"A between-albums release, this EP was released on Nightmare Records so the fans would have some music to enjoy while waiting for the band's next album, which they are currently working on. The nice guys they are, Anubis Gate are not charging a dime for this EP, and you can download it for free on Nightmare Records' website.

The EP contains three tracks: one original and two cover versions. The original track 'Destined to Remember' is an alternative version to the one that will appear on the band's upcoming album ”Horizons”. This track is a compact five-minute rocker building on the style that the band adopted on their previous eponymous album, exploring further the more melodic sound. With a couple of quirks and a nice sense of multiple layers, 'Destined to Remember' should appeal to fans of the likes of Queensrÿche or Ivory Gates. 'Sheep' is a cover version of the Pink Floyd classic, which has been metalled up and grooved up. It may be a shock to Pink Floyd fans, but I think it works very well. The last track 'Broken Wings' is a cover version of a song by the pop band Mr. Mister, and, unlike the metalled up version of 'Sheep', this one retains its pop feel.

This is a nice little present from one of Denmark's best, yet sadly underrated, progressive metal bands. Go and download it. Enjoy it. And send the nice fellas in Anubis Gate a thank you note for giving you something to keep yourself busy till the release of ”Horizons”.
