AT THE GATES

Release Year: 2013
Artist Origin: SWE
Style: catchy dynamic harmonious death metal

an ultimate must have second full-length of innovative dynamic expressive Swedish death metal [1993] by this legendary five-piece, brave and forward-thinking at the time when most of others were eager to stick to the conformist route, experimenting in spades yet maintaining tight and poignant delivery: Raped By The Light of Christ, Stardrowned, Ever-Opening Flower and Non-Divine all sound killer even thirty years after being recorded, hypnotizing with its peculiarly melancholic vibe and philosophical angle of lyrics; recent black 180g vinyl edition comes with publicly not mentioned Discharge The Nightmare Continues cover, while specially remastered sound does not take away the authentic hardcore spirit and vibe!
