Swedish Melodic Death Metallers AT THE GATES, have unveiled a music video for “Garden Of Cyrus”, directed by Costin Chioreanu of Twilight 13 Media. The track is taken off their latest studio album, “The Nightmare Of Being”, which was released on July 2nd via Century Media Records.

Vocalist Tomas Lindberg comments: “For our latest video, ‘Garden Of Cyrus’, we have once again chosen to work with our longtime partner Costin Chioreanu. And I think it is safe to say that this time he has truly outdone himself! It is a different song, at least in Death Metal terms, and of course it needed a different idea for the video. Once again, we let Costin do his own interpretation of the music and the lyrics, and he has taken us on a real psychedelic journey with this one.
I think this is the song on our latest album ‘The Nightmare Of Being’ that raised the most eyebrows in the metal community. And I am proud that we as a band can still surprise people, adding another dimension to our sound, without losing the essence of what AT THE GATES is.”
AT THE GATES will embark on a special “Slaughter Of The Soul” North American tour this summer. Originally planned for the 25th anniversary of “Slaughter Of The Soul” in 2020, the COVID-19 situation forced the band to postpone the trek until 2022.
“We have been looking forward to return to the US for several years now, and with a great tour package together with MUNICIPAL WASTE, ENFORCED & THROWN INTO EXILE, it is finally time. See you in the pit!”
The band will play the whole “Slaughter Of The Soul” album from start to finish, and also a mix of other tracks from its 30-plus-year career.
