Founding member of At the Gates vocalist Tomas Lindberg passed on to the grey lands yesterday from complications of cancer treatment. History will remember him for their epic first album, The Red in the Sky is Ours, which created the atmospheric metal genre in a new form.
His final act was to record the new At the Gates album despite having part of his mouth removed:
“The last version of the vocals, the ones that will end up on the album, were recorded in ONE day, mostly one takes, the DAY before the surgery, just to make sure we HAD the album, so to speak,” the statement said. “So the vocals were actually recorded BEFORE the rest of the album…. a bit different, but it felt good to have it done.”
He went out in a metal way, and will be remembered well.

FUCK THE HOOD FUCK HIPHOP HAHAHA
I don’t think anyone cares about hiphop here, we’re mostly whites that don’t live in ghettos, I’m assuming.
I can’t believe I’m responding to the same shitty sockpuppet/bot you see in every other comment section, but it looks too stupid to be here (maybe that’s the point?), so someone had to step up.
At least you named yourself honestly.
Good luck in the afterlife
