A well balanced mix of doom and straightforward heavy metal, Gatekeeper, the debut from the Swedish band Revelations

With a well balanced mix of doom and straightforward classic heavy metal, Gatekeeper, the debut album from the Swedish band Revelations, will lead your thoughts to both Black Sabbath and the early era of Iron Maiden, whilst leaving you with a great desire to hear more. The sonic landscape presented on the album has been evolved and improved since the bands EP release Warning from 2013, and the production is more on point, giving you those old-school vibes while maintaining a fresh and relevant sound.

Gatekeeper features 9 songs, including re-recordings of Strange Dreams and Grip Of Darkness. Lyrically the songs on the album deal with everything from life and death to politics with some glances into the human psyche, but always leaving room for different interpretations.
