Recommendation: Gates of Ishtar

[swizzlenuts]

I know people here are big fans of the early Melodeath, like Dark Tranquility, Eucharist, Early At the Gates, etc. I found this one a while back, and I think it's pretty fucking solid for early Melodeath goes. I quite dig A Bloodred Path, but I haven't really heard much else. All hail the tremolo picked melodic riffs!


A Bloodred Path



Where The Winds Of Darkness Blow



The Silence

10-15 years ago, Gates of Ishtar t-shirts could be bought at any market stall in Sweden for some reason.

Been listening to this album once a year for 15 years. Always a great time.

I always took these guys as a run of the mill black metal act by name alone. This is some killer tasteful melodeath. Hails bruh.
