I don't have any problem with At The Gates reforming....frankly I think they split up way before their time anyhow. I'd love to get the chance to see them again. And oddly enough, I actually had a strong feeling this was gonna happen, I even mentioned it to a couple of people, funny that it wound up coming true.
I always enjoyed At The Gates, they were one of my favorite underground bands back in the mid-Nineties. Same goes for Carcass. If a promoter was smart enough, they should put both of those bands together on a tour of the U.S., it'd do very well. You know that 99% of the metalcore-type bands here would be chomping at the bit to open that tour.
I can understand how some fans get frustrated with the reunion thing. I've felt that way about certain bands I was a fan of too. But from the musicians point of view, I don't blame these bands for reforming....if they are feeling like jamming again and they can make some money from it, more power to them. Bands like Carcass and At The Gates deserved to gain much more from this in the first place, so better late than never I guess.
