Gates to Purgatory' is the debut studio album by German heavy metal band Running Wild, released in 1984. It predates their piracy themes and has mostly satanically-influenced lyrics but also features songs with anarchic and libertarian (in the sense of European libertarianism) themes. It was in part of Gerald 'Preacher' Warnecke's studies in theology. He left the band soon after the album's release to become a priest.
