After some delay and other unexpected technical problems, we finally completed the mix !
You can listen a track from the album on our myspace now. We hope you will enjoy it.
As you will hear, there is a big improvement when it comes to the sound / prod. Much more powerful, darker and fucking heavy !
The album should be out before the end of the year for sure.

Album review from VOICES FROM THE DARKSIDE webzine (Germany) :
Death Metal from France hasn’t had the best reputation the last years. Currently there are some hyper technical (and fuckin’ boring) “Death Metal” acts on the market and in the past France offered good names as MASSACRA, LOUDBLAST or AGRESSOR. That’s mostly all about it (hey Thomas, and what about MUTILATED / ABYSSALS??? - Frank). Honestly spoken, I always had the impression that the French Death Metal scene is lame. But this band here – AFFLICTION GATE – proved me wrong and made me recognize that France has at least one great band in the pipe. AFFLICTION GATE already surprised me with their promo demo last year. Now with their first CD they don't surprise, they impress me. From time to time you can recognize that several bands record their first CD too early, when talking about AFFLICTION GATE I can say that the time is just perfect. The band plays in the intersection of bands as ASPHYX, BOLT THROWER, MORGOTH and BENEDICTION and they don't even care if you compare them to those bands (and they do well about that). I can say that they already showed a huge potential embedding those influences on their promo demo and succeeded here on this recording. As the 3 demo songs are included in new recorded versions on this CD, too, you can easily compare and recognize how the sound matured. It's oldschool Death Metal these 3 French musicians (plus a couple of session musicians) offer on this CD, oldschool but not outdated and in my opinion one of the best Death Metal releases of 2009. You don’t hear killer songs as ‘The Worst Is Yet To Come’, ‘Knights Of Scorn’ (both available as appetizers on their myspace-page) or ‘Cattle Burner’ on every corner. Perhaps we at Voices From The Darkside were a little bit too early when mentioning our, the staffs’, Top Ten of 2009 already in beginning of December as this CD surely deserves to be mentioned in at least the top of my list. Besides the awesome music I have to mention the fantastic vocals of their vocalist Herostratos. You don't hear such a great, clear and especially incisive voice that often. The band took the opportunity to commit ACHERON's very own Vincent Crowley to do some additional vocals on the opening track, though I have to say that this, besides the name-dropping, was not necessary simply because the vocals itself are already outstanding enough to convince. Well, to keep a long story short: AFFLICTION GATE's debut album is a killer record and from my point of view one of the best debut albums of a band since a long time and one of the best oldschool Death Metal albums of the ending year 2009. Now let's hope that the next killer is going to be BOMBS OF HADES upcoming debut album. Check out www.myspace.com/afflictiongate and www.metal-inquisition.de.

[quote="GriefAG"]We have entered the studio for the recording of our debut album "Aeon of Nox [from darkness comes liberation]" from August the 13th to the 19th. We recorded all instrumental and vocals parts during this full week, then, additonal days are booked for mix and mastering. The master should be ready on early September and the album will be out in November through METAL INQUISITION which is the brand new division of NO COLOURS Records for their Thrash and Death Metal releases http://metal-inquisition.de
well, it's not hard to presume that no colours and metal inquisition are linked since all MI bands were previously signed to NC. but it's kinda strange that I haven't seen any information about this partnership (in CN website there is no link to MI or any information about it, they got differente adresses, etc)
do any of you guys know if there is an offcial statement from any of the above mentioned companies concerning to the foundation of this subdivision of no colors |

Well, there was no official statement or so spread by Steffen, as far as I know, but it's an obvious fact and I guess there is no real need for one in the end.
