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

Guitarist Manny Contreras and vocalist Brook Reeves started Impending Doom together on October 31, 2005.[3]

The group signed to Facedown Records in January 2007,[4] and their debut release for the label, Nailed. Dead. Risen., reached number 46 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart.[5] The record has received generally positive reviews.[6][7][8][9] 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,[10] including dates with Dead to Fall, Winds of Plague and With Dead Hands Rising.[11]

Impending Doom released their second album, The Serpent Servant, on March 31, 2009, which has hit number 3 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart.[5]

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.[12][13]

The band confirmed that their album Death Will Reign would be released through eOne Music on November 5, 2013.[14]

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.[18]

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.[19] 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."[20]

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.[21]
