I made a list from the first 30 reviews we got. Will be updating this as soon as I have time. Anyway, these are the bands, in alphabetical order, which those reviews compared us with (more or less of course...). So if you like any of these bands, it's a pretty big chance that you might enjoy VII Gates a lot (though I have to admit that I haven't heard all of this bands myself):
Accept, Agent Steel, Blind Guardian, Crimson Glory, Dark Moor, Deep Purple, Europe, Gamma Ray, Giant, Glenn Huhges, Halford, Hammerfall, Heaven's Gate
Helloween, Iced Earth, Insania, Iron Maiden, Jag Panzer, Judas Priest, King Diamond, Leningrad Cowboys, Manowar, Nocturnal Rites, Oz, Paragon, Primal Fear
Rainbow, Riot, Rough Silk, Royal Hunt, Sonata Artica, Spinal Tap, Stormwitch, Tad Morose, THunderstone, Twilightning, Whitesnake
Sounds Like
Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Savatage, Rainbow, at least according to the reviews we've got.
NEW VII GATES ALBUM "IN HOC SIGNO VINCES" OUT NOW! ORDER YOUR COPY HERE!
Ok, for those who don't know... What is VII Gates? Well, since we're from Sweden, it's not in our nature to brag about the music ourself. So we leave that to others. The following are the main opinions from different media:
"VII Gates' heavy metal is close to perfect" (Tartaeran Desire)
"Sound Riot have a winner in this band - perhaps they have discovered the next Rainbow or UFO!!" (Battle Helm)
"If this band holds it together and is fortunate enough to make it bigover time, Fire, Walk With Me will eventually be hailed as a classic Metal album that will be held up by many as one of the better efforts the genre has ever produced. My advice to you is to get on the bandwagon now and be one of the first to make this realization before someone tells you you should have 10 years from now!" (Metalexpressradio.com)
"Now its up to the metalheads to discover what a truly good band VII Gates really are." (Metal-rules.com)
"I'm not sure if the band knows which songs they wrote kick the most ass either" (Metalcrypt.com)
We hope you're doing fine and want to let you know that there're some updates on our page :)
