Gates
...of The River Styx
On the album '...Of The River Styx' The Gates continue to develop their unique Magick Metal style, incorporating more noticable nods to '80s synthesizer/disco music and gothic/death rock. While the influence of the controversial originators of Magick Metal, Black Magick SS, is still noticable, The Gates easily manage to distinguish their album in terms of music, concept and visuals, and prove that they, too, have the potential to enlighten the suffering collective human consciousness through the cosmic brilliance that was given to the world in the form of Magick Metal.
