Sounds LikeI died as inanimate matter and arose a plant,
I died as a plant and rose again an animal.
I died as an animal and arose a man.
Why then should I fear to become less by dying?
I shall die once again as a man
To rise an angel perfect from head to foot!
Again when I suffer dissolution as an angel,
I shall become what passes the conception of man!
Let me then become non-existent, for non-existence
Sings to me in organ tones, 'To him shall we return.'

Abulafia is a great song, added to my playlist. Thank you so much for sharing! Your music is Moody Blues meets Cocoon aliens. Great stuff.

I'm also hearing some Moody Blues influence. The vocals even sound similar to those of Justin Hayward.

Original sound guys... I hear elements of progressive rock, classic rock and jam band all mixed together so well that you can't be pigeonholed as any single one of them. Thanks for the intro and best of luck with the project. Cheers - Mike

So, I decided to dig on ya guys for a bit today, seeing as there was a friend request hidden in a box on my laptop. I must say, after listening to every song, this is some pretty tasty stuff, the licks and/or riffs are nicely written and played, and the vocals are nothing short of that either. I must say KUDOS, to the Gates of light, may your musical journey bring you to a place of understanding. =)

Peace, Love, and Music

Hey Guys~ I hear some Deep Purple influences ... in your music. I thought of the Big Beefy B-3 distorted sound for your 4th song ....!
