HOW TO BECOME FAMOUS - GATEKEEPER EDITION

Hi yeah so this band Gatekeeper from Chicago seem like something I'd totally be into. Goblin-esque soundtrack synth-scapes, truly evil horror imagery and cool-dude gothy clothes. Often playing with "Witch-House" pioneers Salem (whom we wrote about here), their hype in the blog-o-sphere lately has been vast. In other words these dudes are BLOWIN' THE FUCK UP. Recently signed to super hip label Merok, they are releasing their new full length GIZA in December. Check out this cover art! It's awesome right???

Wow! So late 70's!!!

Their label describes them as, "Inspired by the sounds and visions of forgotten sci-fi film scores, fantasy games and arcade imagery, Gatekeeper lives in a morbidly demented discotheque of its own making, a vivid flight of fancy in which the conventions of techno, Chicago house, italo-disco and industrial are transfigured into one phantasmagorical adventure, populated by hushed screams, Gregorian dungeon chants and cinematic washes of mammoth sound."

Holy shit! EPIC!
Well when buying into the hype like the moron I am, I checked out the big Gatekeeper single from last year. Hmmm something isn't right here... this song sounds familiar...



Wow what a video featuring clips from my favorite straight to video movies I rented as a child of the 80's (including 1991's POPCORN)!

Wait... I know this song...



It's a song by Larry Fast's project Synergy from the 1978 album Cords. It's the EXACT SAME SONG with some terrible drums programmed over it.

Gatekeeper....

YOUR POSE HAS BEEN EXPOSED!!
