From Zware Metalen:

[Translated from Dutch]

Much attention has been paid to the compositions [on Gather, Darkness!], which are strong and are supported by excellent guitar riffs that are greatly influenced by Iron Maiden. In Man Or Myth even progressive influences are discernible which makes for a pleasant change. The subsequent Cast Them Down sounds quite a bit like Iced Earth. Anyway, this album contains the necessary U.S. metal influences which make Gather, Darkness! not to be immediately dismissed as just another power metal band.
