Beyond The Gates - Evans and Stokes - AVAILABLE NOW!

Our new album 'Beyond The Gates' is now complete and available for download! What a journey it has been creating this. The album is divided into two parts. The first half of the album is dark. It follows an individual at the end of their life with no hope. The songs are reflections on a lifetime of poor choices, and family and friends lost.

In the second act hope comes with the vision of an angel. As death approaches, the angel's offer of peace is accepted. Their journey ends at Heaven's gate with the last breath.

This is a Metal album but also has softer elements to emphasize the mood throughout.


I have posted a few of the songs on this forum in the past to gain some feedback on the content, mixes, etc. and I would like to thank all of the people that commented. It truly helped us to develop our sound. Please have a listen, like, share, comment, etc.

The best place to view album content, samples, media, song lyrics, and of course purchase  would be on our website...

Once again, thank you all for listening and sharing!

Congrats!

Cool!

Great news!

It was my pleasure!  Now looking forward to hearing the final product!!

Thanks guys. I hope you enjoy it!

Well, I've only had a chance to listen to it once, but I enjoyed it.  It was really cool to hear how the pieces of the story you shared with us fit into the larger picture.  Just curious, are the lyrics available anywhere?  Duh, like on your website.  Just ignore me, it's been a long day.

Thanks Messiaen77!

Well we had a few delays, but finally we have physical CD's available and 'Beyond The Gates' will be available for streaming/download via standard digital distribution partners...instead of just CDBaby.

By the end of the week you should be able to find us on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Groove, Deezer, etc.

Thanks again everyone and please follow us on Twitter...

I just updated Angelic Warlord to include a favorable (85%) review of "Beyond The Gates".  Following is the link: http://www.angelicwarlord.com/reviews/e/evans&stokes17.html

Lyrics are available at the Evans & Stokes website: http://www.evansandstokes.com/beyond-the-gates.html

Wow. That is awesome. So grateful for that, and it's especially rewarding after all of the hard work we put into it. And it's a great motivator as Jenny and I dig into our follow up (as we are doing now).

The one song I'm listening to (Dark Skies?) has a Pat Benatar vibe. It's just a tad softer than my usual tastes, but at the same time, I'm liking it nonetheless.

Thanks! We experiment a little sometimes. I have a few songs with a country twang inserted here and there too that we haven't gotten to yet. Lol! But Jenny and I will be getting back to heavier, melodic, and themed stuff soon. Hoping to have the next one done by the end of December. It will be heavy, and another concept, but different from Beyond The Gates in a few ways. Stay tuned!
