at the gates kicked ass ..
even going back to "with fear i kiss the burning darkness" and "the red in the sky is ours" .. fuckin class records .. different style, but still genius there, more atmosphere than most bands can muster, more melodies, more harsh parts, graffically evocative vocals, stunning allround! ..
and then TSD and SOTSoul totally changed the face of melodic death metal as well, and there are so many rip offs to that style ,, not saying ATG did it first, but at that time, and probably still now, they did it better than anyone else ..
what a band
what a shame
what a way to bow out those with SOTSoul, and that last track on there, the keyboard one, FUCKIN HELL!! shivers down the spine!!
brilliant band!
