# At the Gates

**At the Gates** is a melodic death metal band, from Sweden, active 1990 to present.

At the Gates is a Swedish melodic death metal band from Gothenburg, formed in 1990. The band was a major progenitor of the mid-90s Gothenburg Sound alongside Dark Tranquillity and In Flames. Prior to their first disbandment in 1996, At the Gates released four albums, with the last being Slaughter of the Soul (1995). The album has been seen as a landmark in the mid-1990s Swedish death metal scene. After reuniting in 2007, for what was initially a one-off tour in 2008, the band continued performing and released four additional studio albums: At War with Reality (2014), To Drink from the Night Itself (2018), The Nightmare of Being (2021) and The Ghost of a Future Dead (2026).
