Where do these
killer power metal bands keep coming from? Sacred Gate is a hidden gem. I’m
listening to this and thinking about just driving somewhere far away in the
summer night, windows down, this cd cranked to my speakers breaking point.
Sounds like summer metal to me. You know the band that you associate with your
summer festivities.
Awesome guitar
lines. Pure power here. Good solid driving riffs. Songs are chugging along at
breakneck speed. This is not the typical metal act though. Some of these guitar
runs are insane! Early Lizzy Borden…that’s the sound that I hear within these
songs. Awesome.
“Burning Wings”
is hands down one of my favorites. Power metal with some thought behind it.
They crafted a real sonic assault here and it works.
“The realm Of Hell”….Holy crap are you kidding me. This is a
wrecking machine of guitar musicianship. I love this tune. Epic in its form yet
not too overdone. This album is getting better and better…and louder.
“When eternity Ends”, “Freedom or Death” are two more
standouts. Solid drum and bass. Behind every song on this album is a crunchy
lock-tite rhythm section that kicks ass. And the vocals are fiery and powerful.
This dude has a set of pipes on him that are earthshattering yet commercially
viable.
“Vengeance”….wow…just a great song
O.K. Stop reading
this and buy this album. Then jump in your car and ride. Metal is meant for the
road. Play this loud and proud!!!!!!!!
7 out of 10 horns up!!!
