TWELFTH GATE News

Hey guys!
Here's a quick update about the band:

TWELFTH GATE IN TOP 3 ON HARDRADIO'S HEAVY 11 LIST!!!
*****************************************************
http://www.hardradio.com/framemusic.html
We're quite excited to announce that Twelfth Gate has been in the Top 3 on HardRadio.com's Heavy 11 list for the last couple weeks now, right behind Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society, and have also been in the Top 5 for over a month. Not exactly sure how this happened, but we must be doing something right.


"SUMMONING" CD FINALLY RELEASED IN EUROPE!!!
********************************************
Although the original release date for Europe was April 14th, due to some unforeseen issues that resulted in our record label (no fault of theirs) having to change distribution companies in Europe, our "Summoning" CD has now officially seen the light of day over there as of the end of June.

We'd like to apologize to all our European fans who had to wait so long. Hopefully, it's worth the wait.


NEW TWELFTH GATE LIVE PICS POSTED!!!
************************************
Check out some new live pics of us performing at this year's Classic Metal Fest at Oasis 160 in Chicago Heights, IL on June 28th.

Also, we'd like to express our thanks to Jim Stopper (ex-Oppressor) for helping us out on guitar for that show. With only a few weeks notice, Jim stepped up & did a kick ass job. We look forward to many more shows with him in the future.

If you missed Jim at CMF, come see him tear up the stage with us at either of our upcoming shows (details below).


And most importantantly (if you live in the Chicago area)...

cd out in europe...gotta take a look

 

[Will Bozarth]

awesome to hear the news, now get over here to NJ

 

[ZANEX]

Just listened to the song "Orpheus". Pretty fucking good. It sounded to me as though it was a mix of "FATES WARNING meets QUEENSRYCHE meets IRON MAIDEN meets LETHAL." (When I say this, this is the influences I hear. Also, it doesn't blatantly rip any of the afore mentioned bands off) Loved the arrangement and guitar melodies. Good Luck. Let us now when the album is released in the States and on what label.

 

[Doctor X]

It is already out on Crash. I got it from the labels site for $10. It is a damn good album...

 

[ZANEX]

Thanks for the info Doctor X. By the way, your not a Queensryche fan are you?? (Ha, Ha, I'm being sarcastic).
