At The Gates - The Ghost of a Future Dead - Album Cover

Ah, the RMR n00b carousel is turning again in 2026. Who would have thought that? This time with At The Gates, destroying metal objects since 1990 with some significant absences in between. Yet another band with a proven track record furthering the metal cause. But one that – for some reason – did not make it onto our roster until now.

So, what about a little excursion into ritualistic territory? We may invoke some abysmal thing dispatched to this mortal coil, after all. A real demon, perhaps?

And no spellbook will save you, … [...] Click to raid more!
