History

The band formed in 2008 and are from Cedarville, Ohio.^[1]^[2]

In 2009, the band released their debut demo EP, Prisoner of War. None of these songs have ever been re-recorded for following albums and it is only available on YouTube and in part on the band's ReverbNation page. Drummer Ryan Connelly left shortly after its release.

In 2010, the band recorded and released their EP We Are the Ones. Since Conelly's departure, all drum parts were programmed by Cobucci. It was recorded in Engineer Tyler Smith's apartment in the back of a funeral home. After being signed to Solid State Records in September 2011, the EP was re-released on November 15 of that year, now with newly designed cover art, two bonus tracks, and a physical release exclusive to Hot Topic.

The band released their debut studio album Captors on July 3, 2012, with Solid State.^[3]^[6] For the Billboard charting week of July 21, 2012, Captors charted at No. 7 on the Billboard Christian Albums chart,^[7] and at No. 17 on the Hard Rock Albums chart.^[8]

Their next album, VxV (pronounced "five by five"), was released on June 10, 2014.^[9] The band released the song "Dust to Dust" on April 24, 2014.^[10] On May 12, 2015, the band released their third EP, Reprise, consisting of acoustic versions of songs from previous albums. The band's third album, Types & Shadows, was released on November 4, 2016.

Their fourth album, Eclipse, was announced on April 24, 2019, with a planned release date of July 26, 2019.^[11] At the same time, new band photos were released with a new member, Joey Alarcon joining in on guitars.^[12] They released its first single, "The Cure", on April 26, 2019.^[13] A second single, "A Voice in the Violence", was released on May 16, 2019.^{[citation needed]} A third single, "Drifter", was premiered via Revolver Magazine on June 13, 2019.^[12]

On September 4, 2020, the band announced their fourth EP, Dawn, consisting of acoustic versions of songs off Eclipse, would be releasing October 9, 2020.^{[citation needed]} That same day, the first single, an acoustic version of "A Voice in the Violence" was released and the second, "Counterfeit", was released on September 25, 2020.^{[citation needed]}

In March 9, 2021, it was revealed that Tim Lambesis was working on a new side project with the band's guitarist Joey Alarcon. Lambesis had previously co-produced Eclipse alongside Alarcon and Steve Cobucci.^[14] In April 16, 2021, the band released a new single, "Stop The Bleeding",^[15] which was followed by another single, "Shadows", in October 15, 2021.^[16] After three more singles, "Deadweight", "Lights & Fire", and "Peace that Starts the War", were released, Wolves at the Gate issued their album Eulogies, on March 11, 2022.^[17] On November 18, 2022, the band released a Christmas EP, Lowborn, featuring two Christmas songs the band had released a decade prior, along with three newer cuts including the title cut which had been released as a single in 2021.^[18]

On June 9, 2023, the band released a cover of "Heathens", originally by Twenty One Pilots. "We have a lot of respect for the creativity that Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun express in their music.", wrote the band on Instagram, "Something they do so well is expressing dark and somber moods in their music without sacrificing memorability and melody. The dynamics of the song left an open landscape for us to put our own fingerprint on it. As well, the lyrics carried a very relatable sentiment that could be seen and interpreted on a few different levels."^[19] They released another cover, "Attack" by Thirty Seconds to Mars, on July 7, 2023.^[20]^[21] After releasing their cover of Incubus's "Pardon Me", the band announced their covers album, Lost in Translation, which was released on September 22, 2023. The album features their covers of "Heathens" and "Attack" along with covers of Billie Eilish, Jon Bellion, Jimmy Eat World, Linkin Park, Muse, Foo Fighters and Deftones.^[22]

On April 17th, 2024, the band updated that they were in the process of making their next record, with Josh Gilbert helping.^[23]^[24]
