Although a seemingly new name, Oblivion Gate is the work of restless visionary Matron Thorn, mastermind of Benighted in Sodom, Ævangelist, and countless other projects. At the beginning of 2019, Thorn began Oblivion Gate to exorcise yet more demons – or summon them, perhaps – and digitally released two EPs. "Wisdom of the Grave" came second, and contained four dense, towering tracks. Now, with two additional brand-new songs, "Wisdom of the Grave" has become an album, finally and fully introducing Oblivion Gate on a grand scale.
