The Seven
Gates saw the light of day in the middle of year 2005, born from the ashes of
outstanding underground acts such as Daemonium/Akhenaton or Mutilated, whose
respective leaders Vincent Urbain (Vocals and bass) and Michel Dumas (Guitar)
joined forces in order20to bring forth a new form of sonic mayhem to this dying
world. Another guitarist and a drummer completed the formation.
2006, the
band started to play its firsts shows, and due to the huge response, the need
was felt to quickly release a demo ("All Is In All") which gained
massive attention from an evergrowing amount of fans.
2007, a four-tracks CD was released
("Gehenna's Sword").
Vincent's impressing vocals and pounding bass
playing and Michel's relentless riffing and frenzied soloing helped the band
reach the "french death metal hope of the year" status in several
magazines' columns.
The Seven Gates then moved forward a new
step, sharing the stage with bands like Blazing War Machine, Offending,
Hypnosis, Knocked Dawn, Pittbulls in the Nursery, Destinity, God Damn, Killers,
Sublime C adaveric Decomposition,... during a 30 dates french tour from which
was taken the first live video of the band, "Live Suffering".
2008, Later
on the same year, the band did integrate Adrien Madrignac as the second
guitarist, who brought in his in credible skill and added even more aggression
and hate to the band's sound! Again a 15 dates French tour and a qualification
for regional final of a “Hellfest contest “ (Sin-session).
In May 2008, release of the limited edition
DVD (“Suffering Live”) and Official Video live-clip (“The Serpent’s Wheel)
In August of 2008, The Seven Gates entered
the studio to record their first album.
Masterized
in December by Jean-Pierre Bouquet ("L’autre studio"). Also the
official video clip (“Angel of Suffering”) is released.
Then, a deal with New-York's Heavy Artillery
Records was signed and now the future is yet to be writte n.
The Seven Gates are preparing to hit stages
all across Europe in order to promote their debut album, namely "Angel Of
Suffering", whose release is scheduled for May 2009 for USA and June for Europe.
A war is
on.......!
