The Benjamin Gate is so unique that they cannot be fit into a genre.
The opening bands didn't interest me (the first one was talented but desperately needed a soundman — the second one, Believe, had a lot of good music but the lead singer's vocal style was 80's glam, so I didn't like them much) but the Benjamin Gate was AWESOME.
Another testimony to the passion of the Benjamin Gate — they had done a show the day before and then driven all night, to arrive just before they were set to play at 11:00 am.

 Titled, but seemingly Unfinished - Contact - The Benjamin Gate - Epinions.com
I was so intrigued by what I had read about The Benjamin Gate, in fact, that I picked up their debut on the strength of sound clips alone (this was during a brief hiatus from downloading music online, as Napster was in crisis at the time and I hadn’t yet discovered AudioGalaxy).
Though it might be considered a mistake for the band to place two mid-tempo tunes back-to-back in the front half of the album, both of them have a definite overflow of energy, and this one’s got a massive, space-age guitar riff guaranteed to lodge in your brain.
Some critics may still deride the band for not being altogether original (they owe a lot to the popularity of Plumb and Garbage, and also U2’s experimentation with electronic rock in the 90’s), but they’re good at what they do, and their sound is just tasty for modern rock aficionados like myself.

Soon after this show the band is joined by guitarist Stefan Keller, whose riff ideas further enrich the creative output of the young group.
After the release of their debut CD, the band is confronted with a lot of interviews, booking inquiries and media interest for the first time, transforming the initially planned side project into the serious, up-and-coming German death metalcore act it is today.
After a few weekend shows, the band is finally able to fulfill its second biggest aspiration besides a recording contract, their first big European tour supporting huge names in the scene.
