AFFLICTION GATE news - old school Death Metal (fra)

www.myspace.com/afflictiongate

Influenced by the Death Metal scene from end of 80's - early 90's (ASPHYX, GRAVE, UNLEASHED, MASSACRE, MANTAS / DEATH, BENEDICTION, BOLT THROWER etc...), we are now working on our debut EP / MCD.

For the moment, we uploaded the very first versions of the songs that will appear on this release.
In spite of the ugly rehearsal sound and the fact that the songs are here in their most primitive (without soli) and obviously "non definitive" incarnation, we hope that they will help to give you an idea about how our music sound in the whole.

Debut EP is now recorded and mixed, featuring 3 tracks with intros and outro.

You can already listen to the studio version of the song "inner demise" on our page.

Labels, zines (printed or web), radios : get in touch to receive an advance recording / promo CDR.

Hello

Will you trade the demo when it's ready?

Will it be tape, CDr or something else?

G

Yes, of course, we can trade. However, we are looking for a label to release this EP at the moment. I keep you informed as soon as possible.

By the way, if you want to review our stuff for your NH zine, I can already send you a promo CDR version.

Ok pour le trade

Par contre les promos ça devient dur à gérer...

Ok, comme tu veux pour le promo CDR. En tout cas, n'hésite pas à me le demander quand tu auras le temps et la possibilité de nous faire une review.

We have finally decided to put the full 3 songs of our EP/MCD available on our myspace page until we find a label to release it. Enjoy !

Reviews and feedbacks on our (promo) EP can be read on our myspace's blog.

Until now, we only got great positive words about our stuff so, that's really encouraging and cool.
Seems like people didn't expect such kind of Death Metal from a French band in the present underground scene !

Beside, we are about to sign a deal with a German label to release our 3 songs on MCD format. Confirmation will be announced as soon as it's done.

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.

First interview on Internet can be found in the EXTREMINAL webzine from Turkey : http://www.extreminal.com/extreminal/en/roportaj.asp?id=187

Thanks to Miguel and Cenk for the support !

The MCD is now available !!! http://forgottenwisdom.free.fr/catalog/

Extra special thanks to Mr Azmoth who could allow us to release this EP/MCD in such a fast way !

We will get our copies in the coming days so you can also get it directly from us/the band but only for some individual order or trade. Just write to : afflictiongate@aol.com

Honnétement je me demande si c'est une bonne chose,
car vu le nombre de daubes sorties par No colours...

No Colours est un label avec un bon réseau de distro qui touche aussi bien l'Underground que des distros + "commerciales". Même si il reste un label surtout ciblé BM, il s'oriente de + en + vers le DM et il a signé pas mal de groupes de Death ces dernieres années comme INTESTINE BAALISM (jap) et SINNERS BURN (swe). Il avait aussi sorti la réédition du SORCERY (swe) il y a longtemps. Je pense que c'est un label approprié pour AG et on espere qu'il va pouvoir nous aider à promouvoir davantage notre groupe.

Ils ont peut être sorti du death dernièrement,
mais il ont tellement fait dans le black minimaliste que je les zappe automatiquement, comme plusieurs autres labels...

Mais peut être qu'ils ont les moyens promotionnels, comme ils semblent avoir le cash d'envoyer les promos par paquets...
Enfin, dans tous les cas c'est mieux que rien

We enter the studio for the recording of our debut album "Aeon of Nox [from darkness comes liberation]" next thursday. We will record all instrumental and vocals parts during one full week. Then, we will get additonal days for mix and mastering. The master should be in our hands on early September and the album will be out in November.

We are extremely honoured to announce the participation of Vincent Crowley from the mighty US Death / Black Metal veterans ACHERON as guest on our debut album "Aeon of Nox [from darkness comes liberation]".
His vocals contribution will appear on the opening track titled "after the red moon".

Well, the first time we listened to the "rites of the black mass" album over 15 years ago, we couldn't imagine that we will be able to collaborate with its leading force one day on a musical project !

Unholy praises to you, Vincent !

Great to hear that mate!!!

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.
