Metallurgical Fire Arise and Reborn are highlights. Perhaps not as energetic as the last album, but there are a lot of great moments. The last third of this is probably the strongest. Favorite track: Arise.

sfcr Driving guitars, emotionally charged melodies, piercing vocals and a keen sense for songwriting make this album a gem compared to many other Melodic Death albums. Favorite track: Infinity.

Loganopterix like moonspell mixed with septic flesh. if that sounds good to you this is well worth the cost of entry. gonna blast this a lot.

Panagiotis Krokidas This is Fractal Gates at the top of their game - melodic death metal with this celestial/sci-fi touch.

Simply great! Favorite track: Infinity.

Megametalmachine This thing is absolut brilliant. I hope for more of this great outputs ! 🎸🎸🎸‼️ Favorite track: Bound by Time.

about

"The Light That Shines" is the 3rd opus of french melodic death metallers Fractal Gates.
Fractal Gates is a 5 man band featuring Sébastien Pierre (Enshine, Cold Insight, Ex-Inborn Suffering, Ex-Lethian Dreams) and Stéphane Peudupin (Ex-Inborn Suffering, Ex-Lethian Dreams, Ningizzia).

"The Light That Shines" emphasises on catchy tunes, stellar sci-fi sounds and melodic death metal energy. As die hard fans of sci-fi, our lyrics focus on the future, our consciousness and self awareness, the unknown, the magnificance of the universe and the probable alien encounters we might be faced with.

The album was mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö of Unisound AB and features guest appearances such as Jari Lindholm (Enshine, Ex-Slumber, Ex-Atoma) and Ben Ellis (Scar Symmetry)
Expect 44mn of dreamy catchy melodic death metal energy!

Melodic stuff but still with a slight edge. I will listen to it with Kval when I need to relax. This grew on me. Metallurgical Fire

At first I liked this less than the debut but it’s actually really good, though quite different. Atmospheric metal fans would do well to invest in them both. Really strong keyboards, synths, etc. on both releases. Metallurgical Fire
