You can try to classify Gate, but you'd be hard-pressed. Sure, they're considered one of the top bands in Edmonton's dynamic metal scene, but they're also one of the most creative and adventurous groups in the city. Formed in February 2001, Gate is made up of five incredible musicians, each capable of being the nucleus of their own group. But as Gate, they form a tight bond and create a relationship beyond the music.
In their early shows, Gate's impressive musicianship and soaring vocals astonished audiences expecting the same old metal sound. Original members Teresa, Jarred and Chris built their fan base one person at a time, but every new fan became a disciple and spread the word. Performances became shared experiences and quickly, Gate moved from opening act to headliner at many of Edmonton's top clubs, including the Rev, Likwid Lounge, Red's and Stars. Now with new members Sheldon (formerly of Cypher) and Terry (formerly of Defeat/the Farkus Affair), both devotees of the music, Gate has ascended to a higher state of existence. The band has transformed into a flexible and multilayered being with the vitality and capacity to transcend even higher levels of musical expression.
In May 2002, Gate released their first disc, Lost. Thirty-five minutes long, but with only five songs, each track is a exploration of new territory, subtle and strange, soaring and syncopated. Within three months of its release, the band has already moved on to a second run of discs and is now developing new material for a follow-up album
Whether you discover Gate on disc or at a live show, you'll realize that this isn't just music, it's a journey of discovery, of time, of life, ofContact
