While touring together, various members of YOB, WIEGEDOOD, OATHBREAKER and AMENRA found themselves bonding over a common love of death metal bands both classic (morbid angel, suffocation, Death) and contemporary (Tomb Mold, Blood Incantation).

It is in recognition of these shared admirations as well as a mutual respect of each other’s musical chops that LIVING GATE has been founded.

Purposefully devoid of over-polished, meticulously edited sounds, Living Gate puts its emphasis upon unrelenting drums which are continuously blanketed by a vomit of menacing riffs and heaving guttural orations.
