At The Gates recently wrapped up their new album, and now vocalist Tomas Lindberg is giving us some insight into what it'll sound like! In a recent interview with Messed Up Music Magazine, Lindberg said the new record is somewhere between At War With Reality and To Drink From the Night Itself, though with much more progressive and krautrock influences.
For those unaware of what Lindberg is referencing below, Goblin is an Italian progressive rock band that formed in 1972 and "Neu" is probably referencing Neu!, the German krautrock band.
"The upcoming album is somewhere in between, something that continues on the concept we started on the two previous albums where we incorporated much more of our proggy, krauty and avant-gardist influences," said Lindberg. "Just to give you the picture of how it sounds; one song goes by the nickname 'the Goblin song,' another we call 'the Neu song'.
"But I promise you we don’t take it too far, people wouldn’t listen to it if we did (laugh). When we were in the studio we told Jens Bogren to keep the gritty sound and the attack from the last record and put the overall sound in between the comeback records. And it sounds awesome!"
Lindberg said the new album will probably be released "somewhere between May and in the middle of the summer."
