    PLEASE NOTE: the order fulfillment for these LPs will be handled by Utech Records in Milwaukee, WI, USA. These are the REMAINING COPIES, recovered from Ivory Antler records. Bulk shipping to Canada from the US is astronomical right now so Utech has graciously offered to do this.

    IF YOU PLAN ON ORDERING ANYTHING ELSE FROM GATES BANDCAMP ALONG WITH THIS OPTION THEY WILL BE SEPARATE ORDERS COMING IN SEPARATE PACKAGES. PLEASE PROCESS YOUR ORDERS SEPARATELY OTHERWISE THE SHIPPING WON'T CALCULATE CORRECTLY. THANK YOU

    **When ordering it will say shipping "from Canada", which we can not change to "from US" without changing every merch item on the bandcamp page. Please be aware that the destinations are correct but it is indeed shipping "from the US"**

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.
