Paul Bostaph's BLACKGATES Release Studio Update - Video Available!

As previously reported Paul Bostaph's NEW project is called BLACKGATES, and it features Anthrax's previous singer Dan Nelson, guitarist Jeremy Epp (The Venting Machine) and bassist Uriah Duffy (Whitesnake). The group is currently in the studio working on the pre-production part of their debut album. This is what Bostaph had to say about this NEW project:

"Our sound is drawn from all of our influences. Mostly, we don't want to be a Thrash Metal band, although we draw from that genre as well. There is something in our music for everyone. Heavy grooves, good hooks and Dan's killer pipes. I think we have an independent sound that will stand on its own."

Today, the band released a video update regarding the current progress of their debut album:



BLACKGATES is:

- Dan Nelson (ANTHRAX): Vocals/guitar
- Paul Bostaph (TESTAMENT, SLAYER, FORBIDDEN, EXODUS): Drums
- Uriah Duffy (WHITESNAKE): Bass
- Jeremy Von Epp (THE VENTING MACHINE): Guitar/Vocals
