Gideon is a metalcore band from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, established in 2008. Given their Christian roots, it is possible that the band is named after the eponymous Biblical figure. The band has released four studio albums—Costs from 2011, Milestone from 2012, Calloused from 2014, Cold—with a fifth released in October, 2019, named Out of Control.

While the band started out as an outlet for their Christian faith, the band announced in a 2019 interview with Kerrang! that they’ve put that way of life behind them. The album Out of Control celebrates their new-found liberation and living life without constraints.
