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.
Haley Roughton leads the charge in Gore., a band that brings a distinctly feminine perspective to the heavy music scene. Debuted in 2023 with guitarist Alex Reyes, bassist Devin Birchfield, and now drummer Wills Weller, the Texas-based trio quickly made waves with their emotionally raw and unapologetically vulnerable. Gore. are poised to continue challenging norms and expressing the full spectrum of feminine experience through their powerful sound
