AT THE GATES "With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness" [12" LP, Blue Marbled Vinyl]
2013 - Melodic Death/Gothenburg from Sweden
Detailed Description
Regarded as a highlight of the band's career by many who followed them from their earliest incarnation, With Fear I Kiss the Burning Darkness, was originally released in 1993. The album was known for its breakthrough style at the time, with highly complex melodic arrangements retaining a dark and brutal edge mixed with slight black metal overtones and poetic, philosophical lyrics suiting the tracks perfectly. The album also featured a guest appearance by Matti Karki of Dismember. Along with the album and bonus tracks (consisting of 2 live tracks and an early demo version of The Architects), this release includes new insightful liner notes by vocalist Tomas Lindberg, reflecting on the early days of the band, scene, and the making of the album.
