At The Gates - “To Drink From The Night Itself”

[|menschmaschine|]

Ich höre da ehrlich gesagt so ziemlich null At The Gates...

 

[peterott]

Ich höre Alf Svensson Riffs en masse.

 

[perkele]

Bei FB entdeckt :

Introducing, The Lurking Fear.

Tomas Lindberg - vocals, Jonas Stålhammar - Guitars, Fredrik Wallenberg - Guitars, Andreas Axelson - Bass and Adrian Erlandsson - drums

The Lurking Fear is bringing sheer, natural weirdness and horror back to the scene, as we want our death metal ugly, twisted and possessed.

Riffs should stir up real feelings of repulsion, and disgust deep down in your soul, and vocals should sounds like hounds of hell howling at the moon.

Stay tuned!

AT THE GATES Statement - March 8, 2017

So, it is now official that Anders Björler is no longer a part of At The Gates. He will always be part of the At The Gates family, of course, but he will no longer write, record or play with us live.
This is something that we, the rest of the band, have felt was on its way for quite some time, as that special spark was no longer with him the last year.
We are grateful for all we have experienced together with him, all the records, all the songs, all the gigs, all the laughs and good times.
The rest of us have in the meantime started the work on the follow up to At War With Reality, we already have three songs written, and the direction is set for an intense, hungry follow-up album.
Jonas has always written a considerable part of the bands' material and we are fully confident that the new material will live up to the standards set by our previous records. It is ripping.
The four of us still has the burning urge to create death metal together, and we love playing live in front of our fans, so we will go on, with an even stronger intent.
While writing the new record, that we intend to record in the beginning of 2018, we are trying out Anders' replacement. Some auditions are being held as we speak, and we will get back to you with news on the matter as soon as we know more.

Below are some comments from Anders:

"Just a quick note to let everybody know that I am leaving At The Gates permanently.
The passion is just gone. There might be a more lengthy statement in the future, but at the moment I feel no need to explain further.
This is a personal decision, and it has 100% to do with the music side of things.

The reunion in 2008, and the subsequent tours, as well as the comeback album ’AT WAR WITH REALITY’, really helped revisiting our friendship, and it brought us together in a way I will always remember and cherish.

I would also like to thank all the people that supported us throughout the reunion shows as well as the ’AT WAR WITH REALITY’ album.

Thanks a lot!"

AT THE GATES – Announce new guitarist; Studio album update; First live-shows for 2018!

Swedish melodic Death Metal pioneers AT THE GATES are in the final stages of preparation for their upcoming new album, following up 2014’s acclaimed comeback release, “At War With Reality”.

After the departure announcement of founding guitarist Anders Björler in March, the group is now not only ready to give a comprehensive update on the new album’s status, but they can also announce the newest addition to their line-up ranks...

AT THE GATES are back!

“We have finally decided on a new guitar player, and we are ready to rip again! Actually he was our first choice, and we are happy to have him on board. Jonas Stålhammar has been a friend since the late eighties (Tomas used to tape trade with him back then!), and our paths have crossed many times during our careers.

We were looking for someone who had the same reference points as we do, someone from the same path, so to say, who understand the greatness of both Autopsy and King Crimson. Of course it was essential that our new member could fill the shoes of Anders' performance-wise as well, but that was never an issue with Jonas. We were looking for someone with a deep understanding of what AT THE GATES are about, someone who could contribute creatively to the band.

Jonas Stålhammar will be a full member from day one, and will play on the upcoming full length album, scheduled for recording in November 2017 – January 2018.

We currently have 11 songs ready for said album, and are more inspired than perhaps ever before. You can expect a full-on AT THE GATES record with all the classic elements of the band. It is by far the most comprehensive album of the band to date, and will span all the way across the different elements of the band's sound.

We are super-excited for 2018. It will be a good year for AT THE GATES, and our fans, for sure.”

AT THE GATES 2017 are:

Sehr guute Nachrichten. Das letzte fand ich absolut klasse.

 

[Sandman]

Bei AT THE GATES kann man ja eigentlich immer mindestens ein Ohr riskieren.

The Lurking Fear hat mich bisher noch nicht so überzeugt, aber AT The Gates werden das schon richten. Freue mich auf das Album.

Jemand schon Sign Of Cain gehört?

Jemand schon Sign Of Cain gehört?

Gerade eben den einen Song auf Youtube. Gefälllt, auch wenn ich gerade mehr Bock auf ne neue ATG hätte.

(Heißt der eine Gitarrist bei SOC eigentlich wirklich Hasenfratz mit Nachnamen? )

 

[Daess-Meddel]

Nur halt die Single:

Die Scheibe ist echt gut geworden, wenn man auf uralte ATG-Werke steht. Da schwingt so manches mit.

Das Album ist sogar sehr gut geworden. Hab es jetzt viermal angehört und bin sehr, sehr angetan. Vom Sound her an Gardens Of Grief orientiert, wobei das Songwriting darüber hinaus geht und stark von TRITSIO und WFIKTBD beeinflusst ist (inkl. der Instrumentierung), allerdings immer mal wieder in doomige Regionen vordringt (alte Paradise Lost). Auch Tompa klingt hervorragend; gefällt mir sogar besser als unlängst bei The Lurking Fear (die Sign Of Cain ist auch so das bessere Album). Hoffentlich kommt Vinyl.

Jetzt bin ich endgültig heiß... Muss wohl schnellstmöglich herbei, das gute Teil

 

[Eddieson]

Heute Morgen auch kurz reingehört und für sehr gut empfunden. Muss ich mich noch mehr mit beschäftigen und auf Vinyl hoffen.

Ist auf jeden Fall deutlich stärker als die Lurking Fear (von der ich ehrlich gesagt ziemlich enttäuscht bin), aber so richtig will sich auch hier (noch) nicht die Begeisterung einstellen.
