Description
THE DEBUT ALBUM OF BRUTAL MELODIC DEATH METAL FROM THE HIGHLY INFLUENTIAL SWEDISH MASTERS - FEATURING NEWLY REMASTERED AUDIO FROM DAN SWANO AT UNISOUND.
At The Gates formed in Gothenburg, 1990, becoming one of the finest bands to explode out of their native Swedish death metal scene. At The Gates released 4 highly successful & influential studio albums before the band broke up in 1996 - with members featuring in acts such as Cradle of Filth & The Haunted - before later reforming in 2007 for some successful reunion shows which resulted in multiple comeback albums, until the recent passing of one of the pillars of the scene, Tomas Lindberg.
Born from the ashes of the band 'Grotesque', the style of the band evolved into technical brutality of the highest order. After extensive early touring, it wasn't long before UK underground label Peaceville Records offered them a deal. The debut album 'The Red In The Sky Is Ours' was released in 1992 on Peaceville/Deaf to widespread acclaim; the inclusion of violin sounds ensuring that the album scored points for originality, & was innovatively offset by the intensely brutal yet melodic sound, with standout track 'Kingdom Gone' becoming a universal favourite.
'The Red In The Sky Is Ours' is a raw slab of extremity with intense aggression & some highly intricate melodic arrangements, considered a genre classic by many.
This edition of 'The Red In The Sky Is Ours' is presented on jewel case CD format including booklet matching the original release, & includes newly (band-approved) remastered audio courtesy of the also legendary Dan Swano at Unisound Studios.
