CEMETERY GATES â founded in 2018 by songwriting duo Guitarist Mattias Fabricius and Vocalist Anton Sabah Ryberg. With a penchant for the 70âs, 80âs and 90âs metal scene with bands such as Black Sabbath, Danzig, Type O Negative, Amorphis, Pantera, Metallica and others, the bands sound bear the roots of retro heavy metal with a full hearted passion.
In February 2019, the bands first single release âOld Misfortune Bluesâ saw the light, soon to be followed by âTill the Endâ, âAnd What Should Not Beâ and âHotel Albatrossâ. The first full length album âThrough the Shadows of Fearâ was released in August the same year.
In 2020 they joined forces with multi-genre bass player Jens Hogsander and recorded the single âKilling Life For Yearsâ during the raging of the Corona-pandemic. The single was soon followed by the album âChernobyl (Re-Recorded)â. The album has five songs on the theme of the tragic accident in Reactor 4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant in the village of Pripyat in 1986.
