The reviews for the new album are coming in. So far they are really good. Head over to the review section and take a look.
We’ve got a new album out shortly. Our 5th album titled simply ANUBIS GATE. 10 fantastic tracks.
The new album, is the most beautiful
album the band has yet emerged with. The songwriting, which has
always been the core of the ”Anubis Gate sound”, stands stronger
than ever. This time emphasized by the fact that Henrik Fevre, who
was largely responsible for writing the vocals on the previous
albums, gets to sing the songs he wrote himself, injecting the
emotion and meaning into the lyrics that he had in mind when writing
them. Once again produced by Kim Olesen and Jacob Hansen and with a
stunningly great mix done by the latter, this album brims with the
twin guitar attack of Jesper M Jensen and Kim Olesens guitars, the
rich emotion of Henrik Fevres voice, the rich soundscapes of Kim
Olesens keyboard work and the dream rhythm section of Morten
Sørensens drumming and Henrik Fevres bassplaying. Anubis Gate isn't
an album that's about endless keyboard/guitar unison soloing. It's
all about the songs. From the classic Anubis Gate opener “Hold Back
Tomorrow” to the melancholic, but very crunchy, “The Re-formation
show. From the fast aggressive “Desiderio Omnibus” to the epic
“World In A Dome”. From the surprising “Oh My Precious Life” to the
atmospheric “River” this album displays Anubis Gate at the top of
their game while in no way rehashing the last two albums. Quite to
the contrary this albums sees the band taking new turns whilst
retaining the core of all the albums that came before.

Anubis Gate changes both singer and record-label. The press release from Nightmare Records is here:
Denmark's Anubis Gate has inked a deal with Nightmare Records. The band has also parted ways with singer Jacob Hansen replaced him with Henrik Fevre.
Commented the group: "Nightmare Records is a label that we have had our eyes on for some time, but due to contractual obligations with our old label we haven't been able to join them before now. Needless to say, we are very excited about signing with Nightmare who we feel is the perfect home for our music. With a record label that really loves music (and those are few and far in-between) the future for Anubis Gate looks brighter than ever."
On the topic of the singer switch, Anubis Gate said, "With Jacob's ever-more-demanding schedule as a first-class producer, Jacob found it hard to have the time and keep his heart in the band. We fully respect his decision and reasons to leave and want to thank Jacob for being with us for an amazing couple of albums. We are still very good friends and Jacob is still involved in shaping the new album in his capacity as the best producer in metal. We wish Jacob nothing but the best in his future career. Anubis Gate has always been blessed with great singers. The decision to have Henrik take over vocal duties is a natural one for us. Henrik is the one that for a big part shaped the vocal melodies and lyrics of Anubis Gate and when Torben had to bow out of the gigs we did in support of A Perfect Forever it was Henrik who sang those gigs. Henrik has also had several songs on our albums where he performed lead vocals. Most notably "Take Me Home" on the Andromeda Unchained album. So we knew beforehand it would work out great, which it certainly has."
President and founder of Nightmare Records Lance King had the following to say about working with Anubis Gate: "Being friends with Jacob Hansen because of our work together with Pyramaze and many other bands he's produced that are signed with Nightmare, my introduction to Anubis Gate was with him on vocals. I really enjoyed their sound and have been looking forward to working with the band for quite some time. I was concerned when Kim let me know Jacob wasn't moving forward with the band. However, I'm extremely impressed with the vocals of Henrik Fevre on the rough mixes, he has a unique sense of melody and powerful and talented voice and is the perfect choice for the band in replacing the gifted vocals of Jacob."
August 2010
We have started the recordings of the new album!
A couple of months ago, Morten was in the studio to track all the drum tracks for what is to become Anubis Gate’s 5th album. Kim has been working together with Jesper on the guitar parts, and Henrik has been busy tracking bass and writing lyrics!
We’re of course already very thrilled of what we heard when Morten played to the demo tracked guitars, keys and vocals. It has a somewhat darker feel to it than its predecessor...
During the winter, the final keyboards and vocals will be put on, and we’re aiming for mixing the lot early 2011.

Yes, we know. It's been almost a year since the last update of this site. These days, we use Myspace.com/anubisgate a lot more, I'm afraid.
We are working on an update of this site, but everyone's gotta be patient. Especially us, the band, who thinks this is being ridiculous! :)
Anyway, please visit our Myspace page for current updates, new songs, pictures and the likes.
I hope - and speak for the whole band - you will all enjoy the new album as much as we do!

First, we apologize that this site hasn't been updated for a while. This will hopefully be changed ASAP. Recordings for the new album has begun! The new and 4th album in the Anubis Gate history is being recorded as this is written... STUDIO REPORT HERE!
Anubis Gate cancelled at ProgPower Scandinavia! The reasons to this is that Anubis Gate is no longer under the management - Intromental - that has been representing the band since the start. And as Intromental was one of the main promoters of this festival, they didn't want a band performing that was no longer under their roster.
February 01 2008
