This album was released in Japan in 1998 and now after the success of last years release Resurrection, Stargate is now released in Europe!
Stargate is a conceptual album, but the tracks could also stand on their own without losing their magnetism. That Stargate is an outstanding album is proofed, the album got several awards in 1998! Musically guitarist Thomas Wolf, the mainman of Stormwind, always took care that he could recruit talented musicians who are able to play what he has in mind, to realize his vision. Melodic metal... Sometimes slow, sometimes fast with high pitch vocals, if this is what you like, then check this out!
The European release has two bonus tracks, one is a cover version of Malmsteen's Too Young To Die, Too Drunk To Live, a song of the Bonnet era.
One of my favorite tracks is Time Won't Tell which also presents the album very good. With Cry For Your Love there is an epic ballad included which reminds me a little bit of Heart / Alannah Myles due to the female vocals. This album should be in the collection of every melodic metal fan!
