At The Gates Have No Plans To Record New Album

Melodic death metal band At The Gates have no current plans to record a new album, despite their numerous reunion shows in 2012.

In a recent interview with TheMusic, vocalist Tomas Lindberg did not completely rule out a future trip into the recording studio, but emphasised that right now the band was happy touring.

“The thing is, before we said that there's never going to be another At The Gates' record, that was at the time we said there was not going to be any more shows after 2008. We haven't even talked about it, but I've learned never say never,” he laughed. “But there are no plans now; we have not talked about doing a record.”

Lindberg said they wouldn't record another LP until they had something substantial to talk about through their music. Their last effort Slaughter Of The Soul is regarded as a death metal statement, which Lindberg and the band agree with.

“We can't just go in and write another album, record it and that's it. If we make another album it needs to be a statement as well. We need to make a statement for something, about something and really have that drive. Right now, it would be great to record another album because it would be fantastic to work together – we would have great fun. But I think at this date, we need to have something more… Find something to be that vocal about to make a statement.”
