Hey folks,
This is a thread that will contain general news, updates and information on my band Gatekeeper. We play Epic Heavy Metal. We draw influences from 80's Manowar, 90's Bathory, Solstice, Manilla Road, Scald, Fates Warning, Robert E. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith. You know the drill.
Feel free to post here with questions, comments or even some constructive crit. if you've got anything to say.

Also find us on Wastebook and Bandplant and Youboob
Cheers,
Jeff

Samples are so short it's hard to get any proper idea... I remember listening to some excerpt from a recording session months ago and liking some bass-line there... Anyway, will hear it when it comes out I guess
FB page doesn't seem to work.

You surely got me interested with those references, but I couldn't listen to the samples.

Those references made me want to hear it, but the samples are so short it's really hard to know what to think. I'll probably get it when it comes out, depending on how my finances are.
