Sad To Wake Up To See This News Today...Respect

One of the most underrated and quietly influential bands in the history of metal:

Tomas Lindberg of Swedish melodic death metal pioneers AT THE GATES has died after a battle with cancer, his family has confirmed to Swedish public service television company SVT Nyheter. He was 52 years old.

"Slaughter Of The Soul" is a nearly PERFECT metal record and if you don't know it...I highly recommend giving it a listen. In my opinion it altered the trajectory of modern metal music and set the genre on a fresh and exciting new path.

Goddam, that sucks. Very cool guy when I got to see him at an ATG show. Took the time to talk with fans and seemed very down to earth.
RIP

Dude was one of the greatest extreme metal singers in one of the most influential bands in extreme music.

Seems by all counts he was a hell of a human as well.

Huge fan of his work and I’m deeply saddened.

Slaughter of the Soul absolutely floored me and stayed in constant rotation for several years. Amazing band and a damn shame.

 

[psychodave]

Dang. RIP

Slaughter is such a killer album.

Now I have to go listen to it.

Wasn't familiar with him or his work but I read about his battle with cancer this a.m. For a guy who sang for his $ it was particularly brutal. No more suffering. RIP may the Lord speedily receive him.
