At The Gates Announce Australian Tour Dates

Melodic death metal pioneers At The Gates are returning to our shores for an Australian tour in 2015, armed with their latest slab of iron, At War With Reality.

Sweden’s finest will play a whirlwind five show, five day run this October, spanning Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, which will see them catapulted into a new state each day.

The tour marks the second time the veterans have visited Australia since coming back from an 11-year hiatus in 2007, with their last tour in 2012 yielding comeback studio album, At War With Reality, which was released last year.

“We don’t really have what you would call ‘hits songs’,” vocalist Tomas Lindberg told Neuweltmusic earlier this year. “But I think the strength of this record is the diversity of emotions that it portrays, ’cause this kind of music usually is just angry — 24/7 angry — and we wanna portray a lot more melancholy and desperation…”.

“There’s even some hope in some of the songs, some triumphant hope. So I think the diversity is the strength of the record.”

Tickets to At The Gates’ 2015 Australian Tour go onsale from this Friday, 27th March via Metropolis Touring. Check out the official Facebook event page here.
