Artist: at the gates

Ever just wanna listen to new At The Gates-inspired music that doesn't sound like today's Swedish melodeath or American metalcore? Ya know, just good ol' At the Gates, but new stuff? Because the UK's Dam sound EXACTLY like At the Gates, and I mean this in the best way possible. And since you know that [...]

Heavy metal hasn't changed much in the 30 or so years it's been played by long-haired rockers. Or has it? Zillions of T-shirt designs help bands stay afloat in the era of digital downloads. And up front, cell phone cameras are just as visible as headbangers. Sometimes fans are headbanging and snapping pics of the sweet riffs -- at the same time. Here's a rundown of positive, without-a-doubt signs you're definitely at a metal show. I've included thirteen, because of its unlucky, bad-ass reputation among numerals. [...]

While everyone is all in a tizzy about the At the Gates reunion , the brothers Bjorler - with our favorite vocalist/ranter Peter Dolving - have also been working on new music for their other band. By now The Haunted have no doubt finished recording the follow-up to 2006's excellent The Dead Eye ; the album is tentatively called Versus and is due in late September via Century Media. There's some fan-filmed live footage of the band performing a new song at a festival in Sweden in June. Sounds to me like [...]

Things were a tad slow at the MetalSucks Mansion this week, whatwith a lot of the U.S. still on holiday - but between bong rips and acid trips we somehow still found time to post about some events that went on this week: David Lee Roth got pulled over for speeding as he was trying to rush to the hospital for an alleged allergic reaction to nuts; or did he ? Thousands of dental hygienically challenged guys with mullets are running around Oklahoma wearing Ratt and Ozzy concert shirts from [...]

Vince, Kip (you remember Kip, doncha?) and I caught At the Gates on their second night of playing NYC's Irving Plaza (I refuse to call it "The Fillmore") yesterday, and, as we could only hope, the band slayed (although I wish the guitars had been a little louder in the mix; my heart broke a little when I realized I couldn't even hear the solo during "Cold"). What was kind of amazing was that it never really felt like we were watching a legendary band, so much as it felt like we were just watching a totally awesome band in [...]

So the Metal Injection crew just got back from seeing AT THE F'N GATES completely destroy Irving Plaza in NYC. I could write a long winded review...or I could just give you video proof: Yes, the crowd was that loud for the intro! It was deafening! An awesome night overall! Anyway, it turns out the band [...]

by crustcake gerf (NYC) After a shot of espresso and a stop into the bookstore to kill time (I picked up The Triumph of Evolution and the Failure of Creationism by Niles Eldredge and a copy of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five , which I've really been meaning to read practically forever, especially since I'm a Hoosier), I headed to Webster Hall. When I got there (shortly after 7pm), Clouds were already playing (!), and Torche followed shortly at a quarter to eight or so. Talk about an early [...]

Bands you'd forgotten existed reuniting, part 37,893: At The Gates have got back together, but this is but a pilot fish for something bigger. This autumn? Carcass are back.

by crustcake gerf (NYC) As if you didn't know it already, At The Gates are in New York City at this very moment . Tomas and his friends are probably bogged down in endless interviews and press-related events today... That or they're still sleeping. The melodic death metal inventors played the first of two NYC shows last night, and Blabbermouth has the setlist . The second long-soldout show is tonight, but you can still find tickets at face value on Craigslist . Oh, and Municipal [...]

At The Gates is a Swedish melodic death metal band. They belong to the Gothenburg metal scene with bands such as Dark Tranquillity and In Flames (whose upcoming album sucks). These guys made it big after the release of their last album, Slaughter of the Soul, in 1995. However, they broke up in 1996, after two of the members left. Suicidal Final Tour is a North America reunion tour for At The Gates and features special guests, Darkest Hour and Municipal Waste. It is coming to Toronto on July 13th at the Opera House. This might as [...]

• At The Gates - Under A Serpent Sun

If it wasn't for At the Gates , It's a Trap! would not exist. They were the very first band I ever heard that I associated with having a distinctive "Swedish" sound and I can still fondly remember the day I brought home "Terminal spirit disease" . I must've listened to it at least three times in a row; it was an absolute revelation. When the follow-up album "Slaughter of the soul" came out, I listened to it at least once a day, every day for six months straight. So yeah, when I say that [...]
