Never compromising their vision, this is an album that once again captures the honesty and integrity that has defined AT THE GATES, making them one of the most significant extreme metal names of the past 25 years. True devotees have always been excited by the band’s willingness to be diverse; “At War With Reality” continues that tradition after 19 years of anticipation. With this long-awaited album, “the greatest Swedish Death Metal band ever reclaims their rightful throne” (Decibel Magazine).

The album’s first promotional video clip for the song “Death And The Labyrinth” was directed by Patric Ullaeus (In Flames, Arch Enemy, Lacuna Coil, etc.) and can be seen here: youtube.com/PromoVideo and here within Germany: muzu.tv/PromoVideo. The audio version of the track can now also be streamed via SoundCloud here: soundcloud.com/DeathAndTheLabyrinth
