HardcoreSounds.Net conducted an interview with vocalist Tomas Lindberg of the reactitvated Swedish metallers AT THE GATES at the eleventh annual edition of the Tuska open-air festival, which was held June 27-29 at the Kaisaniemi park in Helsinki, Finland. Watch the six-minute chat below.
Tomas Lindberg and AT THE GATES guitarist Martin Larsson appear on this week's "Bloody Roots" show on Sirius Satellite Radio's Hard Attack channel, discussing their 12-year hiatus, the decision to reunite for a number of summer 2008 shows, the rise of the fabled "Gothenburg" melodic death metal sound, and the upcoming U.S. release of Daniel Ekeroth's "Swedish Death Metal" book.
Highlights from the interview:
* Lindberg on the band's 1996 break-up: "We had a couple years of hard touring, and getting sick of each other on tour. Basically, if we would have been the age we are now, we could have just taken a break and chilled for a while. We were just so immature and totally at our own throats."
* Lindberg on the "Gothenburg sound": "There's a huge difference between AT THE GATES and IN FLAMES, as I hope everybody notices. We have a focus on the brutality. We're not only melody, we're a death metal band. The Gothenburg sound is to me like a non-existent entity. AT THE GATES, IN FLAMES, and DARK TRANQUILLITY, it's like three different worlds."
Remaining air times for the interview, which includes music by AT THE GATES as well as Lindberg's DISFEAR and GROTESQUE and Larsson's THIS QUIET EARTH:
Monday, July 21 at 10 p.m. (ET)
Tuesday, July 22 at 5 p.m. (ET)
"Bloody Roots" is a "heavy metal history lesson" airing four times weekly on Sirius Satellite Radio's Hard Attack, hosted by Ian Christe (Bazillion Points Books, Bazillion Points demo blog, author of "Sound Of The Beast").
