Finnish MAUSOLEUM GATE<\/strong> releases today the first track off their forthcoming, self-titled debut album to be released by Cruz Del Sur Music on October 10th<\/sup> in Europe and October t7th in USA<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMagic of the Gypsy Queen\u201d can be streamed here<\/a>. It is total 80s metal worship, with hypnotic riffs and dramatic, theatrical vocals. MAUSOLEUM GATE’s <\/strong>influences emerge quite clearly from this song. Its debut album will be particularly appreciated by any lover of\u00a0 late 1970s hard rock\u00a0 (such as early Scorpions and Uriah Heep), and also early 80s metal (principally Saxon and the weird twists of Cirith Ungol). \u00a0The presence of unusual keys (Mellotron and Organ mainly) gives this album a spooky and somewhat tragic atmosphere, with long musical suites such as \u201cLost Beyond the Sun\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cMausoleum Gate\u201d<\/strong> that reach the highest peaks of an opera prima that will hardly pass unobserved.<\/p>\n

MAUSOLEUM GATE’s <\/strong>out-of-nowhere appearance on the scene came very unexpectedly and immediately turned some heads – the band has already been invited to play at the next edition of famous German “Keep It True Festival” in April 2015 -. We are sure that their debut album will not just turn, but also behead quite a lot of others.<\/p>\n

The cover artwork has been painted by Timo Raita<\/strong>. He is basically the \u201csixth member\u201d of Mausoleum Gate<\/strong>, having created the band\u2019s logo and\u00a0 illustrating its artworks from the very beginning.<\/p>\n

MAUSOLEUM GATE<\/strong> debut full length will be released on compact disc, limited gatefold vinyl and digital.<\/p>\n
