Mausoleum Gate
Metal And The Might
In October 2014 the release of MAUSOLEUM GATE self-titled debut album caught the world of Heavy Metal by surprise. Out of nowhere Mausoleum Gate were able to get such a genuine, unexpected attention, considering they do not play your average kind of metal. With an unusual offering which incorporates elements of late 70s proto-metal and a genuine, breathtaking affiliation to the spirit of the NWOBHM, MAUSOLEUM GATE has soon raised to the status of "cult-band", a condition which brought them to play prestigious German Keep It True festival in 2015. "Metal and the Might" is their new release, two new songs to please all their fans and keep the flame alive. Reflecting once more the eccentricity uniqueness of these Finnish guys, the title track is a straight in your face metal offer, as was "Mercenaries of Steel" on their debut album. B side is occupied for over 6-minute by the fantastic "Demon Soul", echoing more of their progressive quintessence. Mausoleum Gate was formed in 2008 by Count L.F. (gt) and Wicked Ischanius (bs) and two years after recorded their debut EP "Gateways For The Wicked". In the spring of 2013 the band released "Obsessed By Metal" 7''and reached a deal with Cruz Del Sur Music to release their self-titled debut album in October 2014. The band has recently hired the services of new bass-player Nino Karjalainen (not playing on the 7 though) while Mr Ischianus has moved to keyboards full time.
