I will try to post news also about our other 3 new CD releases that will be actually out tomorrow as soon as I get the chance to use internet this evening. Here are the other 3 new CDs we'll have at the KEEP IT TRUE festival at our stand (except for the available back catalogue of course):
- SKELATOR "Agents Of Power"
- MORTALICUM "The Endtime Prophecy"
- V.A. "Compendium Of Metal Vol. 5"
First the news about signing and their new album...
Last year we were contacted by SACRED GATE, a traditional Heavy Metal band from Germany, formed in 2008. The skills they presented on the album, which they were shopping around, were so impressive that we did not have to think twice.
Not surprisingly, they are not really newcomers. Last year they self-released an EP, “Creators Of The Downfall”, which gained very positive reviews, but most of all, the band’s founding members, guitarist and composer Nicko Nikolaidis and vocalist Jim Over (both of Greek origin), have mastered their craft in other bands prior to SACRED GATE. They both played together in MADE OF IRON, which was originally an IRON MAIDEN cover band before starting to write their own songs and releasing a couple of demos, EP and a full-length. And the British giants still have the biggest influence on SACRED GATE’s music, which is rooted in NWOBHM, but also has some ’80s US Power Metal elements. We are happy to welcome to our family such a talented band that proves that classic Metal never rusts!
Find out more about the band, watch some promo and live photos, and check the links to their pages from the SACRED GATE page on our new website.
The debut full-length CD of SACRED GATE "When Eternity Ends" will be available since April 27th (Keep It True festival).
You can listen to 3 songs from “When Eternity Ends”: “Burning Wings”, “The Realm Of Hell” and “Vengeance” from the player on the SACRED GATE page.
And check out this short promo clip we’ve prepared for the album on our YouTube channel:
