Instrumentally, SACRED GATE sounds like IRON MAIDEN minus Bruce Dickenson. The guitar riffs and especially in guitar solos and harmonics it's almost the same as IRON MAIDEN. Jim Over have managed to change the similarity to IRON MAIDEN by bringing his own voice which I must admit is pretty cool though it took me a while to get used to his special voice and his unique roughness. What's really amazed me is the presence of both the bass and the drums- well done!

The forth track "When Eternity Ends" open as a replica to "2 Minutes to Midnight" by IRON MAIDEN. Now, if I wanted to listen to a tribute to IRON MAIDEN I'd look for something on YouTube but I don't. Now let's talk about the concept; we think about death and the end of things from time to time, it's not easy to deal with death of someone we love or the thought of "The End" but the fifth track "Freedom Or Death" (Which I think is the best track of the album) basically explains that we have a choice, that life is a choice.

"When Eternity Ends" is more than a tribute to IRON MAIDEN no matter how similar it sounds (besides the forth track). Nice work!
