" Sombre Gates is the second release from this Swedish outfit "

" Picture Dissection crossed with At The Gates with some Hypocrisy and a bit of The Crown thrown in for good measure (huh?...all that?). But that's what I got when I heard this record. Their debut was pure At The Gates worship...But on Sombre Gates..The band has delved into their own style and has brought out a mixture that serves the band well "

" Lord Belial-guitarist Thomas Backelin has even joined now..making this unit even stronger...While clocking in at almost an hour long..Might be a bit much...
The Cold Existence should be proud of this new album....For it is very good and quite promising for their future "

Fans of all the bands above should give this a try.........

Genre - Melodic Death/Black Metal

" The debut release of IN SLUMBER is a mixture of Death Metal with some Black Metal elements. There are melodic and groovy parts in it too. These components create an atmospheric sound structure, which reminds of the Swedish Melodic Death Metal Style, but the tracks have a certain independent touch. Fantastic acoustic passages liven up the Songs (Heretic, Ardour and the title track), in order to go ahead with brutal hard riffing and double bass attacks. The songs sound spontaneous and honest "

" Vocally Wolfgang Rothbauer covers a wide range. From deep Death Metal Growls (Heretic, Down), Black Metal screaming (Orphaned Heaven, Sworn) to spoken or whispered passages (Ardour, Lunar Scars) you will hear everything on this album. The changing vocals follow the mood of the music perfectly "


Recommended to every fan of the Melodic Death genre….
