At Death's Gate

Description

Brutal and epic death metal! The Dutch band Slechtvalk made its debut on the European metal scene in 1999 and has been delighting fans of symphonic death metal, folk, black, and viking for 25 years. While some bands lose their edge over the years, Slechtvalk is more extreme and brutal than ever on their sixth album "At Death's Gate." Fans of the band, who had to wait eight years for a follow-up to "Where Wandering Shadows and Mists Collide," will be thrilled with "At Death's Gate." The Dutch create a dense and dark atmosphere with impressive precision, crafting a melodic sound tapestry one moment and crushing everything to the ground the next. The 9 songs, which might be better described as "brutal and epic black/death metal," were produced, mixed, and mastered under the direction of Lasse Lammert at LSD Studio (Wind Rose, Alestorm, Strydegor, etc.). The cover art was created by Mark Erskine.
