Impending Doom is a five-piece Christian death metal band from the Riverside/Corona area of California.
The group signed to Facedown Records in January 2007,[1] and their debut release for the label, Nailed. Dead. Risen., reached #46 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart.[2] The record has received generally positive reviews.[3][4][5][6] The group embarked on a tour of the United States to support the album in fall 2007,[7] including dates with Dead to Fall, Winds of Plague and Belay My Last.[8]
The band refers to its style of Christian metal as "Gorship" - a portmanteau of gore and worship.[9] The band also clarify on their Myspace blog that "Gorship" is their way of worshipping "God" through their gore sounding music; not worshipping "gore" as some are led to believe. According to the band's Myspace page, they are currently in the early stages of writing a new album.

Brook Reeves and Manny Contreras started the band two years ago with ex members Chris Forno, Isaac Bueno, and Jon. After releasing the The Sin and Doom of Godless Men EP, Greg Pewthers joined on third guitar. Later, Jon left the band and David Sittig was added to the line-up. Andy Hegg later took the place of Bueno and the band recorded the album Nailed. Dead. Risen.. Forno quit the band in 2007 and the band has since stuck to two guitarists. Colby Hatt (Otumshank) has filled in on bass and will help out with a few shows on the upcoming tour this summer.
