At The Gates is an influential Swedish death metal band, often cited as one of the pioneers of the Gothenburg metal sound. Formed in 1990, their melodic and aggressive style has earned them a loyal following and has exerted a significant influence on the genre. After a relatively brief initial career ending in 1996 following the release of their seminal album "Slaughter of the Soul," they left a lasting legacy that continued to inspire countless metal acts around the world.
Reuniting in 2007 for a series of successful live shows, they eventually decided to return to the studio. Their comeback album "At War with Reality" (2014) marked a triumphant return to form, resonating with both old fans and new listeners. With subsequent releases like "To Drink From The Night Itself" (2018) and "The Nightmare Of Being" (2021), At The Gates have not only managed to preserve their quintessential sound but have also expanded upon their musical landscape, integrating new elements and themes into their already complex and thought-provoking style. The band continues to challenge and redefine the limits of extreme metal, solidifying their place as one of the most respected and enduring acts in the genre.
