Say goodbye. I'm giving up because I get lost from all the tension in this room that's building up. I've been sitting in one place for far too long. Don't get me wrong I love my home but it's grey and miserable. This state of mind is all i've ever known. An empty face in every place I go. Every where i go all I see is constant downpour. Everything that I once loved "Its never giving up" I lost it in this place. It holds true pain and it's scarred within my skin so take me away. I lost my faith right in this place. It's all i've ever known. I lost my faith in here it holds true pain and these skies they cloud my mind. All I see is constant downpour. I can't find peace no matter where i go. This fucking downpour is never giving up.
Raw, expressive, and achieves a remarkable balance between melody and sharp hardcore edge. It presents a type of duality that makes euphony and cacophony sound beautiful together, like rice and beans (a complete protein) :) Love the sound, this split demonstrates impressive talent! Kenny McGalem
The beginning of something great!
From the opening post rock instrumentation of the 1st track to the emoting pleading lead vocals; you can tell immediately that Gates is something different & special.
At times reminiscent of Thrice & Thursday vocally "Fear" sets the sonic blueprint for how "Post - whatever" bands with vocals can be so powerful in both form and presence.
Gates angst is fresh and liberating! Agent K
