Biography
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.
