LOTR is whack, this stuff is classic.

[@roylopez5416]

Yea buddy this album was out when I was in highschool I'm 40 now they are dope if you dig them the guitar player and bass player are twin brothers and made the band the haunted they fking rock

[@perplexedmoth]

I discovered both LOTR and ATG around the same time at the turn of the millenium (late 90s, early 2000s). LOTR and Gothenborg Death Metal, along with many other things. Fanzines, fantasy art, sword & sorcery/weird fiction, table-top roleplaying games, occult. My brain was full on high without drugs.

"Blinded By Fear" 'We are blind to the World within us, Waiting to be born' I cast aside my chains Fall from reality Purgatory unleashed Now burn the face of the earth Purgatory unleashed Now burn the face of the earth[Chorus:] The face of all your fears All your fears unleashed The face of all your fears Born of the demon sky Twisting reality Sweet nauseating pain Is death the only release? Nauseating pain Is death the only release?[Chorus] The face of all your fears I cast aside my chains Fall from reality Suicidal disease The face of all your fears Now covered with sores Humanity exiled Purgatory unleashed Now burn the face of the earth Purgatory unleashed Now burn the face of the earth[Chorus]

[@scottyjones4428]

Arch Enemy listened to these guys for inspiration...can't ya tell? Lots of Melodic Death Metal got their inspiration from em

[@albatrossyglossy]

Drummers of both bands are brothers

[@scottyjones4428]

[@thrashefe3523]

Arch Enemy's guitarist was in Carcass before them

[@antinpcraidresponse]

I would imagine Arch Enemy is a awesome inspiration!

[@IvanMartinez-ep2ks]

TBDM vibes I mean I'm not comparing, both bands are great but the phrasing in this song reminds me a lot of Trevor. Anyway ... HAIL AT THE GATES! 🦖

[@danielblake1537]

Well damn!! Right off the bat I hear a riff I guess the band "Through The Eyes Of The Dead" took for one of their songs it sounds identical

[@wickedawesomeo]

Such a amazing song!

Love how these guys are a little bit black metal too. But they're Melo death.

[@FloBotschek]

Melodic Death Metal in its Perfectation. Before Melodic Death Metal existed

[@Fo-Flats]

It's infancy. Yes I agree. I was there fully involved in the scene. I still remember buying this album when it came out. Nothing can take this away.

[@oblakostraha]

In Flames в 2022м сделали на эту песню неплохой кавер с новым текстом и названием "The State of slow decade" :))

[@thecrazzxz3383]

lmao, yes it looks like it-

[@mayhem5235]

At the gates my favourite melodic death metal and metalcore emo band of Swedish.....

[@hellfire8883]

I think it's awesome you dig ATG. Blinded by fear tends to be many ppls favorite upon first listen. The whole album is amazing. I used to get stoned and listen to this album. Certain tracks like the obscure into the dead sky and Trippy songs like Under a serpent sun mesmerized me when I would look at these specific websites that had psychedelic shapeshifting pieces of artwork and other trippy psychedelic things meant to expand your mind and entertain oneself while high, tripping, or even sober. I'm just wondering where you get "metalcore emo band" when referring to At The Gates? . If you are trying to say that, of all bands in Sweden, At the Gates is your favorite then I understand. Otherwise metalcore and emo do not relate to the Swedish Melodic death metal that At the Gates prescribes too.

[@Iyashikei-t4u]

@@hellfire8883 He probably means all of those metalcore bands from the 2000's that ripped them off. They were actually the main influence of that particular era

[@thecrazzxz3383]

Emo ? lmao

[@thecrazzxz3383]

Emo don't watch animes, fool ! Nerd Emo does !

[@chrispavlos]

Vocalist sounds like an angrier version of Kreator lolll

That intro was unnecessary, who could possibly want to hear it more than once? The actual song is fantastic of course.
