“The Book Of Gates” is a concept album, telling the story from the land of the Pharaohs, Egypt. Here follows a description behind the meaning of the artwork:

Spiraling into the depth of deception, hypocrisy and greed, the characters of The Book Of Gates travel through the fabrics of Life and Death’s epiphanies.
The quest for immortality, dictated by false doctrines and promises of lying priests, places a huge political burden on the reign of the pharaohs.
The Book Of Gates, the tale of a union separated by an abyss of psychological turbulence and the alliance of opposites.
Main characters :
– The Pharaoh (In The Tomb).
– The Queen (Statue In The Middle).
– The Necromancer (Transparent Wolf).
– The Keeper Of The Gates (Black Wolf).
