Germany's Sacred Gate quickly follows up their 2012 with a stronger and even more confident album with 'Tides of War.' While Iron Maiden is still the band's biggest influence, they have moved a few steps forward in creating their own recognizable style. 'Tides of War' is a concept album about the Spartans and their allies' heroic fight for freedom against Persians at the pass of Termopylae. If you like Iron Maiden, Iced Earth, and Saxon, this is for you!
