History
The Gates of Reality was produced and recorded in Utah, United States, and was released by Australis through the label Essential Noises on November 22, 2008. Before its release, in February 2007, the now defunct Dutch publication E-dition magazine published an article about Australis in its last issue (#16) before ceasing operations. The magazine included two tracks from this album in the audio compact disc that accompanied each issue. These tracks were "The Gates of Reality" and "Paqta Kutemunqa". On December 23, 2008, the British electronic music online organization Morpheus Music interviewed Australis about the release of this album.
In contrast with Australis' first album, Lifegiving, this album took over three years to be completed and released.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I feel as tall as you.”
—Ellis Meredith, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 14, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“False history gets made all day, any day,
the truth of the new is never on the news
False history gets written every day
...
the lesbian archaeologist watches herself
sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
asking the clay all questions but her own.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
