Die Kanadier BLOOD OPERA mögen ihre alten Horrorfilme so sehr, dass sie nicht nur sich selbst hinter einer Horromaskerade verstecken, sondern auch den Gore-Horrorstreifen “City of the Living Dead“ bzw. „Ein Zombie Hing Am Glockenseil“ als Hintergrund für ihren Titel `The Gates of Hell` verwenden. Der Track findet sich auch auf ihrem Longplayer “Songs in the Key of Death”, der am Wochenende erschienen ist.

Die Band schreibt:

„Hell is full. The dead are alive. Unlock humanity’s survival from the zombie apocalypse with “Songs in the Key of Death”! We are very proud to present our brand of “dead metal” with special musical and horror guests. We poured our love of all things horror into these songs. This album was made possible by the delicious humans who made it possible with their donations and pre-orders to our crowdfunding campaign. We hope you feast on it in full as we feast on your flesh.”
