Gatekeeper - Prophecy & Judgement

[Element_man]

Hey folks, my band Gatekeeper just finished recording our debut EP. We play epic heavy metal. Fans of Solstice, Atlantean Kodex, Doomsword, Manilla Road, Bathory and Isen Torr will know the drill. The EP has four songs on it, and the CD is being released by Aforja (Portugal) and we will have vinyl lined up soon. The EP will be mixed over the next few weeks, then it's being sent to Rosenquarz (Germany) for mastering, where the folks behind the boards for Isen Torr, Solstice, Lamp of Thoth, Pagan Altar, Warning, etc etc will put the finishing touches for us.

We're very excited and hopefully this bad boy will see the light of day before the end of the year, so please check out our teaser and follow us if you're into our shit.

Some good elements there indeed.
I really like the vocalist.
Definite heavy Solstice influence for sure.

Keep us updated.

I smell Ragnarokkr 2014 on your horizon.

 

[Diabolik]

I would give them second stage in a heartbeat if they wanted it.

 

[Jasonic]

Do it!!!!!!!!!!

 

[nomisofsiman]

I'm digging.

 

[modernwizardry]

Sounds good!

 

[Element_man]

Thanks so much for the kind comments everyone. I dunno if 2nd stage for 2013 is gonna work out for us, half my band is broke due to school expenses. We'd love to get out of town though!

Here's a full song!

 

[SteelFireRecs]

Big fan here. Let the dudes in Olórin know if you guys are still interested in doing that split.

 

[Element_man]

Cheers, Yoda. You know we are. Might take a little while though, my other band is taking up my entire spring season. After that we'll have more time to get back to business and track some more tunes.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

That's fine lol. It gives us time to write something special instead of digging out one of our old songs.
