AT THE GATES ANNOUNCE THE RETURN OF FOUNDING MEMBER AND GUITARIST ANDERS BJÖRLER

EUROPEAN TOUR WITH IN FLAMES BEGINS NEXT MONTH

AT THE GATES vocalist Tomas Lindberg Redant comments the news:

“It is with great pleasure we welcome Anders Björler, one of the founding members, back into the band. We are excited to tell you that we are already starting the work on the follow up to The Nightmare of Being, with the same line up that wrote Terminal Spirit Disease, Slaughter of the Soul, and At War with Reality. Anders’ first show back in the band will be Damnation Fest in the UK, and he will join us on the European tour together with IN FLAMES later this year. Great times! It really feels like a second rebirth of the band, and we are looking forward to this new chapter!”

Anders Björler added the following comment:

“It feels like coming home for sure. I have been missing the guys of course, but also playing the guitar, writing music and the artistic creativity in general. I’ve been watching from the sidelines for a number of years, and I’ve been very proud of what they have created in my absence. I am really looking forward to writing a new album and getting back to playing live shows again.”

Next up, AT THE GATES will appear at UK’s Damnation festival before embarking on a massive tour across Europe featuring IN FLAMES, IMMINENCE and ORBIT CULTURE between 12th November and 17th December 2022 as follows:

“We are very excited about finally being able to play in front of our European fans in support of our latest album The Nightmare Of Being. This time we will hit the road with our long-time friends IN FLAMES. It’s such a weird fact that we have actually never toured together, although we are from the same town! So this will be a great opportunity to experience “The Gothenburg sound”, and it is awesome to be part of such a strong package. We can’t wait to get out there again!”
