Emergency Gate is a Modern Melodic-Death/Metalcore Band from Munich. The band was founded somewhere during 1996, but the only member remaining from the original line-up is bass-player and manager Mario Lochert. As a name the band had picked "Emergency Gate" because of the free advertisement by emergency gate signs everywhere.
Their debut album "Nightly Ray" (2006, TNC/Universal) differs a lot from the the following records, which was mostly caused by songwriter, singer and guitar player Fabian Kießling, who left the band in 2008. On January 23rd 2009 the band released the album "Rewake" (Silverwolf Productions) featuring their new singer Matthias Kupka. Also starting on that day the "Chaos over Europe 2009" tour took place, at which Emergency Gate played together with Kreator, Caliban and Eluveite for two months.
After the summer festivals the band went right back to the studio to record the album "The Nemesis Construct", which was released on April 30th 2010 (through Twilight Records) had some attention.
Their latest creation that has been released through ZYX can best be described as collaboration between In Flames and As I Lay Dying. It’s very accessible even if you don't like this genre, but it lacks a bit of originality in my eyes. The songs sound good but i have the feeling i heard them before. But still an impressive record.
