Glory’s Gate is a Christian Rock band from Washington, Illinois founded in 2017 and led by father-son duo J.T. Marshall and Jon Anthony. Known for their rich mix of heavy guitars, soaring synthesizers, and rock-fueled vocals with AOR influences, the band features Jon Anthony (synthesizer/guitar/vocals), J.T. Marshall (songwriting/lead vocals), Brian Firmand (lead guitar), Casey Young (drums/vocals), Robyn Davis (guitar/bass/vocals), and Todd Akers Jr. (bass).
Together, they create music centered on faith, hope, and resilience; encouraging listeners, especially young people, facing challenges like depression. Their debut album, ”Stay Strong” (2018), gained them recognition and led to performances at notable events like the Gospel Spin Awards in Atlanta and Unite Fest in Peoria, Illinois. In 2023, they released their second album, ”Reign,” available on over 140 platforms. Now, Glory’s Gate present two songs: ”Pierced Through the Heart” and ”How Long.”
A fusion of flamenco and rock, ”Pierced Through the Heart” tells the story of a never-ending struggle between light and darkness. We are constantly swayed by temptations, only to awaken and find ourselves tormented, broken and alone, while our hearts long to be with our one true love. The second song, ”How Long,” is a classic rock -styled piece inspired by Matthew Chapter 24, which takes us on a journey to prepare the faithful and warn the faithless. It features an intense driving beat, synth hooks and insane guitar solos that will definitely get you moving in the morning.
