Bio
Hell Ever After is a Buffalo metal and rock opera founded by guitarist and vocalist Lawrence Duran Gomez, who has said he began writing the piece in 2018 and wanted a Broadway-musical style show for heavy-music fans. Press from the band’s Act I campaign describes an old-school mix of thrash, power, doom, hard rock, and symphonic elements built around a narrative. The group released the independent full-length Act I in October 2025, with singles and videos for “Hell Hath Come” and “Casket,” and has played Buffalo rooms including Buffalo Iron Works and Mohawk Place.
