Anubis Gate isn't an album that's about endless keyboard/guitar unison soloing. It's all about the songs. From the classic Anubis Gate opener "Hold Back Tomorrow" to the melancholic, but very crunchy, "The Re-formation show. From the fast aggressive "Desiderio Omnibus" to the epic "World in a Dome". from the surprising "Oh My Precious Life" to the atmospheric "River" this album displays Anubis Gate at the top of their game while in no way rehashing the last two albums. Quite to the contrary this album sees the band taking new turns whilst retaining the core of all the albums that came before.
