GATES OF ISHTAR - At Dusk And Forever LP (Blue/Clear Could Splatter Vinyl)

Limited to 300 copies. Gatefold jacket, includes printed inner sleeve.

Gates of Ishtar are masters of flow and progression, their songs always feel very organic and warm, no matter the style. Their riffs were always the right combination of odd otherworldliness, harmonic waves of condolences and brightly dancing anger. The screams are as wide, raspy and excited as if their origin lies in a young humanoid tiger cyborg on a bloody revenge quest. With just enough restrained technicality to align themselves with the steps of the songs instead of just barking senselessly over them, the vocals most certainly are a pleasure to attend. They still sound sensitive and secretive despite their grandiose extrovert whipping.
