Lyrics and story by S Babb


Notes: Davison's part is at the beginning of track 7. Davison was in Glass Hammer from 2009-14, but has occasionally guested with them since. The band now have Pryor as their lead singer, but have remained open to working with their previous singers.

At the Gate is the last of a trilogy of albums, following Dreaming City (2020) and Skallagrim: Into the Breach (2021; both without Davison), which are all set in the same fictional universe as 2005's The Inconsolable Secret (Davison did not appear on that album originally, but is on the 2013 expanded version) and Babb's novel, "Skallagrim—In the Vales of Pagarna" (2022).
