Gothenburg Melodic Death Metal band, At The Gates, released their title track today.  Many people thought there would never be another studio album from the Swedes, but the band defied even their own expectations.  The new album “At War With Reality” is based on a literary genre called Magic Realism.  The genre integrates normal reality with magical things or people in great detail.  The band said they would never release another studio album after “Slaughter To The Soul” because they didn’t think they could ever top that album after nearly a decade.  The band from the beginning has had hiatuses, a break up, and several member changes.

The new album should be a large departure from their previous albums.  I expect a very modern, dark, heavy, melodic, and complex album from At The Gates.  Based on the tracks I have heard so far, I expect a high quality and diverse release from the band.
