The year 2000 marked the beginning of a new powerful metal band from Chicago called TWELFTH GATE. With former Syris members, Scott Huffman (vocals) and Rob Such (bass), joining forces with Rich Knight (guitars) and Mike Nevaril (drums), from the former Chicago metal band Venery, TWELFTH GATE is on a mission to record and release an album that will place them among the elite of the metal genre. In a time when the American "metal" scene has been consumed with the sounds of "nu-metal", TWELFTH GATE stands out by providing a fresh and powerful sound, while still maintaining their traditional/progressive metal influences. With intense guitar work and a massive-sounding rhythm section providing a foundation for powerfully melodic vocals, TWELFTH GATE delivers a style of metal all their own. In April of 2001, the band recorded a 4-song demo with Studio One's (Racine, WI) Chris Djuricic, & already the band has witnessed quite a buzz in the underground metal scene. Within only months of debuting their demo, TWELFTH GATE has been asked to open shows for bands like Flotsam & Jetsam, Helstar (reunion tour), Steel Prophet, Reign of Terror and is quickly becoming the premier metal act in the Chicago area. By promoting themselves through playing shows and the release of their upcoming debut album (yet untitled), TWELFTH GATE plans to forever make their mark on the world of metal.
In early June 2005 the band parted ways with their label Crash Music Inc.
