At The Gates - To Begin Recording New Album


The Swedes At The Gates are finally beginning the recording sessions for their much anticipated comeback studio album. In the classic line-up of their latest masterpiece, Slaughter Of The Soul (1995), At The Gates have just wrapped up pre-production work for their new material and are about to commence the recording sessions for the upcoming At War With Reality album in the next few days. Below you can also watch a video message from vocalist Tomas Lindberg revealing further details about the upcoming recording sessions.

The band hasn't released a new album in almost two decades. So, yes, no pressure!

At The Gates checked in with the following update via guitarist Anders Björler: "So, things are getting closer to the recording of At War With Reality. We are currently rehearsing and putting the final touches to all the songs. This album is turning into a monster. It's all coming together in a very satisfying way. Stay tuned for some studio updates in June/July".

I'm ambivalent... on one hand I have great hope, on the other, I'm very skeptical that this will live up to the standards of their old material. I'm 100% sure this will be no modern 'Gardens of Grief.'

It will most definitely be like Slaughter of the Soul, that style has a lot more mass appeal.

My mom's going to be happy. But that means rides in the car might become irritating if I don't find as good as Slaughter Of The Soul.

Since when was Surgical Steel amazing? Not in my and loads of other people's books. That album was total averageness reincarnated.

Surgical Steel got an 8.5 on this website I'd say that's pretty damn good

Unfortunately there's no way it'll be anywhere near TRITSIO. While nothing theyve done is bad, nothing theyve done even comes close to that record either.

Unfortunately you are totally right. TRITSIO is on a greatness level of its own when compaered to anything they released afterwards. It truly is by far the best thing they ever recorded.

TRITSIO is a death metal masterpiece. No one should expect a comeback album from At The Gates to be anywhere near the quality of that. On the other hand, I am interested to see how this turns out, as I don't believe ATG ever recorded anything mediocre (although Slaughter of the Soul does come close at some points). Terminal Spirit Disease V2.0 would be nice, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Terminal Spirit Disease, with an actual full album of proper songs this time, would be nice indeed

I've never been one to confuse my opinion with the mainstream, although since you mentioned it I'm far from alone in thinking Surgical Steel was very good. Now I don't believe it was Carcass' best, but it was a high quality album after a 17 year hiatus - pretty rare and impressive in my book. Certainly you and "loads of other people" are entitled to disagree, of course.
