EP review: Gore. – If You Do Not Fear Me…
Dreamy Texas metal outfit Gore. incite all kinds of bitterness, lust and rage on their small but mighty offering.
Gore. have dropped their first music of 2026 in the form of the scorching Lead Me To The Slaughter, which tackles "being indoctrinated into a cult, and idolizing what kills you."
Gore. are back with new single Lead Me To The Slaughter, confronting idolatry and cult-like schools of thought.
The song - a stunning tech-metal gut punch of a track - marks their first release of 2026 and follows their 2025 EP If You Do Not Fear Me…
"This song is about being indoctrinated into a cult, and idolizing what kills you," the band state. "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."
