About Me


Quick Bio:
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 next offering, "Threshold of Revelation", in stores now via Season of Mist Records!!
Update:
Shortly after the release of their new album, original singer Scott Huffman decided to leave the band…both for creative differences & reasons outside the band. After almost a year of searching & working with vocalists that could not fit the complete dynamic of the band & their music, Twelfth Gate has finally found a singer that fits the band better than ever. Not only can he sing the old songs flawlessly, but he also brings a new approach with incorporating heavy vocals as well that will bring the band to a whole new level! However, the band has chosen to not make any official announcements regarding the vocalist position until the new album is done, but rest assured…the band is currently working on new music & should hopefully have a new offering in early 2008.
Twelfth Gate would also like to officially welcome new drummer Dan Kapusta, who was brought into the fold during the latter part of 2005 to replace previous drummer, Mike Nevaril.
