Crystal Gates is a Latvia-based symphonic power metal band formed in Montevideo, Uruguay in 2013 by Benjamín Machín and Carolina Pérez. After two years of writing, arranging, and recording, the duo released their first studio work, the six-song EP "A Quest For Life" in 2015. The single "Shadowborn" followed in 2017, bringing more international attention to the band, and the opportunity to play bigger shows and festivals, sharing the stage with bands like Epica, Xandria, Masterplan, Anneke Van Giersbergen's "The Gentle Storm", Blackoustic, The Agonist and Fates Warning. Now, after working hard through challenging times, the band has finished their first full-length album: "Torment & Wonder: The Ways Of The Lonely Ones", their most ambitious effort to date. "Torment & Wonder'' promises a bright future. Line up Benjamín Machín - Guitars Carolina Pérez - Vocals Guillermo Albano - Bass Gastón Lorenzo - Drums Juan José Leyton - Keyboards |
