“Our third release, ‘Heaven’s Gate’, is about different religious cults that have existed through the years. The main title is taken from the Heaven’s Gate cult founded in 1974 by Marshall Applewhite, a deranged man who led a mass suicide of more than 39 people believing that a higher being is taking them through a UFO following the arrival of comet Hale-Bopp.

The lyrics tackle people who call themselves pure but have the same level of hypocrisy just like everyone else, as well as people who would worship anything delusional from an animal’s arse that they claim has their “savior’s” face in it to a ridiculous “divine” cloud formation.

Here at Fragments, we are not afraid to express our beliefs; calling out what we find as delusional such as religious extremists.

– Niko Cezar, vocalist

Even on the first listen, one can tell that the song is relentless just as the band’s views are; withholding none of their disgust for religious sanctimony combined with a continuous barrage of harsh vocals and instrumentals. Truly, it is a worthy follow up to their first two singles “Chernobyl” and “In The Name Of…”, both of which also tackle political, social, and of course, religious issues. Fragments is back and no religious opposition should dare stand in their way.
