Impending Doom is an American Christian deathcore band from Riverside, California. The group has released six full-length studio albums and are currently a five 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 combination of the words gore and worship.

It makes perfect sense that a band who chose violent death metal, grindcore, and hardcore to warn of society's inevitable destructive collapse would call themselves Impending Doom. After all, a sense of "impending doom" is often a harbinger of real danger, from a medical emergency to a poisonous sting.

Recorded with engineer Joseph Calleiro at Dungeon by the Sea in Los Angeles and mixed by longtime Doom collaborator Will Putney (Knocked Loose, The Ghost Inside, and Thy Art Is Murder"), Hellbent is a blistering five-song blast of readily identifiable Impending Doom brutality, with just enough of a modern flourish. "Satanic Panic," "New World Horror," "Culture of Death," "I Must End," and the title track are punishingly incisive entries into the band's esteemed canon, which stretches back to their 2005 demo.

Hellbent boasts the enduring trio who formed the creative core of Impending Doom in Riverside, California: vocalist Brook Reeves, guitarist Manny Contreras, and bassist David Sittig. As reliably as ever, they aren't armed with empty slogans or pointlessly shocking imagery, instead working mindfully from certainty and strength.
