Further explorations into the dark past by Tholos Gateway. After the their first Aegean trip documented in their debut album, the trio formed by Colin Marston, Alex Reviriego and Vasco Trilla returns with the second volume of the Tholos Gateway saga. The dark and ominous atmosphere of the previous album is still here, soaking the ritualistic bells, savage bass drones and dreamy synths in a mysterious fog.
This time they count with the collaboration of Yoshiko Ohara (Bloody Panda) and Mick Barr (Krallice, Ocrilim) adding more nuance and character to an already fascinating voyage.

Dalsze eksploracje mrocznej historii autorstwa Tholos Gateway. Po pierwszej wyprawie na Morze Egejskie udokumentowanej na ich debiutanckim albumie, wydanym przez Gusstaff Records w 2021 roku trio utworzone przez Colina Marstona, Alexa Reviriego i Vasco Trillę powraca z drugim tomem opowieści Tholos Gateway. Mroczna i złowieszcza atmosfera poprzedniego albumu wciąż tu jest, zanurzając rytualne dzwony, dzikie basowe drony i marzycielskie syntezatory w tajemniczej mgle.
Na poprzedniej płycie wokalnie wspomagała ich sama Jarboe, teraz współpracują z nimi Yoshiko Ohara (Bloody Panda) i Mick Barr (Krallice, Ocrilim), dodając więcej niuansów i charakteru do i tak już fascynującej podróży.
