Swedish death metal pioneers At the Gates officially announced the return of their founding member and guitarist Anders Björler from the band.
Formed in 1990, the band majored their progenitor of Gothenburg-style melodic death metal with Björler, providing intense and gnarly music to fans.
At the Gates posted. "Founding member and guitarist Anders Björler is returning to the AT THE GATES line-up after a handful of years of absence."
"It is with great pleasure we welcome Anders Björler, one of the founding members, back into the band." Tomas Lindberg Redant said. "We are excited to tell you that we are already starting the work on the follow up to "The Nightmare of Being", with the same line up that wrote "Terminal Spirit Disease", "Slaughter of the Soul" and "At War with reality".
"Anders' first show back in the band will be Damnation Fest in the UK in November, and he will join us on the European tour together with In Flames later this year. Great Times! It really feels like a second rebirth of the band, and we are looking forward to this new chapter!" He said.
Björler acknowledged, "It feels like coming home for sure. I have been missing the guys of course, but also playing the guitar, writing music and the artistic creativity in general. I've been watching from the sidelines for a number of years, and I've been very proud of what they have created in my absence. I am really looking forward to writing a new album and getting back to playing live shows again..."
