Swan Road Sagas

Thanks to all who attended our last perform on September 14th when we opened for Striker, we had a grand old time as per usual, and Untimely Demise from Saskatchewan were simply lethal as well, killer power trio! and we would like to extend a huge amount of gratitude for Oskar Jankovic (Samandriel) for playing lead guitar that night, our usual comrade Justin wasn't available. Below you can see an assortment of photographs from our set, taken by the lovely Lindsay Grimm. Please give her page some traffic: Grimms Photography

As if that weren't enough, we also uncovered a live recording from the evening. Swan Road Saga, which will be featured on our upcoming debut EP. Until then, revel in the glory and steel.

September 14th, Striker Strikes!

Gatekeeper has accepted an opening spot at the CD release party for Edmonton's premier heavy metal act, Striker, happening at the Pawn Shop, September 14th. We hadn't planned on taking anymore shows until the EP release, but a show with Striker is not to be missed so we will be there with a few guitars, some drums and a few too many pints. Attendance is mandatory, no advance tickets from bands. We'll have a full stock of merch, including patches, shirts, buttons, stickers and demo CDs.

Also in attendance will be Untimely Demise, Saskatoon's finest cultural export in heavy metal. Much respect for these thrashing three-piecers. Check out one of my personal favorites...

We have only one guitar solo yet to be completed, plus a couple noodly acoustic passages and then the recording is a wrap.

Order, Order!

Thanks to all for coming out to the gig last night, we had a blast and it was great to see so many familiar faces out there banging their manes. Special thanks to the blokes from Striker for the heckling and the impromptu backing vocals during our Saxon cover, t'was a beautiful moment. I'd post some video footage from the show, but I'm about to go get wasted at Iron Maiden, so you bastards can sit tight!

Also, we've got a slew of merchandise available for purchase. Send an email to gatekeeper(at)live.ca if you want to order something, shipping is extra.
