Anubis Gate
Andromeda Unchained
Review by Greg Olma
Locomotive seems to be the home for many quality metal bands and Anubis Gate is no different. This is my first taste of the band and I must say that I am really impressed. They have all the right ingredients and they mix them into catchy, interesting songs. Jacob Hansen has a great set of pipes and he sings with the power and range of James LaBrie. Jesper Jensen is truly a find because he can riff with the best of them but he has the sense of melody that makes his solos memorable and catchy. He should be the inspiration for the next breed of guitar player. Morten Sorensen and Kim Olesen are as solid a rhythm section as it get giving the rest of the band a nice basis to lay their parts over. All the tracks on Andromeda Unchained are solid with quite a few standing above the pack. Now that I know what these guys are all about, I will have to search out their other 2 releases; Purification and A Perfect Forever.
