| Swedish melodic death metal pioneers AT THE GATES released their latest studio album The Ghost of a Future Dead worldwide this past April via Century Media Records and the album marked a special tribute to frontman Tomas Lindberg, who tragically passed away in September 2025. As part of the release campaign for The Ghost of a Future Dead, longtime AT THE GATES collaborator Costin Chioreanu (Twilight 13 Media) prepared a massive conceptual visual storyline which enhances the entire album’s music and lyrics. Having previously already released the animated paintings in videos for the songs ‘The Dissonant Void’ and ‘In Dark Distortion’, the rest of the videos for the other album songs as well as the “full album video” can now be experienced here. Costin Chioreanu, who handled the painting, filming, editing and producing the project, checked in with the following comment about it:
“This is by far the most intense project I’ve done, not only due the circumstances but also because the album is so intense and it requires an insane rhythm for the whole dynamic. It is also the first time that I am doing a full album art video and, honestly, I think it will remain singular of this kind in my career, as I’ve been over several of my limits with this one. But I am so happy that I could finish this monument for my friend Tomas and for his magical band, who will remain with my heart and my memory till the end of my time here and beyond.” |
