At The Gates reunion!

[Doom]

OMFG

I'll be going to Bloodstock and most likely Wacken so should see them twice

 

[NAD]

I fucking hate reunions. I did see At The Gates live though.

 

[Necromunchkin]

I pretty much have no use for reunions at this point. And I've seen ATG and Carcass both live

 

[NAD]

BASTARD.

Were Carcass any good? That live DVD I have of them is freakin' genius.

 

[Necromunchkin]

They were awesome, honestly. I would actually venture out of my realm to see them live, though not so far as Europe. Since they and At the Gates are both of the Earache roster... someone should put a rather excellent tour together, I believe.

The only thing that overshadowed At The Gates live were that Dissection went on before them. That was an impossible act to follow, but they still kicked ass. Tomas Lindberg was one of the most loving frontmen I've ever seen: "oh man, we love you guys so much, seriously, just wow... AAAAAAAALLLLLLLL LIIIIIIIIIIIFEEE EEEEEEEEENNNNNDSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!"

I never got into The Haunted. Had one album, it had some neat guitarwork but nothing spectactular. Sold it. Similar to Arch Enemy, although I did enjoy them for a spell before ditching the one, maybe two albums I had. The old Gothenburg shit still stays fresh though, all these years later.

Terminal Spirit Disease > other AtG

 

[Necromunchkin]

Yeah, I have to agree there. Dissection were a sight to behold back then. I saw At the Gates with Napalm Death if I remembers correctly.

Man, it's been too long since I saw a truly energetic metal show.

 

[Dark One]

Unreal - Wacken is looking better and better all the time.

 

[Tranquillian]

The reuinion to end all reunions.

 

[Dark One]

Iron Maiden (in what will be one of their biggest shows ever)
At The Gates reunion
Kreator
Avantasia
Carcass reunion

Wow so far, and they're only 10 bands in.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Wacken is kicking the shit out of Metalcamp. Fuck.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

I feel like I should be more surprised, although I did guess this was coming from all the hints I heard.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

I saw both At the Gates and Carcass before they went po(o)p on us.

 

[EricT]

The reuinion to end all reunions.

This means my guess was right in the Carcass thread.

 

[Captain Beard]

*twirls finger*

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

Looks like I'm taking a bus to hamburg/wacken next summer.

 

[EVERLOSTINDEADETERNITY]

I want them to film it and make a DVD release for it. Seeing Lindberg rip up Termninal Spirit Disease and Blinded By Fear gives me wood.

 

[Climb Thar Hill]

Wacken is kicking the shit out of Metalcamp. Fuck.

there's a gig at cobalt cafe that's kicking the shit out of metal camp

 

[swizzlenuts]

I don't even find this awesome, mainly because I bet they play like one song from the early stuff.

In an October 2007 interview with BLABBERMOUTH.NET, AT THE GATES guitarist Anders Björler stated about the band's reunion plans, "We have been talking about a reunion for years, but there've never been any concrete plans until now. Me and Jonas [Björler, bass] have THE HAUNTED as our main priority musically. Adrian [Erlandsson] was very busy in the past with CRADLE OF FILTH. Tomas [Lindberg, vocals] does DISFEAR and THE GREAT DECEIVER, etc.

"I guess I realized this spring (2007), that if we were to pull this off at all it had to be planned way ahead — at least a year prior to the reunion becoming a reality. Since we have alot of other obligations with our other main bands, families, work/studies it was really important to plan this early to avoid any discomfort or stress on our end (as well as the people we work with in our other bands). The summer of 2008 is ideal. Especially for me and Jonas, since we are currently in the writing stage of the new THE HAUNTED album, which probably means we will record it before next summer. Adrian is no longer with CRADLE OF FILTH which means he is not tied up with extensive touring as he was in the past. This leaves summer 2008 pretty much open for a couple of AT THE GATES shows."

I don't even find this awesome, mainly because I bet they play like one song from the early stuff.

If recent Euro setlists are any indication it appears that you're right. Though that won't stop me from being in attendance.
