The Benjamin Gate was a South African Christian rock band formed in 1998 by friends of musician Ben Herbert following his death in a traffic collision.
The Benjamin Gate released two local, independent albums while in South Africa, Spinning Head and comeputyourheadupinmyheart.
The band, along with their manager and co-songwriter Marc "Thux" Theodosiou, left Port Elizabeth and came to the United States in 2001[3] after David Bach at ForeFront Records heard their demo that they had sent to Nashville for mastering.
The group parted ways in 2003 due to lead singer Adrienne Liesching's engagement to Christian artist Jeremy Camp.
It was noted that Liesching felt that with her new family starting, that she could not handle the duties required of her both as a musician and as a wife.
