Me and Jonas [Björler, bass] have THE HAUNTED as our main priority musically. Adrian [Erlandsson] was very busy in the past with CRADLE OF FILTH. Tomas [Lindberg, vocals] does DISFEAR and THE GREAT DECEIVER, etc. "I guess I realized this spring (2007), that if we were to pull this off at all it had to be planned way ahead — at least a year prior to the reunion becoming a reality. Since we have alot of other obligations with our other main bands, families, work/studies it was really important to plan this early to avoid any discomfort or stress on our end (as well as the people we work with in our other bands). The summer of 2008 is ideal. Especially for me and Jonas, since we are currently in the writing stage of the new THE HAUNTED album, which probably means we will record it before next summer. Adrian is no longer with CRADLE OF FILTH which means he is not tied up with extensive touring as he was in the past. This leaves summer 2008 pretty much open for a couple of AT THE GATES shows." A recently unearthed live show from AT THE GATES will form part of a limited-edition version of their classic 1995 album "Slaughter of the Soul", to be released on March 10 in Europe and March 25 in North America. Issued as a two-disc set containing the original album, six bonus songs and the 35-minute "The Making of Slaughter of the Soul" documentary, the release now boasts a full live set filmed live in Krakow, Poland on December 30, 1995 when the band toured with UNLEASHED. Professionally shot with high quality sound, the footage only recently came to light and shows the band in their prime, on the first of their many tours for the album. The setlist for the Krakow show was as follows: 01. Terminal Spirit Disease 02. Cold 03. The Swarm 04. Blinded By Fear 05. Nausea 06. Forever Blind 07. Need 08. Kingdom Gone YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! |
