About the album:
Artikkeli jatkuu mainoksen jälkeen’Leper, you used to be so beautiful
You hope that you are dreaming now, but this is for real’The Gates of Flesh is the third album from Lord Vicar. It was recorded by audio wizard Joona Lukala at Noise for Fiction studio in Turku, Finland, in the Autumn of 2015. The studio had the benefit of a huge live room which gave the band the opportunity to capture a sound that breathes with the ambience of the space, but maintains the sonic weight for which they are rightly known.

The tracking of the album was undertaken by the core of the band – Kimi Kärki (guitars), Gareth Millsted (drums) and the legendary Lord Chritus (vocals), with bass duties being split between Kimi and Gareth. Sami Hynninen is not featured on the album but has been taking care of bass for live shows.
Deliberately shorter than previous albums, the band sought to concentrate their trademark heaviness into shorter, punchier songs and fit the album onto a single vinyl LP. The result is an album that the band consider their most focused and intense release to date.
Whilst this is definitely not a concept album, there is a loose lyrical theme relating to the pleasures and weaknesses of the flesh. Musically and lyrically the album covers a wide spectrum of textures from the fragile beauty of ‘A Woman Out Of Snow’ to the oppressive menace of ‘Leper, Leper’, with subtle details that reveal themselves to the listener with each subsequent listen.
