Gaate was founded by the Sundli siblings, Sveinung and Gunnhild, in 1999. Their unique combination of traditional Norwegian folk music and explosive progressive rock soon took them from a basement rehearsal room to many of the biggest stages in Scandinavia. The sibling’s profound passion for traditional Norwegian folk music has always been the base of Gaate’s sound and vision, and they continue to create vibrant new music on a foundation of traditional material. At the same time they have an urge to create and compose original songs, and they are producing new material which is allowing them to explore their sound and vision differently but still with roots in the traditional.

Gaate is a band from Trøndelag, Norway, playing Norwegian folk music bred with metal, electronica, sometimes called progressive folk-rock. While some songs are original, many come from traditional Norwegian folk songs. Some songs are based on the poems of the Norwegian poet Astrid Krogh Halse. These include "Følgje" ("Companion") and "Stengd Dør" ("Closed Door"). The music consists of guitars, violins, synthesizers/keyboards, drums, and the distinctive voice of Gunnhild Sundli.
