Elephant Bell Announce April 28 Release for Gates of Dawn

So here’s my understanding of what’s going on with Elephant Bell‘s Gates of Dawn. The Finnish four-piece — not to be confused with emergent UK heavy rockers Elephant Tree — have been issuing short releases since the early aughts. Demos and EPs. In 2011, they offered up a self-titled full-length debut. That album was initially announced as being reissued through Argonauta last fall, and at the time, it could still be streamed from Elephant Bell‘s Bandcamp page. Okay.

You’ll note the player in that news post is now empty. As I read the below, what seems to be the situation is that Elephant Bell‘s Elephant Bell has been reworked to some degree as Gates of Dawn and will now be out April 28 via Argonauta. There’s a new video for “Come to the Show” that you can see at the bottom of this post. Just how much as been done to it versus the form the self-titled took five years ago, I’ve no idea, but that’s my interpretation of what’s happened here. I could be completely wrong. It could be a completely new album. I’m doing the best I can.

Either way: Elephant Bell. April 28. Gates of DawnArgonauta. Sometimes I don’t know why I bother trying to think.

Finnish Stoner Rockers ELEPHANT BELL release cover artwork and first single from their highly anticipated debut album.

Featuring LOWBURN member Tomi Mykkanen and mastered by Karl Daniel Lidén (GREENLEAF and DOZER) , “Gates of Dawn” (the revamped version of the “self-titled” one previously available digitally) is a colossal album influenced by the first ‘stoner’ era and by bands as Monster Magnet, Fu Manchu, with a touch of grunge-like sonorities as Soundgarden.
