At The Gates is a
band that most of you probably already know of as one of the best death/thrash
metal bands ever. As part of the NWOSDT (New Wave Of Swedish Death Metal) they
play very fast changing and melodic music like other Swedish bands such as In
Flames and Dark Tranquillity. The vocals are death style and very similar to
early In Flames but a little thinner. "Slaughter of the Soul" contains 34
minutes of the best metal Sweden has had to offer. It´s tight, fast,
aggressive and melodic with first class drumming and guitar work. The only
thing that I don´t like about this album is that it´s exrtremely short. At The
Gates consisted of some of the most talented musicians in Sweden but they have
now departed with the Björler brothers forming the At The Gates copy The
Haunted and the drummer Adrian Erlandsson now being with the No 1 black metal
band in the world, Cradle of Filth. This is one of the classic albums of metal
history and should be a part of every record collection. "Slaughter of the
Soul" was recorded and mixed in Studio Fredman in Gothenburg May-July 1995
and mastered at Transfermation by Noel Summerville, produced by Fredrik
Nordström and co-produced by the band. The lead guitar on "Cold" was played
by Andy LaRocque from King
Diamond.
