Texas metal four-piece GORE. — vocalist Haley Roughton, guitarist Alex Reyes, bassist Devin Birchfield, and drummer Wills Weller — are back and with a vengeance unparalleled.
The quartet has shared the video for the brand-new single ‘Lead Me to the Slaughter.‘ Watch it here.
“This song is about being indoctrinated into a cult, and idolizing what kills you,” the band states. “Idolatry is rampant beyond human repair with social media — we now look at people like they’re gods. We idolize money, fame, and beauty more now than we ever have as a society. These idols will lead us to nothing but guilt, shame, and suffering.”
GORE. are currently touring the US with Kittie. They will return to the UK, supporting I Prevail, in September.

GORE. dropped the IF YOU DO NOT FEAR ME… EP in late 2025. It followed GORE.‘s Spinefarm debut, the A Bud That Never Blooms EP (2024), which saw the band tipped as a “Band You Need To Know” by Revolver and described as “cutting-edge modern metal at its most vulnerable” by NME in their 2025 Essential Emerging Artists list.
