Description: | Gateway To Selfdestruction is an atmospheric/depressive black metal band, formed
in 2013. Their second album, again produced by Patrick W. Engel at Temple Of
Disharmony, delves into the
power struggle between the child and the motherly, pathologic presence of a
woman suffering from mental illness, whose selfdestructive behavior is expressed
through child abuse, perversions and prostitution in both obvious and hidden
ways. The conceptual layout of the CD shows her pathology and the different
roles she is driven to play in her life - the loving
mother to the casual observer, the whore in secret, the Madonna as the highest
aspiration which she struggles to reclaim.
Musically, Gateway To Selfdestruction went from the depressive black metal with
atmospheric doom influences of earlier days to a more progressive extreme metal
sound with extensive use of clean guitars, guitar solos, different vocal styles,
clean vocals, choirs and extreme screams. Influences range from old Katatonia to
more contemporary acts such as Shining, Woods Of
Desolation, Ghost Brigade and Antimatter. - |
