Beyond The Gates (Possessed Album)
''Beyond the Gates'' is the second album by death metal band Possessed. Taking a different direction from their debut, '' Seven Churches'', ''Beyond the Gates'' has a more technical feeling and, due to poor production, a muddy sound. Reception was mixed, with some critics and fans being very disappointed by the album for the sound and production, while others were satisfied with the new direction of the band. Over the years, fans have slowly appreciated ''Beyond the Gates'' and have even considered it being an "underrated masterpiece" and "overlooked classic". ''Beyond the Gates'' became a sign of Possessed's decline, as they only released the EP ''The Eyes of Horror'' before they officially disbanded the following year. This became the band’s last full length album, up until the release of their third studio album ''Revelations of Oblivion'', 33 years later. The vinyl release of the album featured an enhanced gatefold-style format: the "gates" of the front cover opened out ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gatefold
A gatefold cover or gatefold LP is a form of packaging for LP records that became popular in the mid-1960s. A gatefold cover, when folded, is the same size as a standard LP cover (i.e., a 12½ inch, or 32.7 centimetre square). The larger gatefold cover provided a means of including artwork, liner notes, and/or song lyrics, which would otherwise not have fit on a standard record cover. It became famous as an extension of progressive rock, as the expansive, transient gatefolds by artists such as Roger Dean, H. R. Giger, or Hipgnosis became associated with concept albums. Gatefold sleeves were also frequently used when an album contained more than one record, with Bob Dylan's 1966 double album, '' Blonde on Blonde'', being the first multi-LP record to be released in a gatefold. Typically, double albums would feature one disc in each half of the cover, with larger albums either placing multiple LPs in one or both sleeves or using larger gatefolds. While some multi-LP releases (pa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
