What's your single favourite At the Gates song?

[NAD]

Yeah I tried to edit that post for about 8 minutes, then UM took it's hourly dump.

He's a member of Swedish Parliament, good for him.

Grotesque was alright. I used to have the split with them and AtG. The AtG stuff was much better.

Alf Svensson played guitar in early AtG, and left before TSD. He is sometimes credited as the person who made those albums what they are. He also played in Liers in Wait, along with Kristian Wahlin (AKA Necrolord, the artist, now in The Great Deceiver) and released one pretty nifty EP. Then Svensson went on to play space metal or something in Oxiplegatz.

Wahlin was in Grotesque, before going to LiW.

I could be wrong. I'm sure Erik knows more.

FUCKING INSANELY BIZARRE Oxiplegatz

It appears I need to hunt out this group, especially since said avant-garde tendencies are the best part about early-AtG material.

Slaughter of the Soul was the first ATG album I got. Then I went backwards. Somehow skipped TSD altogether, just because I didn't want/need SotS part 2 or whatever it is. I guess I've missed the boat at this point.

Who said early melo-death was better etc? Yeah, it's amazing. You can still hear the freshness of it all even to this day. It still sounds genuine and relevant, not money hungry and label driven.

@NAD - ten four.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

So did anyone else hear ATG might be doing a few shows in the future?

 

[NAD]

I didn't, but that would rock. I saw them once and they totally rocked.

 

[JayKeeley]

Lindberg still likes metal?

 

[Crimson Velvet]

At the Gates are pretty sweet live...

 

[J.]

didn't he sing in Nightrage....oh yeah, nevermind.

he sings in Skitsystem, some extreme crust/punk/grind somethingorother.

 

[JayKeeley]

"sings", heh.

 

[J.]

well, whatever. "sings" is less keystrokes than "does vocals"

 

[NAD]

Lindberg baks, and does it well. Bax.

 

[J.]

he also did that Crown album that the band is trying to forget. He baxs real nice like.

 

[JayKeeley]

Man, I have The Crown's "Crowned Unholy". Thank fuck for Lindstrand. And that's all I have to say about that.

Anyone who baks must like dags.

Raped by the light of christ.
