At the Gates and In Flames rip offs? Considering In Flames were Annihilator and Iron Maiden rip offs [and they admitted that shit, too]... I LIKE At the Gates AND In Flames... but of course they were INSPIRED by some bands, and GF is inspired by some bands also, so there WILL be similarities...
They've crafted something fucking awesome on their new album, and it sounds more 80's metal inspired than Gothenburg inspired to MY ears... I dont remember IF or ATG ever really creating the amount of atmosphere these guys are pushing into this new album, but, whatever.
You're always going to have the elitist "TRUER THAN THOU" guys no matter what you do...
Ether, havent heard much of the A7 crew... one of my cohorts here was just talking about them the other day, so, Ill take a swing at it and see what's up... I was checking out some of the Bleeding Through stuff the other day, and it was surprisingly better than I thought it would be.
