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...Aaron Broderick. Not only can Aaron 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!
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.

Standing under the full moon sky Darkness is my only veil that covers me well The moonlight is my only light and sun As it tans me white, it leave me to remember the night Why I am here? As I hold this chalice of choice in the light of the moon. Spiritual magic is in my hand Elements of wind and fire bring to me my heart’s desire. Balance my life, and give to me The best from both worlds I see the future and the past These visions come to me slow and fast I try to remember them before they get away Was it you, who was in my sight? If so, I would like to grant you one wish on your journey out. With this Chalice of blood, I drink from it. May you have the best that I could give? I’m glad you found me… Yes, I am Witch, I am Vampire, and I am God Bloody hugs and devil horns! For those about to Rock, I salute you! Gothic Metal Vampire God Countess Evelynn Valkzak The one true Vampire Poet… V---V
