Buy the album here:https://stonesofbabylon.bandcamp.com/album/ishtar-gate Somewhere in Babylon, in a space almost lost in time, the eighth gate of the city was erected. Like any door, the Ishtar Gate symbolizes access to coded worlds, the closing of crossroads, or simply the thunderous force of power. Traveling back in time to the ancient history and myths of Mesopotamia and the fertile crescent, Stones of Babylon continue where they left off with their 2019 debut album "Hanging Gardens": they start from song titles with the aim that the listener can embark on a journey and, somehow, be taken to the places of an always mysterious past that fills the lines of history. With the entry of Alexandre Mendes on the guitar, there is an evolution in continuity, where, without losing the thread of the path followed previously, they intend not only to cement the concept of the project but also to expand it either through the composition or through the loudness. In this way, the six thick tracks that make up "Ishtar Gate", intend to take the listener to feel an approach to the sounds of the Middle East in fusion with the densest and most massive riffs of the West, something like sonic mantras alternating between weight and subtlety and culminating in a psychedelic and travel atmosphere. ==== https://www.facebook.com/stonesofbabylon https://stonesofbabylon.bandcamp.com https://www.instagram.com/stonesofbabylon #Psychedelic #Stoner #Doom ==== LABEL: Raging Planet https://ragingplanet.bandcamp.com ==== Gilgamesh (...and Enkidu's Demise) 00:00 Anunnaki 9:14 Pazuzu 19:35 The Gate of Ishtar 27:40 The Fall of Ur 36:33 Tigris and Euphrates 43:57 ==== Stones Of Babylon are: Guitar - Alexandre Mendes Bass - João Medeiros Drums - Pedro Branco released November 21, 2022 All music by Stones Of Babylon Recorded by Paulo Vieira at Brugo Studio, Lisbon, Portugal in August and September 2021 Mixed and Mastered by Paulo Vieira, October 2021 Artwork “Ishtar Gate” by Soares Artwork Thanks to Pawel Nowak, Pedro Lima and Rui Belchior, previous band members, for participation in the creation of “Anunnaki” (only available on CD and Digital versions)., “The Gate of Ishtar” and “Gilgamesh (…and Enkidu´s Demise)” tracks.
