GATES OF ISHTAR Sign With The Circle Music; New Music On The Way
Formed in Luleå, Sweden, Gates Of Ishtar burst onto the scene with their seminal 1996 debut album, A Bloodred Path, which quickly cemented their place in the pantheon of melodic death metal. Two more critically acclaimed albums followed, The Dawn Of Flames (1997) and At Dusk And Forever (1998), showcasing their signature blend of razor-sharp riffs, thunderous drums, and the unmistakable growls of vocalist Mikael Sandorf. Despite their early success and promising trajectory, the band went on hiatus, leaving a void in the metal scene that their dedicated fanbase keenly felt.
After a 17-year silence, the anticipation for a reunion grew, and while a planned comeback in 2015 was sadly derailed by the passing of drummer Oscar Karlsson, Gates Of Ishtar finally resurrected in November 2023 with a powerful performance at House of Metal. The overwhelming response from fans at this show ignited the spark for new music, leading to the decision to record a new album.
The Circle Music is ecstatic to welcome Gates Of Ishtar to their roster. “If there was a list of the most underrated bands in metal, Gates Of Ishtar would hold a prominent place,” states the record label. “It’s been almost 30 years since their legendary debut ‘A Bloodred Path’ appeared, and still remains in the pantheon of melodic death metal. Life often plays strange games. One thing is certain: Gates Of Ishtar is owed a lot and they are coming back determined to claim it all, one by one. It is our great joy to be on this journey together! Stay tuned, the Gates are open again…”
Gates Of Ishtar themselves are equally enthusiastic about this new chapter. “The gates are open once more!!! We are super excited to work together with Maria and The Circle Music to bring you our new album! It will be the first new release in almost 3 decades and we have put all our hearts and souls into this beast of an album,” the band comments. “The process of writing this new material has been a joyful experience and it didn’t take more than a minute to realise that we still had that magic flow between us all in the band. We can’t wait to hear your response to it and hopefully we meet you all out there in 2026! Hail Inanna!”
Fans who have been eagerly awaiting new material will be thrilled to hear that Gates Of Ishtar’s signature sound remains potent, delivering Swedish melodic death metal at its finest.
Adding to the significance of their return, Gates Of Ishtar recently performed a devastating live show in their hometown of Luleå. This performance coincided with the 30th anniversary of their very first concert in the same location, marking a powerful full-circle moment for the band.

Если серьезно, вообще их не понял когда слушал, максимально обыденный мдм без изюминки. Баллов можно докинуть только за то, что без соплей.
Но я понял что ты имешь ввиду сопли Робба Флинна в духе Machine Head от 2007 года и далее.
Надежд особых на новый материал не питаю, но всяко любопытно.
плюс сказал бы о реюнионе Eagles в 1994-м
Iron Maiden в 99м, опять же, жирнейший реюнион)))

Верни мне мой 1997!!!
Надо погонять на досуге, аж заинтриговали.
Правда не думаю, что в Швеции тех годов есть что-то лучше чем Edge of Sanity, ATG и Hypocrisy.
