hands Rising.[13]

Impending Doom released their second album, The Serpent Servant, on March 31, 2009, which has hit number 3 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart.[7]

Baptized in Filth was produced by Andreas Magnusson who produced Oh, Sleeper's album Children of Fire and was mixed by Machine. The album is focused in God, Satan and Number of the beast. The first single is "For the Wicked" and the first video is "Murderer". A few months after the release of Baptized in Filth, Cory Johnson was fired from the band and was replaced by former founding member Manny Contreras, who had become a member of Oblige (later known as The Devastated) during his time off from Impending Doom. Johnson soon after being fired join fellow Christian metal band, MyChildren MyBride.

Lead vocalist, Brook Reeves, was one of the many vocalists that performed at the Mitch Lucker Memorial Show on December 21, 2012, with Suicide Silence in honor of their deceased vocalist, Mitch Lucker, who died on November 1, 2012. Reeves performed the song "Ending Is the Beginning", off the 2005 Suicide Silence. On February 26, 2013, Brook Reeves was also featured on the single track "Efforts to Outcomes" by Demise.[14][15]

The band confirmed that their album Death Will Reign would be released through eOne Music on November 5, 2013.[16]

In 2016, the first Impending Doom show in three years, took place at the Facedown Fest 2016 on May 14, 2016, in Pomona, California.[17] The band performed at Facedown Fest 2017.[18]

Their song, "Murderer", was included on the Killing Floor 2 soundtrack.[19]

On February 24, 2019, Brandon "B-Town" Trahan announced his departure from the band and that his good friend Andrew Holzbaur would be taking over.[20]

An EP, Hellbent, with Will Putney mixing, mastering and producing, was initially announced to be released on January 14, 2022, but was instead released early on digital platforms on October 29, 2021, as a surprise release.[21] On July 19, 2022, the band posted on social media that they are working on a follow-up to Hellbent, with Brook Reeves stating they hope to release it "Sooner rather than later."[22]

On November 6, 2023, the band released a new song, "Eternal", along with the announcement of another EP, Last Days, released on November 20, 2023, as their first independent recording.[23]

On New Year's Day 2025, the band announced the release of two singles–"Christ Is King" and "Punishment"–on January 3rd, 2025, to herald a new EP, Towards the Light, releasing February 7th, 2025.[24][25]

Music style and influences

[edit]

Impending Doom performs deathcore,[26] which is a fusion between death metal and metalcore.[27] They are influenced by death metal, grindcore, hardcore punk and nu metal.[28] The band refers to their style of music as "Gorship", which is described by Reeves as "Worshiping God through our gore-sounding music".[29][30]

The band has stated that they are influenced from groups such as Deftones, Korn, Slipknot, Lamb of God,[31][failed verification] Nile, Aborted, Guttural Secrete, Origin, Despised Icon and Ion Dissonance.[32] In various interviews, the band members have stated they draw influences from bands such as Meshuggah,[33] Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead,[34] Napalm Death, Suffocation,[35] Metallica,[36] Cannibal Corpse,[37] The Acacia Strain, As I Lay Dying, Killswitch Engage, Morbid Angel,[38] August Burns Red and many other bands.
