Thanks to Guitar World magazine, this month’s Guitar World helped introduced me to this Swedish death metal band called, At The Gates. I’ve read that interview and really liked it! After reading about their 1995 album, “Slaughter of The Soul” which is considered an important album of their career, it intrigued me and was good enough for me wanting to give the album a listen myself. Yesterday, I grabbed their “Slaughter of the Soul” album by At The Gates from Itunes and I couldn’t stop listening to it since. I’m listening to it right now as I type this actually.

Ya know, I love metal and heavy music but I was never really into death metal much. I was just into regular heavy metal without the screaming and growling but I can take, At The Gates. At The Gates is a pretty listenable and enjoyable band. Their pretty melodic, tight and fun to listen to. I even enjoy the screaming vocals too! I’m not into death metal hardly at all but this band I can take!!!

“Slaughter of the Soul” really is one of the best metal albums of all time. If you enjoy metal, you’d probably dig this album too.

After listening to this album several times already, I thought to myself, “Maybe death metal isn’t all that bad after all???”. Maybe I should get into death metal more. At The Gates is a great band and makes me want to get more of their music. Soon, I’ll get their newest album that they released earlier this year called, “At War With Reality”.

This is why I love reading Guitar World magazine, they helped turn me onto a lot of bands I never heard of before. I’ve been reading Guitar World magazine for many years and still read that magazine on a monthly basis to this very day. It’s a great magazine.
