about
1996 – 2002 Turin (the dark Italian capital “par excellence” of gothic art): BURNING GATES (whose leader is Michele Piccolo) write one of the most significant pages in the Italian goth scene that the country has ever known in the past years. BURNING GATES, with their three albums (“Risvegli”, “Aurora Borealis” and “Wounds”), broadly distributed throughout Europe, and a vast series of concerts in Italy, France, England, Denmark, Germany and Austria (among which we can highlight leading events like their participation in the Herbsnachte in Raben, Carnival Of Souls in Derby, a good two times in the Judgement Day in Dorbirn and in the very prestigious WGT in Leipzig) have gained one of the most important positions for the Italian goth scene than it has ever enjoyed before. Their performances, often shared with other big bands of the international gothic scene (Altered States, Faith & The Muse, Corpus Delicti, Midnight Configuration, Killing Miranda, Funhouse...) will leave a lasting mark of true and genuine gothic rock that very few bands have been able to express in the course of the last decade. March 2002 – October 2002 We must start from these dates (the first indicating Burning Gates official split up, the second announcing a rebirth), to tell the story of ORDEAL BY FIRE. In fact everything could be “simply” summarised in Michele’s (ex BG vocals/guitars) own words: “I can’t do without playing music”; these words can also be read through the lines of a few NOSTALGIA gigs
