Swedish melodic death metal pioneers At The Gates have unveiled a second single from their forthcoming album, To Drink From The Night Itself, which will arrive on May 18 through Century Media Records. A music video (created by Costin Chioreanu) for new song "A Stare Bound In Stone" can be found below.
At The Gates frontman Tomas Lindberg comments on the track: "For the second single release of the album we wanted this menacing stormer, fast aggressive verses, heavy chorus and an evil mantra of an ending. This, for me, depicts the desperate, urgent mood of the record. I think it could be one of the most aggressive songs we have ever written. This album is so diverse, and includes so much different elements that it is hard to boil down those essences to just one song. This song has a lot of them though, more to come soon. For the video-shoot we wanted to work with Costin on this one, as he is an essential part of this record. We felt that he knew exactly what kind of emotions we wanted to get across, and how to capture them artistically. I see this video as a brilliant complement to the song. Enjoy!"
