Saw At The Gates with Dissection in '96 and they fuckin' owned. SOTS is just killer from start to finish.

It was a shit show but every now and then they'd have good bands on. At the Gates came on one time so I bought the album because it was fucking heavy!

First time i saw ATG live was at an MTV sponsored gig at Nottingham Rock City, where they were second on a bill with Chorus Of Ruin, Anathema And MY Dying Bride. Talk about put a band on the wrong bill Maybe this is what you saw on MTV?????
Still, ATG were everything i could have hoped for.

Nah it wasn't a gig, it was just a music video. I can't believe I've forgot the name of the song!

It starts off with like 16 seconds of some horrible sample playing, then the song kicks in really fast.

EDIT - I've just looked on Google and I think it was "Blinded by Fear", but it's been that long since I've listened to that album I really can't be sure.

I'm shocked that anyone still exists who doesn't know who ATG are or own their entire back catalogue!
Amazing band. Sadly their legacy has been to spawn loads of shite like The Haunted, but great in their day. Terminal Spirit Disease is my favourite album, SOTS is a masterpiece too.

Um, do you know The Haunted was founded by the Björler brothers of ATG?

Of course, and I wish they hadn't. The first two albums are good but don't make up for the utter crap that they've put out since.

amazing band
