The Swedish band At The Gates broke up in 1996, just after the release of their towering masterpiece Slaughter Of The Soul. With that album, At The Gates essentially invented a new form of grimy-but-triumphant melodic death metal, and other bands spent decades trying to catch up. Since then, At The Gates have had one of the all-time great second acts. The band reunited to tour in 2007, and after the reunion, they went on to release two shockingly great new albums, 2014’s At War With Reality and 2018’s To Drink From The Night Itself. Now, there’s another new At The Gates album on the way, and we finally get to hear a bit of it.
