Anubis Gate was founded in 2001 by Jesper M. Jensen and Morten Sørensen under the name Seven Powers. A demo CD of instrumentals was made, but it wasn’t until 2003 when they found vocalist Torben Askholm that things really started to take shape. At first the idea was to record a demo based on some of the Seven Powers tracks, in order to get a record contract. Music was mainly written by Jesper. Lyrics and vocal melodies were then added by Torben and Henrik Fevre, and later in the studio lead guitars/keyboards were added by Kim Olesen. Both side men were old friends that had played with both Morten and Jesper in different bands in the 80’s. As soon as the demo was finished it was sent to Danish management Intromental, who quickly secured the trio a record deal with Spanish label Locomotive Music, now under the name Anubis Gate. So what started as a demo ended up being the debut album
