about

This is a reissue of the original debut album, initially released on CD, in the later half of 2010 with a few other formats over the following years. This is its first time available in a cassette format, via Spectral Drift Editions.

Available in a split colour edition of 30 cassettes with 3-panel Jcards and 3-panel vellum overlays. Split as 15 copies with RED vellum and inner art - 15 copies with PURPLE vellum and inner art. These reflect the first two CD editions which were respectively, a 'red' edition and then 'purple' edition. Pictures can be seen in the discography here on our page.

Reworked art from the original CD editions with the digital remaster from the LP edition from 2013. Download includes bonus track 'Absence (Choral)' and 'Birds & Rain', a long piece based on the field recordings from Outer Labyrinth that was used for live shows in the early days of the band.

From the original release press notes:
A precessional winter in three movements, spanning the worlds of doom, psychedelic drone, ambience and experimental field recordings; all filtered through the bleak aesthetics and sonic darkness of black metal. This journey ventures into themes of claustrophobia, nothingness, the unconscious passageways of the mind and the transcendence of the self.

about

Gates

GATES is a undefinable musical entity emerging from the heart of modern experimental composition. Wielding abstractions harvested from the idioms of doom, drone and black metal and from the outer worlds of prog, jazz and neo-classical music, embedding them within an amalgamation of avant-garde approaches to texture, noise and ambience.
