Gates of Ishtar - Murder the Light (New Album)
Архив новостей | Русская версия
After 29 years of silence, Swedish melodic death metal legends GATES OF ISHTAR return with "Murder the Light", a work that carries the unmistakable spirit of one of Sweden's most influential (and perhaps most underrated) melodic death metal bands. Scheduled for release on January 21, 2027 through The Circle Music, this long-awaited album is the continuation of a legacy that never truly faded.
After nearly three decades Gates of Ishtar return. This January we will release our first album since 1998. Not a lookback, but a continuation built on the same foundation and spirit that defined us then and still drives us now. The new material stays true to the sound and identity that shaped our earlier work. While reflecting the years that have passed and the experiences gained along the way, now nearly thirty years later the fire still burns even brighter and more intense than ever.
