Shepherd's Gate

Makers of Fine Heavy Metal

About Me

The origins of this 4 piece band can be found in Santa Clara, California where in 2000, a high school friend organized a few jam sessions. Four years and several lineup changes later, Shepherd's Gate has established themselves as one of the premiere up-and-coming metal acts of the Bay Area. Coming from diverse musical backgrounds, Chris Eldridge (drums, percussion), Adrian Abrego (Bass), Larry Hoang (guitar, vocals) and Mike Fenton (guitar, vocals) meld together to produce a sound truly their own. They draw from the intensity of old school thrash, the dynamics of progressive rock, and the groove of a drunken funk band to create a style of metal different from those that inhabit the scene today. Eerie harmonizations, addictive rhythms, searing leads, bone-jarring time changes, and straight up mind boggling drumming, combined with frank social commentary characterize their songs. With each adrenaline pumping performance, more fans join the angry herd; for they learn that things don't always have to be the way they've always been. When you need a change in your musical life - Shepherd's Gate. This band is not affiliated with any religious or non-profit organizations or groups.»-(¯`v´¯)-» Design your MySpace with MyLook «-(¯`v´¯)-«
