At The Gates complete new album, set release date

Official press release: At The Gates, the pioneering band of the "Gothenburg style" melodic death metal sound, has just wrapped up recording, mixing and mastering work for their much anticipated comeback studio album, At War With Reality, and has now confirmed release dates of October 27th in Europe and October 28th in North America via Century Media Records. With the classic line-up of their latest masterpiece, Slaughter Of The Soul (1995), At The Gates held the recording sessions for At War With Reality with Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman (In Flames, Arch Enemy) and then proceeded to mix the material with Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios (Opeth, Amon Amarth). At The Gates vocalist Tomas Lindberg checked in with a report as follows:

"We are very excited to finally have finished this new album. An album that we've been working on for over a year now. It's by far the most challenging record that we have made, but it's an honest album and I think that you will feel that it is faithful to the legacy of At The Gates. "We have, through the process of creating it, been true to ourselves and our art. From hearing the first demos that Anders presented to the band last summer, through the extensive stages of songwriting, pre-production, rehearsals, recording and mixing, we now finally got the finished album in our hands. "We are very happy to have managed to produce an album that we feel is truly 'us'. Something we can all stand behind one hundred percent. I can't wait 'til you all get to hear it!"
