I remember when i buyed this album, i said “more a la -dark tranquillity-in flames- at the gates bands!” SO i listen to the album a few times and then it was in between my other albums. BUt then, in 1999, i realized “WHere are the goteburg bands?, where is that agressive and melodic mix that caracterize this bands? what's happenning with In flames and dark tranquillity? at the gates is dead? The haunted is not the same stuff…” this kind of questions and thoughts move me to get this disc again and give it the respect that really deserves.
Gates of Ishtar bring us a great swedish melodic death metal album mixed with a touch of black metal sound. Another cool stuff in this album is the collaboration of Mastermind Dan Swano in the Keyboards and as sound engineer. Straight to the point: If you love Dark tranquillity and In FLames (old era) ,Dissection, At the gates and/or Ebony Tears, then you need Gates of Ishtar in your collection.
