GATEKEEPER
“Chicago’s finest purveyors of goulish EBM electro carnage.”
“…Gatekeeper’s music embodies all that we like about 1980s cinematic suspense; paranoid hallucinations, a phantasmagoria of green lights and ectoplasmic mist seeping through multiple fracture lines on the thin walls of reality, you can of course see the long shadow of one true master John Carpenter projected over the icy electroid landscapes and obsessive synth melodies painted on damp concrete with sounds made of black leather, cursed silver and blood-splattered celluloid.” -20JAZZFUNKGREATS
Gatekeeper Live at Abby Pub, February 2009.
