Ivory Gates formed in 2007 with Ethan Blackwood on vocals and guitar, Aiden Cross on bass, Jake Tempest on drums, and Anya Raven on keyboards. They released their debut album 'The Silent Hours' in 2012, followed by 'Echoes of the Past' in 2015 and 'Behind the Wall' in 2019.
Their song 'Behind the Wall' became one of their most recognizable tracks, alongside others like 'Devil's Dance' and 'Betrayal of the Heart'. The band's music often features atmospheric arrangements and introspective lyrics.
In 2010, Ethan Blackwood's mental health struggles led to a brief hiatus, but the group resumed activity afterward. Their work has drawn from elements of alternative rock, post-rock, and folk without settling into a single genre template.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
