At The Gates ^swe^

At the Gates is a melodic death metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden, and a major progenitor of the Gothenburg death metal sound. Initially active from 1990 to 1996, the band reformed in 2007 for a reunion tour. At the Gates was formed in 1990 by former members of the pioneering death metal band Grotesque. They recorded a debut EP, Gardens of Grief, for the Dolores record label, and sold cassettes, vinyls, and XL t-shirts to promote the recording.

Sinds 1993 maakt het Zweedse Nifelheim platen in het genre 'black speedmetal', maar net zo goed tributeplaten als In Conspiracy With Satan - a Tribute to Bathory. De band is een graag geziene gast bij Iron Maiden-fans, en dat is ook te horen in hun sound, net zoals invloeden van Venom, Bathory, Holocausto en Sarcofago. 

"As the opener the german death metal combo DESERTED FEAR is going to play. After 10 years of existance they worked out an unique vita that led the band around Manuel Glatter to the big stages of Germany. On the tick of their 10th anniversary they release their new album „Dead Shores Rising“ and they promise to open the ball dignifiedly." - MTV Headbanger's Ball Tour
