[@tomjut9761]

That is really awesome, so cool to see our songs covered! You guys did it perfectly! ❤

[@BalashToth]

Oh my god. Tom, your comment is a huge honour for us, I cannot even express. Thanks for the beautiful music you guys created it truly changed my life🤘

[@tomjut9761]

@@BalashToth This song still makes my hand go numb, it’s not easy to play. It’s like an exercise for the right hand. Brutal, for me.

[@BalashToth]

​@@tomjut9761 I actually use these riffs since the late 90s to warm up my right hand for these kind of triplet riffing songs. 😂 It's hard to keep it going for 4 and a half minutes though

[@interestingstories4521]

like Deathmetalvoicer

[@BalashToth]

Thanks...i guess😊

[@oorandur7686]

I had this album on CD. Holy hell, how much inspiration I got from there for my puppiehood art and poems. I think some of it is still on my sculptures.

[@BalashToth]

@@oorandur7686 Thanks for the comment 🤘 I have all their 1st press CDs, bought them around release. Huge inspiration for me too🔥

[@WyrmOnTheMoon]

It feels like you were made for this type of music, man! I enjoyed this one! I'd never heard of this band, so I guess I need to go check 'em out!

[@BalashToth]

Thanks man🤘 I've been playing melodic death metal since 1996 and then from 98 in a band called Casketgarden. Gates of Ishtar was a big influence on me at the time. Wort checking out for sure 🙂

[@daztaylor]

Superb, Balash. A very good rendition by both of you. Well done guys.

[@BalashToth]

Thanks a lot Daz🤘

[@iamPHCorrea]

Daaaamn, this duo is killer!! Brutal riffs and tone, sick vocals! You both should aim writing your own material.... can we wait for some? Even though... So awesome man!

[@BalashToth]

Thanks man 🤘 I'm just working on some lyrics for an original but 🙊

[@BadManIncorporated1]

[@StephaneThirion]

a dude wearing a NIght in Gales shirt playing Gates of Ishtar, sign of a very good taste in music :)

[@BalashToth]

Haha thanks 🤘those two bands are among my top favourites for sure. They are very important to me as I kinda followed them real time ftom their first efforts when I was introduced to melodeath while the big names already had 1-2 albums out there.

[@StephaneThirion]

@@BalashToth same here i would add to this list Ablaze my Sorrow :)

[@nightmaresanddreamscapes1320]

Dude this cover was sick!!!! Great job on the edit, mix, performance! To both of you, incredibly talented and excellent execution!! Look forward to more!! 🤘🤘

[@BalashToth]

Thanks so much bro🤘 I really appreciate your feedback man🔥

[@ClinesMindMetal]

Before today, I've never heard the song. I must live under a rock. 😂 This is incredible. You two pair up well. I love hearing stuff from you guys. Well done.🤘

[@BalashToth]

Gates of Ishtar is definitely worth to check. They were like a second wave Gothenburg band and they forged At The Gates, Dissection and In Flames kind of stuff together very well. This is not their best song perhaps (I just like the riffs in this one) but they have some amazing songs. They are the ones that turned into The Duskfall later, same songwriter guitarist and drummer. Maybe you know that band.

[@ClinesMindMetal]

@@BalashToth oh okay. And yes, The Duskfall is awesome. I discovered them years ago.

[@KRIS.7S]

You both have done an amazing job, the mixing and mastering sounds powerful and overwhelming, a masterpiece Balash, congratulations to both of you, 👏👏👏

[@BalashToth]

Thanks man 🤘 I'm glad you like it. I thought it might be too melodic for you 😅

[@gergelygregus-szabo5188]

Annak idején mondtad, mennyire kedveled őket. Várom.

[@BalashToth]

Igen, nagyon bírtam őket mindig, Casket miattuk alakult az Aliban kb. :D Ez nem is a kedvenc számom tőlük amúgy, nem tudom miért ezt választottam... :D

[@gergelygregus-szabo5188]

@@BalashToth Valami oka biztos volt. Emlékszem, amikor még volt FB-m, de már kint éltél, neked köszönhetően fedeztem fel jó pár zenekart, őket is. Deathmetalvoicer pedig nagyon jó.

[@BalashToth]

​​@@gergelygregus-szabo5188 köszi 🤘 riffeket szoktam tolni mert jó bemelegítés ehhez a fajta riffeléshez

[@GoodStuffCheap94]

What's the tuning? D standard?

[@BalashToth]

Hey. Yeah it's D Standard as the original. The main riff is in the key of A minor though.

[@GoodStuffCheap94]

@@BalashToth thanks. Awesome cover, man. Such an overlooked band

[@BalashToth]

Thanks 🤘 I agree.

[@mkoniii_shred]

great duo! my favorite part 2:32 . for my taste a little bit too repetetive. never heard of the band till now ^^

[@BalashToth]

Thanks man 🤘 yeah it's very repetitive, you need some stamina to play them 😊 you also get into this "hypnotic zone" when you play it. I played these riffs to warm up for triplet style riffs for years so I thought I might as well do a cover of it. My favourite part is actually the 4:09 part.

[@mkoniii_shred]

@@BalashToth yea i totally agree. Damn fine warm up :D and not too easy
