Posted By: Fizzpop

Date: July 5, 2021

Gothenburg death metal pioneers At The Gates have announced their new album, The Nightmare Of Being.

The Swedes have shared the record artwork and release date, with vocalist Tomas Lindberg teasing of what’s to come conceptually: “The overall theme deals with the topic of pessimism, and I have been diving deep down in pessimistic philosophers. Trying to understand this way of looking at the world. Read this: 11 bands who wouldn’t be here without At The Gates

“It is not a negative album, more a gateway into new ideas for me personally, trying out different perspectives. You could call the album an introduction to pessimism as a concept, I guess. It is a very dark album, but not negative…”

Additionally, of the sound, he hints, “It still sounds like At The Gates, 100 per cent. It is just more of everything…”

The Nightmare Of Being was mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren, and is due out on July 2 via Century Media Records. More details will be unveiled on April 30, so watch this space…
