Even if i don't know anything from this band, except that they come from France, "Gates of Dawn" is their third album so far. Because i was curious about their name i found out that this name was taken from the film "Braveheart" because it was the place where most battles took place. Ok this is only some few things that we can learn for Falkirk.

But the most important thing is the music that the band offers to us with their newest work, which has thirteen tracks and more than an hour of pure heavy metal music. The band has some really common influences like Iron Maiden and Helloween but they aren't bound by these influences. The fact is that they have been able to put their own personal sound inside their music and are open minded musicians too.

So if you pay attention to the whole album you will find some few elements from thrash metal in the vein of Metallica and even some modern metal elements too. A very good work from these French guys and i hope they will continue to write such good albums like their newest one.

SCORE out of 8.2/10 Antonis Maglaras
