ICARUS version with high quality slipcase. Mortiis once again releases another fine example of high quality neo-classical/pagan ritual music with The Stargate. Laden with the classical female vocals of Sarah Jezebel Deva and supporting vocals of Kalle Metz and Mortiis himself, the music defines itself by the track titles, dark brooding apocalyptic expressions of unrest, suffering, tension, faith, fear, retribution, and hope.

Elements within the release range from deep and strikingly pensive kettle drums, moving timbre, militaristic beats, neo-classical melody (with the clip-clop of horses' hooves on the earth) backed by wind instruments, orchestral synth, acoustic guitar, treated vocals, lyrics of mortal struggle, lost dreams of peace and glory, wonderment and faith of an omnipotent power, and visions of a new world yet to be attained.

The overall sound of Stargate is warm and dramatic, peaceful yet disturbing and is noted on the last track on the CD cover to be continued. One can only hope! Stargate is an incredibly moving and emotional release. Thank you Mortiis!
