about

The title track of the new IVORY GATES album synthesizes the musical proposal of the record, looking for new horizons and challenges without abandoning the characteristics developed in more than two decades of existence.
It is an extremely heavy song, a modern and vigorous heavy metal, but which, suddenly, presents an acoustic, smooth and melodic interlude before returning to the previous format reaching an epic conclusion.
On the lyrical side, it is also the one that represents the musical concept developed during the album, dealing with the fear of change and the unknown that keeps us stuck in a comfort zone that brings security, but prevents growth and evolution from happening.

“Within the concept of looking for new or unexplored elements, despite my studies being essentially erudite, I never wanted to mix this approach with the band and I always kept a more traditional rock approach. This time there was an exception. During the interlude, the bass arrangement was inspired by the Six Suites for J.S. Bach.
A Baroque spice in prog metal”
(Hugo Mazzotti - Bass)

lyrics

Behind the Wall

Heart’s beating faster, Blood is running cold
The fear that we have
Of the unknown .......... don’t you know
Time won’t wait for you
It doesn’t matter what you do
Time will pass you by
Falling into the black, In the eye of the storm
There is no going back
The wheel is spinning constantly
So now, its up to you
One chance to choose what you to do And try something new
Behind the wall, The shadows of doubt
Behind the wall, evolution denied
Behind the wall, Opressed by fears
The fire is fading away and you hide
Behind the wall
Break down the wall of dismay
The fear that we have Of the unknown
So now, its up to you
One chance to choose what you to do
Behind the wall, The shadows of doubt
Behind the wall, evolution denied
Behind the wall, Opressed by fears
The fire is burning out, and you hide
Behind the wall, The shadows of doubt
Behind the wall, evolution dies
Behind the wall, Opressed by fears
The fire is fading away and you hide
Behind the wall
