Asked what happened to change the bandmembers' minds about making a new CD in the six years since the AT THE GATES reunion was first announced, Lindberg said: "I think a lot happened, mentally, when we decided to continue touring. When we started to do the global thing in 2011. That whole idea of being an active band, touring and hanging out, just grew on us, I guess.

"To be able to be in a band that has no internal problems whatsoever, to be able to tour around the world together with some of your best friends, it's just incredible, mind-blowing even. Then the idea just grew on us.

"I play in a band that involves some of my favorite musicians and songwriters and we are all still very hungry, creatively. I think that you can hear that in all our other projects, they are very alive and pushing boundaries still — from Anders' [Björler, guitar] solo album, to AGRIMONIA, to the new reinvigorated THE HAUNTED lineup, to DISFEAR and LOCK UP, to PARADISE LOST and VALLENFYRE. We feel that we have great and relevant new music in us. And we know how important this next album will be.

"When Anders came around saying that he had been jamming some new ideas around, it was not hard to make the decision to go 'all in,' so to say.

"I know it's kind of a gamble or what you want to call it. But this is a very creative album that we are writing right now, it's not a comfortable 'Slaughter Of The Soul Pt. 2' or anything like that, it's an album that I feel is pushing our own boundaries, and challenges our collective creative intellect. And that is the main reason for us to do this, it's for our own sake.

"We could easily go out and continue touring the old stuff successfully for quite a while, I think, but this is us putting ourselves on the line here, and we do that solely because we feel that we need to do this, this material is too strong to say no to."

Lindberg also spoke about not wanting to live up to people's expectations of making another album in the vein of "Slaughter Of The Soul".

"We have gone beyond the idea of making 'Slaughter Of The Soul Pt. 2', which was actually never the idea to start with," he explained. "This is an album that is so full on conceptually and creatively, so involved and ambitious that I am almost compelled to call it pretentious. And that brings me back to the feeling that was with us when we were creating 'With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness'. I'm not saying that this album sounds like that album, but it has that burning urge, the sense of importance that album is trying to portray.

"As I have always stated, we are an honest band, a band that is very focused on being true to ourselves and never follow any trends or try to portray a given perception of what people want us to be.

"What we decided on was really to let the music take us where it had to go, to go 'all in,' so to say.

"To answer your question, the record will be filled with a lot of the SLAYER worship and riffage that is 'Slaughter Of The Soul', but people will also recognize the more dark, melodic side that was 'With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness', and maybe some of the more pretentious arrangements that was part of our early career."

Tomas comments:
"We are very excited for this tour. It will be our first proper tour of Europe since 1996. As we have been playing only festivals in Europe since the reunion in 2008, this will be the first chance for us to meet the fans of Europe in a more intimate environment. Playing live for our own crowd, our own people in smaller clubs is something that is essential to us as a band and we are looking forward to finally being able to deliver a full AT THE GATES show in this setting, without having to work around the schedules and conditions of bigger festivals. It will also be the first time ever that we will be able to present some new compositions in a live setting - as the new album will be released by then. It's hard and uncompromising and I think the new songs will work great live next to the old songs.

As for going out together with TRIPTYKON, we couldn't be more thrilled. I have always looked upon the work of Thomas Gabriel Fischer as a great source of inspiration. From naming my first band, Grotesque after a line in a Celtic Frost song back in 1988, to the mighty comeback with his new reincarnation with TRIPTYKON. Seeing them live every day for three weeks will be mind-blowing.

As for the opener MORBUS CHRON...they have just released one of the most exciting albums of modern death metal in a long while. They remind me so much of the spirit of early AT THE GATES. It's as if every note is important and fills a certain purpose. It's dark, it's beautiful and it's sincere. One of the most outstanding "new" bands for sure.

I sincerely believe that this is a tour that you shouldn't miss out on, it will be spectacular. A killer bill!"

Hé attendez ! Ils se sont reformés ? Ça date de quand ? J'en ai raté une ? Embarassed

Du coup que devient The Great Deceiver ? Ils en parlent dans les trucs en anglais là ?

Pietro

En gros ils se sont reformés pour quelques concerts en 2008 en promettant que c'était temporaire et que surtout il n'y aurait jamais de nouvel album, puis en 2011 ils ont remis ça, et récemment ils ont annoncé que finalement ils bossaient sur un nouveau disque. Voila.
Ah et on a tous très hâte, aussi.

Quant à The Great Deceiver:

Bekk

En même temps, on s'en fout un peu de The Great Deceiver..

On parle d'ATG là, bordel!!

Je parlais bien de SOTS (pardon, coquille dans l'acronyme).
J'aime pas ce disque, je l'associe à l'émergence de toute la pire frange des groupes metalcore NWOAHM aux noms interchangeables et qui a sévit vers la fin 2000s.

Par contre j'adore The Red, et j'adore... les deux premiers TGD Wink

Lindberg dans l'ensemble, est àma capable du meilleur comme du pire. Donc je ne demande qu'à voir !

Bekk

Surtout le meilleur

Pietro

Mais pour le pire je suis le meilleur... pardon je me trompe de sujet.

Je déteste moi aussi tous ces groupes metalcore NWOAHM dont tu parles (All Killswitch That I Lay Dying Remains Engage The Black Devil Murder Wears Prada Machin Chose...). Neutral

Allez, je sauve Chimaira et Unearth et encore seulement pour certains albums.

Même si l'influence d'At The Gates est évidente (et revendiquée) chez ces groupes, je fais clairement la différence entre le death mélo Suédois et le Metalcore Américain.

Swedish metallers AT THE GATES have completed recording, mixing and mastering their much-anticipated comeback studio album, "At War With Reality", for an October 28 release (one day earlier internationally) via Century Media.

Pietro

Cover Artwork Revealed!

Designed by Costin Chioreanu (twilight13media.com).

AT THE GATES vocalist and lyricist Tomas Lindberg checked in with the following comment, explaining the album’s theme: "The concept of 'At War with Reality' is based on the literary genre called 'Magic Realism'. The main style within this genre is the notion that 'reality' is ever-changing, and needs to be constantly re-discovered and re-conquered. We felt that Costin's artwork style would be the perfect visual contribution to this album, so he became the natural choice..."

AT THE GATES guitarist, and main songwriter Anders further explained: "I got in touch with Costin a few years back. I was immediately impressed with his dark and original style. He collaborated on some T-shirt designs for AT THE GATES as well as designing the album artwork for my Instrumental Project. We realized pretty early on that his style would accompany the music and the concept perfectly.”

Additionally, Costin Chioreanu checked in with the following words: “I have been waiting for this album for almost 20 years and it’s the biggest honor for me to illustrate it - As there is no greater achievement for a dreamer than the moment when the dream becomes reality. "At War With Reality" is by far the most complex visual story I have ever created, from all points of view. From the very first moment the band presented the concept, I found it extremely stunning and at the same time super-challenging. I like to think that visual art and music are tools to explore our minds - to create, to discover and to push the limits. AT THE GATES, one of my all-time favorite Metal bands, offered me a chance to explore a new dimension.”

“At War With Reality” will be released on October 27th, 2014 in Europe and October 28th, 2014 in North America via Century Media Records.
More info soon...

A la réflexion, je me demande si ce retour est une si bonne chose finalement. Dans un style qui a été façonné par eux mais qui a suivi tout un tas d'évolutions par la suite, quelle est la pertinence de proposer une redite 20 ans plus tard, mis à part de contenter le die-hard fan.

A défaut de proposer une évolution musicale, le niveau de composition a tout intérêt à être énorme car il est certain qu'un SOTS bis ne bénéficiera pas du même accueil qu'a l'époque.

A l'écoute de l'extrait, je suis soudainement pris d'un doute.. Ca sonne bien, on identifie le riffing immédiatement, on retrouve Tompa avec beaucoup de plaisir mais passé ce constat, on est pas émerveillé par ce qu'on entend. Or il va quand même nous falloir notre dose de moments cultes.

La je trouve ça sympa, mais un peu policé.
