Anubis Gate is a heavy/progressive/power metal band from Denmark. Despite having formed Anubis Gate only in 2003, the members regularly worked together since 1984. They have released five studio albums, and their most recent release is 2013's free download EP "Sheep". Their sixth album "Horizons" is due for release on April 15, 2014.
Anubis Gate concerts have always been rare. But 2012 saw the band returning to Prog Power Europe, this time as co-headliners. It also marked the departure of founding member Jesper M. Jensen, who was replaced by Michael Bodin (Third Eye). Few months later the other founding member, drummer Morten Sørensen also left the band. He is now replaced by Morten Gade Sørensen (Pyramaze, Wuthering heights).
On October 31, 2013 the new 4-piece released a free download EP called "Sheep" consisting of the original "Destined to remember" from the forthcoming 6th album, "Horizons" due for release on April 15, 2014 and two covers: The Pink Floyd classic "Sheep" and Mr. Misters "Broken wings".

The band is booked to play the Rock Harvest III festival in Baltimore, USA, October 30th 2014.
Musically, several groups like Queensrÿche, Iron Maiden, Lord Bane, Tad Morose, Iced Earth, Crimson Glory, Fates Warning, King Crimson, Genesis and Savatage were once credited by the record label Locomotive as influential sources of inspiration for Anubis Gate.
