Neil Grace These Sci-fi savages really stepped up a gear on this release and more material is very much needed.
Sci-fi death metal at it's best.
Probably the soundtrack to Event Horizon.

ToeFisch Bolt Thrower meets Nocturnus in one of the best releases I’ve listened to in awhile. Oh and don’t forget awesome solos reminiscent of the NWOBHM greats. Looking forward to more!

Adam Hall Sci-Fi, Space, Crunchy AF riffs, an atmospheric undertone, Riffs I still remember in my sleep, what more can you as for? This is HM-2 death metal done right! 9/10 Favorite track: Drifting Into The Void.

C. E. This is chainsaw saturated death metal done the right way. Don't miss out on this E.P. if your a fan of sci-fi, space, and general death worshiping madness!

Departed on this journey Where no man has gone before Brave human pioneers Charting the Unknown The Odyssey takes its toll And dementia sets in Impaired by this plague Thrown into psychotic rage Schizophrenic crew Sadistic thoughts within Calls from the unknown The ones who destroy Rewired to slaughter And they ravage the others Broken by space and time Their paranoid minds Rot Departed on this journey Where no man has gone before Those who remain Fight on for their lives The mad have heard the call From voices of the Unknown Unwarranted Psychosis Has led these men astray

Stretched and contorted Evaporating before your eyes Time and space curved Your mind is flattened You scream for help But to no avail The vacuum takes its hold Trapped for eternity Witness your genetic code Disintegrate in front of you Molecular code erased Memories begin to fade You scream for help But to no avail This vacuum takes its hold Trapped for eternity Slowly Drifting Towards The horizon Slowly Drifting Towards The horizon Your genetic code Lost to the void Awaiting Your fate Instant Incineration Awaiting Your fate Instant Incineration You scream for help But to no avail This vacuum takes its hold Trapped for eternity Finally The time has come To join its ranks Succumbing to the Maelstrom Maelstrom

Drifting Into the void Endless vacuum Serenity Vast expanse of nothingness The light of dying stars My last vision Before slumber Approaching the gateway Cosmic dust Engulfs me Into the void I pass And to dust I return Slowly losing sanity Asphyxiating No longer I breathe My lungs now filling With the cosmic dust Into oblivion Go now I must

What lies beneath the surface? What lurks beneath the haze? Mankind can only dwell On secrets beneath Shrouded in noxious fog Mysterious clouded sphere Unseen By human eyes Titanic hydrogen mass Or exoplanet wasteland? Beneath its swirling clouds Are horrors never seen Oceans of toxic vapor Beneath the surface lurks The Nameless Alien Spawns And lifeforms yet unknown Titans Unknown Xenogenesis Of star spawned life Panspermia Proliferation Extremophilic lifeforms Biological feat What lies beneath the surface? what lurks beneath the haze? (Beneath the haze) Xenogenesis Lifeforms unknown Cosmic void of life Unknown Xenogenesis Lifeforms unknown Cosmic void of life Unknown Lifeforms unknown

Celestial force Drawing mankind to the stars New era of man Interstellar journey Heeding the call Quest for knowledge deepens Approaching the gateway Warping time and space Black sea Of infinity Black sea Of infinity The Black hole's center No type of matter escapes Enter the void From this there is no escape What lies beyond? The answers soon await Event horizon There is no turning back Black sea Of infinity Black sea Of infinity “We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.”

Special thanks to Eric Nguyen, Jay Clifton of Humanity's End, Chris Eakes of Hollowed Idols, MetalSwarm, Camo Pants Records, Rotted Life Records, and all the fans, zines, and people who support us. Extra special thanks to Raul Gonzales for making our vision come to life on the cover.

" Boethiah are prepared to take old-school death metal back into the stratosphere and propel us back into the “Lake of Fire” created by Nocturnus, while still being steeped in plenty of Grave, Dismember and Bolt Thrower to keep HM-2 enthusiasts happy." DECIBEL MAGAZINE

"gruesome death metal, to be sure, but with a frightening, hallucinatory atmosphere." No Clean Singing

"Imagine, if you will, an alien invasion set to the backdrop of sci-fi infused, blood ‘n’ guts death metal. That’ll be Boethiah‘s Celestial Gateway you’re picturing" WorshipMetal.Com

"Each track on this EP is a well written, well crafted and haunting piece of work that is sure to plague your mind for quite some time once you are done listening. Celestial Gateway is a very solid outing as it provides you with nothing but top notch death metal from beginning to end. Boethiah prove once again with this EP that they are one the most exciting new death metal bands out there and that they are here to stay." - Cadaver Garden
