Seminal Swedish metallers AT THE GATES are back! Following the heat of an ample and highly praised live-reunion, the pioneers of the "Gothenburg style" melodic death metal sound have announced that they are working on a comeback studio album with the classic line-up of their latest masterpiece effort from 1995, Slaughter Of The Soul, expected to be released worldwide by the end of 2014 via their new label partner Century Media Records.

AT THE GATES checked in with the following comment statement:

"So, here we are almost 24 years since the birth of AT THE GATES, and some 18+ years since our latest album 'Slaughter Of The Soul'. A lot of years have passed and we have embarked on some life-changing reunion tours and shows the last couple of years.
So, why make a new album you might ask, and why now? Well, what we learned from the last couple of years hanging out and playing shows together, is that we enjoy what we do to the fullest extent. We love playing music together, and we love to hang out as friends. But, as a musician, we constantly write new music. It's a huge part of our identities.

We are fully aware that we have made some very drastic statements in interviews as well as the closing words on the DVD about the longevity of AT THE GATES, but things change, situations change and people change. When Anders sent the first song last summer, we had zero expectations of the outcome. We only knew one thing - That it sounded amazing! At the time we weren't even sure there would be an album, but as things progressed, more songs came into existence, and we knew we were on to something great.

We know you are all curious about the new material, and to make a simple explanation of where we are at musically, we would describe it as a perfect mix between early AT THE GATES & 'Slaughter of the Soul'-era AT THE GATES, trying to maintain the legacy and the history.

We chose Century Media as a worldwide partner for the upcoming album. We have all been friends for years with people at the label. Jonas & Anders have a history with THE HAUNTED there (as well as Adrian with PARADISE LOST).

So, we hope to bring you updates about the progress of the new album soon. The plan is to record the album in June/July with a tentative release in October / November of 2014 on Century Media Records."

--AT THE GATES, January 27, 2014

Century Media Records added: "We are extremely proud and super excited to have teamed up with one of the most legendary and influential bands in metal. AT THE GATES have not only been a staff favourite since their very inception, but also a group of members that we individually like, respect and are always glad to support. As the reunion shows of the recent years have demonstrated, AT THE GATES are currently on top of their game and more relevant than ever before within and for the metal scene of these days. We truly look forward to pushing AT THE GATES to new heights with their new album 'At War With Reality'. Let's...GO!!!"

Most recently, AT THE GATES has launched the following two teaser clips to introduce their return:

There is no way this can turn out well.

In order to live comfortably I have to believe that they will come out with something legendary.

I blame Carcass and Gorguts. If those two albums didn't sell so well and weren't so critically acclaimed, i'm willing to bet that ATG wouldn't be doing this.

in 2007, they swore that they wouldn't back in 2007. fuck them. though they will still be awesome.

This can't be such a bad thing. Disfear and The Haunted did well after ATG. Who knows.

Disfear started years before ATG broke up and The Haunted sucked.

The Haunted is indeed fucking terrible.

I give the new ATG album about a .537% chance of being good.

I'm interested to hear what they come up with. I won't have high expectations, but I can't imagine it's going to suck that bad. I'm not surprised that they're coming out with a new album; if it does suck, oh well.



toggletoggle post by BeholdJudas at Jan 27,2014 1:38pm
If it winds up sounding like The Red in the Sky Is Ours, I might actually give a shit. There's like no chance of that happening, however, and we'll probably just get a rehashed version of the album that birthed a million faggy pop-metalcore acts that will invariably make it onto the top of every year-end list ever.

Well then you must be an over optimistic fagget who somehow missed how bad almost every single record by bands that should have just stayed broken up usually turns out to be. Thanks for stopping by.

I don't blame them for making another album, you get old and bored. I never liked this band so my expectations are zero.

Zircon will like, totally make a better album!
