So with the start of a new year it's once again time to have a look at the covers for all the releases for each clan. I personally like to rate a whole stack of covers all at once, rather than doing them one at a time throughout the year, as it allows me to get a better feel for where each cover sits in comparison to others. With that in mind, I've just rated every cover for releases in The Gateway for 2023.

Below are the releases that are currently competing for the prestigious 2023 The Gateway Cover of the Year Award (i.e. they rate at least 3.3 and have 3 or more ratings). The winner will be announced on the 1st of February, so there's still time to get your ratings in.


Within Temptation - Bleed Out


Katatonia - Sky Void of Stars


Spotlights - Alchemy for the Dead


Sleep Token - Take Me Back to Eden


Polaris - Fatalism


Klone - Meanwhile


MolyBaron - Something Ominous


In This Moment - Godmode


If you want to contribute and rate some covers, the easiest way is to go to The Gallery and select The Gateway and 2023.

I look forward to seeing which release gets up for the win!
