Ruotsalaisen melodisen death metallin veteraani At The Gates julkaisee “To Drink From The Night Itself” –albumin toukokuussa 2018. Levyn tuotti Russ Russell (Napalm Death, The Haunted, Dimmu Borgir) Englannissa ja teos seuraa vuoden 2014 paluualbumia “At War With Reality”. Julkaisupäiväksi on asetettu 18.5.2018. Yhtye kertoo uuden levyn kuulostavan ilkeältä ja nälkäiseltä, luvassa on jälleen kerran teemalevy, josta löytyy yhtymäkohtia vuoden 1992 “The Red In The Sky Is Ours” -debyyttiin.
At The Gates nähdään uuden levyn myötä ensi kesänä Tuska Open Air -festareilla. Esiintymispäivä on lauantai 30.6.2018.
Laulaja Tomas Lindberg kommentoi:
We have wrapped up the recordings of the new record, and we are super psyched! It has been a smooth process, and very creatively fullfilling. All people that we have worked with on this project have stepped up to our vision of the final product, and we are very excited about the result.
As you might have seen, we have worked with Russ Russel on this one, and he is really a master of getting the most intense takes out of us, and also has an ear for the rawness that we were after for this one. The vocals were recorded with Per Stålberg here in Gothenburg, and he always makes me deliver to a 100%. Right now we are getting the mastering done, and every new song that is bounced to us produces huge grins on our faces. This album sounds hungry and mean.
The title of our new record will be ”To Drink From The Night Itself”, and it is, again a conceptual record. More details about the concept will be revealed once the album is more on its way. But it connects with the deep roots of the band, and has connections with some of the themes on ”The Red In The Sky Is Ours”. 2018, we are ready, let´s do this!
