Born of the Chicago metal scene, TWELFTH GATE is determined to solidify their place among the underground metal elite by recording and releasing albums that continue to pummel the listener with their brand of metal. Armed with crippling riffs, intense guitar work, a crushing rhythm section, and powerful vocals molded together to generate songs stocked full of the band’s trademark progressive and thrash elements, TWELFTH GATE is ready to take on every last corner of the metal world. …. Since the release of their highly praised debut, “Summoning” (released on Crash Music 2003), the band has been busy writing and growing as a force to be reckoned with. Now, with the addition of ex-Oppressor guitarist Jim Stopper, bringing his technical death metal riff mastery to the table, the band has really stepped it up more than a few notches, and has produced an incredible follow-up that promises to deliver darker, heavier, more apocalyptic songs, and once again proving that TWELFTH GATE’s music is both organic and infectious. …. Look out for their latest offering, “….Threshold of Revelation”…., in stores now via Season of Mist Records!!
