Sacred Gate – When Eternity Ends (2012)

Among tons of bands having the ‘sacred’ word in their name, Germany’s SACRED GATE release their first full-length after 2011’s“Creators Of The Downfall” EP. They are a quintet by now and their deal with Italian Metal On Metal label gives them the chance to have their name and work heard in a wider audience.

The album itself is in the vein of lots of this label’s releases. We’re talking about a Heavy/Power Metal album with enough references to the glorious 80s and a spirit of revival of the epic/powerful years of US and European Metal that ruled the world two decades ago. Galloping rhythms, twin leads and a nice sense of melody are the basic ingredients in this album with only the singer being the weak link when he tries to reach ultra high notes, else he fits like a glove to the songs’ needs.

The performance of the band is not 100% professional but I like it this way since it shows a neat spirit of playing Metal music from the heart. Bad thing though is that among the many releases in this genre it is not that easy for SACRED GATE to offer selling point for their own work. What can I say more? Fans of the legacy of MANOWAR, RUNNING WILD, DIO and IRON MAIDEN or devotees of other contemporary bands like ASKA and METAL LAW should give this CD a chance. You may find something beautiful lurking in.
