When At the Gates confirmed that they would be recording a new album earlier this year with the classic Slaughter of the Soul lineup, the metal community collectively lost their shit. Now they’ve announced that they’ve wrapped up pre-production for their first album in 19 years, and are ready to commence recording At War With Reality. Guitarist Anders Bjorler checked in with the following update:

“So, things are getting closer to the recording of ‘At War With Reality’. We are currently rehearsing and putting the final touches to all the songs. This album is turning into a monster. It’s all coming together in a very satisfying way. Stay tuned for some studio updates in June/July.”

The band is expected to have the album out in October or November of this year on Century Media. We can’t wait.
