NEWS: At The Gates announce “The Ghost of a Future Dead”!

In loving memory of their vocalist, the legendary Tomas Lindberg who tragically passed away in September, Swedish Melodic Death Metal pioneers At The Gates have announced his final album “The Ghost of a Future Dead” will be with us on 24th April via Century Media. Recorded and mixed by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios (Kreator, Amon Amarth, Opeth), the follow-up to 2021’s “The Nightmare of Being” has been preceded by “The Fever Mask“, a track that has been combined with archive footage by Patric Ullaeus to create a music video.

The band comment: “We are proud to finally share some news about our eighth studio album, ‘The Ghost of a Future Dead’. The album will be released on April 24, 2026 – more than two years after it was completed in the studio.

As you all know, Tomas Lindberg passed away last year due to complications from his cancer treatment. Over the past few years, we worked closely with Tomas, discussing and refining every detail to ensure nothing was left to chance.

In accordance with Tomas’ wishes; including the album title, sound mix, track order, artwork, and overall presentation ‘The Ghost of a Future Dead’ remains true to form. It combines the ferocious energy and hard-hitting powerful melodies that is the essence of At The Gates. This album is Tomas’ legacy.

‘The Fever Mask’ was one of the final songs written for the album and quickly stood out as the natural choice for both the opening track and the first single for ‘The Ghost of a Future Dead’. It perfectly captures the essence of At The Gates, blending raw energy, strong melody and beautiful lyrics by Tomas”.
