Gatekeeper - 'Keepers Of The Gate' (official video)

Arise, arise, oh ancient ones
At the gate, someone is knocking
What soul would dare, dare breach the seal?
Antediluvian fate binds us here
Before the gate you shall kneel

Stalwart we stand, never relenting
Eternally bound, sentinels proud

From slumber we rise
Heaving the very ground,
Upon which you impose
Trespassers shall be disposed

We, the keepers of the gate
Guardians of steel, hale and true
Forever proudly standing against the enemy tides
The gate shall be kept forever more

Traveller, oh traveller who cometh before us now
Be you hero or fool?
All who set foot in our gaze hath met their doom

None have passed, none shall enter
The threshold beyond our wardship, ever
What is this power unveiled from mortal hands?
The cypher revealed, the gate trembles, unsealed

Beyond the gate all light fades and dies
Beyond the gate all hopes lay abandoned here
Lost forever, you shall dwell eternally among us
Keepers of the gate

Δισκογραφική επιστροφή μετά από τέσσερα (τυπικά τρία αν συνυπολογίσουμε και το ep "Grey Maiden") χρόνια για τους Gatekeeper. Ο διάδοχος του album "East of Sun" και δεύτερος "ολοκληρωμένος" δίσκος των Καναδών metallers τιτλοφορείται "From Western Shores" και κυκλοφόρησε προ τριμήνου. Είναι το πρώτο album της επικής μπάντας με τον Tyler Anderson στα φωνητικά. Παρακολουθούμε το μουσικό βίντεο του τραγουδιού "Keepers Of The Gate", για το οποίο η μπάντα μας λέει σχετικά:

«Canada's premiere Epic Metal band returns with a new video. The footage you see here is taken from our appearances at Hells Heroes, Stormbringer, Hyperspace, and our appearance at the Wise Hall with Iron Kingdom. Wise Hall footage shot by Jade Weekes. All other footage used with permission.»
