We are proud to announce that our debut EP "severance [dead to this world]" will be released on CD format through FORGOTTEN WISDOM Prod (France) finally. The masters will be sent this week and it's planned to be out for late December. It's a real pleasure to deal with Thomas / Azmoth as we are in touch for several years now and his dedication to the underground scene simply proves that we can't go wrong with him, anyway. _________________ https://www.facebook.com/afflictiongate |

Yes, I contacted IBEX MOON but they are not signing bands at the moment. However, it seems that they enjoyed the songs on the myspace and that they could be interested to deal with us in the future. It would be cool ! I plan to send them a copy of the EP/CD when it's out, anyway. _________________ https://www.facebook.com/afflictiongate |

Killer review from VOICES FROM THE DARKSIDE webzine (Germany) :
'This is great music, great oldschool Death Metal. When using the oldschool term these days it is usually meant that a band draws their influences from Swedish bands (not necessarily... there's a lot of bands playing oldschool Death Metal that - for example - are rooted in the US style as well - Frank). Although the bands cited as AFFLICTION GATE..s root inspiration are mostly from that part of the European scene it is very clear that we have something special here. This is oldschool in feeling, not in emulation. Oldschool meaning here that AFFLICTION GATE are mostly concerned to create music that is true to the spirit of Death Metal. Music is somewhat similar to old BENEDICTION and MASSACRA, and the vocals, in their directness, remind me of old SEPULTURA or some other South American band. But with something this good comparisons are not needed since they could only confuse matters – it should be heard. The production work is well made for this kind of record – not too muddy, not too clear, with lots of space, and the feeling you get when listening is out of a specific time. The songs have a varied tempo and are very well executed. The vocals are very powerful but are not usually deep grunted. They are more direct and human, carrying strong sense of despair and hardness. When I say despair I mean that feeling of rawness in soul that is in my opinion best suited to find outlet in Death Metal. And with this we come to the main part – this is SOUL music not FUN music. This is like Death Metal from the times when bands wanted to communicate their vision with their fans. I can wholeheartedly recommed this mini CD to all fans of oldschool Death Metal that want something else than the usual Swedish sound. I sincerely belive this is only a herald of good things to come' _________________ https://www.facebook.com/afflictiongate |

I got it last Friday and I really like it. This is old Death-Metal, with this speed edge one can find in MASSACRA, yes, but the songs are solid and there are some killer parts (like on "Inner Demise" after 2'30''). _________________

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
By the way, we are extremely honoured to announce the participation of Vincent Crowley from the mighty US Death / Black Metal veterans ACHERON as guest. His vocals contribution will appear on the opening track titled "after the red moon". _________________ https://www.facebook.com/afflictiongate |
