To Drink From the Night Itself

Released18 May 2018
Popularity49.7

To Drink From the Night Itself is the sixth studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band At the Gates, released on 18 May 2018. It arrived four years after At War With Reality, the record that followed the band's long gap after Slaughter of the Soul in 1995.

It marks a change in the line-up. Co-founding guitarist Anders Björler left in March 2017, and this is the first At the Gates album without him. In his place comes Jonas Stålhammar, who makes his debut on the record. For anyone following the band's story, it is the point where a founding voice steps aside and the group carries on regardless, and it leads straight into The Nightmare of Being in 2021.
