Can it be true? Has the non-core Gothenburg style survived? In a small town called Luleå, a band is still alive, bringing on the classics. At The Gates, Gates Of Ishtar are here still not forgotten and Dimension Zero not unknown. That’s so wonderful. Powerful, wild and with a good punch, produced by Daniel Bergstrand (dr. In Flames), these 9 songs are thundering out of the speakers and directly get stuck into my ears. Just take the godlike Paradises Into Deserts, damn axe. Up there these gents know how to write good riffs. Typically for this kind of music: every now and then a melody is dropped between the verses and make the album interesting also for fans of more progressive music. Adding the variable voice of Kai Jaakola makes the result almost perfect. The trinity of leadership will not be cracked by the guys from Northern Sweden, but they are definitely getting closer and closer. Taking just the actual releases into account, I can see the throne of Anders Frieden already in flames (ha, ha). This is at least the old school, with fewer compromises to the new age. So, but this must be enough. Go ahead and listen to the CD!
