  • looks like MTV died a long time ago :/

  • Very melodish.

  • the shirt is pentragram of chile!!! \m/

  • Back then MTV - Metal Television

    Today - Mainstream Television

  • well i have to admit as a black metal fan this is very black for death metal XD but still nice ^^

  • ahhh back when mtv wasn't garbage

  • @skannon ehmm.....black metal?! its swedish death metal!!!!!!!!!! learn what you listen too! epic fail dude....

  • @SvennePung It would be fair to call it black/death metal. The black metal influence is clearly there. Lot's of swedish bands straddled the lines between the genres. Dissection, Necrophobiac etc.

  • @ReoTheCreator the lyrics is not black metal so just stfu dude death metal is death metal!

  • Back when MTV was more into music than "reality" shows

  • why doesnt mtv play this kind of stuff anymore...

  • @PureHayabusa because people have become soft and gay and listen to fucking justin bieber

  • @xxmanuelvaldesxx agreed with that this is purely the truth \m/

  • @xxmanuelvaldesxx i agree my friend.. i absolutely agree

  • @PureHayabusa Satan only knows.

  • MTV once had big balls to play real, true, hard and kick ass music.

    

  • Mtv2 Headbangers Ball (Y)

  • this is Nazi music lol

  • they were much better back then..sure SOTS is considered their "masterpiece" and is still good in many respects but nothing from that album matches the pure unadulterated brutality coming from this album

  • @ethanissoamazing nevertheless i would sleep with every single album of them :D

    i think it's blasphemy to even dare to try to compare their albums

  • Back when MTV was good and played music..good music at that (sighs)

  • Extremely bad quality... for those who didn't notice =)

  • @holtangutten gee wizz, thank you!

  • See this is the kinda music i HATE along Rap,HipHop and RnB... I do listen a lot of In Flames (have been a jesterhead for 5 years), myGRAIN, DT, ABR, Disarmonia Mundi and all that kinda stuff, but this.... There are no words to describe this, this just fucks with my ears and i simply CANNOT understand it. There´s too much going on and nothing doesn´t make sense.

  • @kaylin1001 theres not much difference between this and in flames early stuff.

  • @kaylin1001

    You just took the words out of my mouth and described my favourite band very good. Thats the reason why i love em.

  • @kaylin1001 ok...want a cookie?

  • @kaylin1001 How enlightening.

  • Woagh didn't know this video existed.

  • hehehehehehe so funny idios singersssssssssssss

  • I miss Headbanger's Ball...

  • wow this is amazing, i like the melo death music along with the vocalist's nice black metal scream here

  • ha look at the silhouette close by 1:14, the fourth dude looks like murderface from the animated metal show Metalocalypse xD

  • I didn't know that MTV played music.

  • KINGODM...FUCKING....GONE

  • he sounds just like anders friden in the whoracle era !

  • @MommiMan more like the other way around lol

  • @MommiMan when anders sounded.....more to my liking..jotun was an awesome track i love that album

  • holy fuck!?!?!? mtv used to play fucking at the gates!?!?! my god our generation has gone down the shit hole... i click on headbangers ball now a days and get fuckin scene kid shit

  • @80smetalchild i know right!!fuck that hot topic emo shit, and NOW black ppl are getting into all that! fuck the 20th century i wana live in the 80s n get to see iron maiden live =D rather be surounded by lether jackets then homos with rainbow n stupid hair>.<

  • @80smetalchild thank god for that huh? i was suggested these guys and well this shit sucks dick sorry

  • @TheFeeez21

    well then you must not be into much death metal, because this is one of the best death metal songs of all time

  • @80smetalchild maybe im not i guess... not for me i guess nothing impressive about it at all... just my opinion

  • This sounds like it was recorded on a cassette tape, then played over a mono loudspeaker into an answering machine.

  • @vikingshred how'd you know!?

  • the black dahlia murder in my opinoin is actually a great band. but seriously fuck scene kids....they dont even deserve to be shot by samuel l jackson.

  • @ButcheredAtBirth77 hell yeah finally someone else. I fucking hate how dahlia is so underrated because of their majority faggot fanbase. great metal from detroit rock fucking city!!!

  • Sounds like Lemming Project...I can hear their influence...

  • this is fucking sweet!

  • MTV played music once?!

  • @Jasonater1

    Kinda shocking, isn't it

  • @Jasonater1 haha, thats the first thought which came to my mind.... its been a long time

  • @Jasonater1 LOL, yes MTV at one point actually did play GOOD music.

  • @Jasonater1 yes, there has been a proportional decrease of the quality of the music on mtv to the video quality increasing

  • Your right they did use to play music now it's just a lot of baloney.

  • Back in the day, metal was heavy !

  • @NearbyHermit it still is but the media no longer supports it, one must venture on their own to find such treasures

  • oh how mtv has fallen. smfh.

  • I really like metal, and I listen to good stuff (opeth, devin townsend, cynic, gojira etc) and have recently been checking out at the gates. Their other songs are pretty awesome, but IN MY OPINION this song is really terrible. Maybe its just the quality

  • @r3dshrapnel Or maybe it's just you. This isn't from Slaughter of the Soul. This song is from their debut album The Red in the Sky is Ours, which is the best thing they've ever done. SOTS is their sellout album, which is probably why you like it so much.

  • @BrimstoneLandscapes what makes you think i like SOTS at all? All i'm saying is that this song sounds terrible. I can't understand how people can like music when the quality is this low. I mean, the music is awesome, but you can't hear shit because of the quality

  • @r3dshrapnel I'm sorry, I thought you were supposed to listen to music for the music and not for the studio engineering. My bad.

  • @BrimstoneLandscapes yeah, but there is honestly a limit to how bad the quality can get. I love Burzum for example, and the sound quality is per say on purpose. This is just embarissing.

  • @r3dshrapnel If you listened to the actual album then you would know the quality is better than this. Same guitar tone, however. Just clearer sound.

  • @r3dshrapnel I hear ya man, back in the day peaceville used to promote the worst ATG tracks. I dunno why they made a vid for this song and not "windows" which is fucking spine-chillingly awesome. Same thing happened on the following albums too, sending promos out with fevered circle on it which is the worst track on terminal spirit disease. Earache did a much better job of promoting ATG in my opinion.

  • Comment removed

  • back in the day when MTV actually played music

  • i remember there used to be a section of this MTV show 'Into the Pit'.... now that was fucking savage!!

  • MTW would have so many more viewers if they just played metal, they ruined it with label driven pop culture. Those fucking idiots....

    At The Gates on the other hand is pure fucking brutality!

  • @gamebeetle

    Actually, this was a totally understandable choice : pop makes more money than metal, for sure...

  • @gamebeetle couldn't agree more.......MTV couldn't resist the temptation in profiting the that culture of pop which sucks.....

  • Fuck this brings back memories.

  • If you like this video, you'll love the scene videos I have on my channel. SCENE KIDS 4 LIFE!!!! Btw this is a Black Dahlia Murder rip off but its still okay i guess

  • @KarlSandersIsMyGod your a fucking idiot, if anything its the other way around not that i have anything against the black dahlia murder in fact i really like em, also scene kids are whats killing music they are a bunch of trendy tools who are turning music into a fashion show

  • @KarlSandersIsMyGod no you fucking idiot, at the gates started in 1990, the black dahlia murder started 10 years later in 2000, so if anything its the other way around, and also scene kids are trendy tools who are trying to make music a fashion show

  • @darkwolftheavenger Don't feed the troll, he posts that comment on pretty much every At The Gates video.

  • @KarlSandersIsMyGod you a completely ignorant moron if you think, At the Gates is scene, and At the Gates came first and just becuase there is screaming doesnt mean every other band that does sounds the same.

  • MTV died of two reasons:

    1) The regreted death of Chuck Schuldiner ( Death Vocalist/Guitar )

    2) At The Gates quiting !

  • KINGDOM FUCKING GONE!

  • must be the most epic video Mtv ever showed!

  • THIS IS SO BAD LOL

  • I wish they played good songs on mtv now too.

  • Wow, black and white even. When I was listening to this back in the day, I would have been stoked on this video. Now it just looks like garbage. Still sounds bad ass though!

  • on mtv?!?!?!

    shit i bet nobody remembers this video then.

  • i also find it amazing that they are one of the bands to truely harness B tuning along with Carcass.

  • to be honest i liked SotS. i thought it was extremely well written. I thought that TSD was there best work though. i feel that WFIKTBD and before should be remastered immensly. certainly one of the greatest metal bands of all time. i have to say though out of the three who wouldve thought Dark Tranquility would be the only going still with relatively the same. God if only ATG stayed together they would own all of metal

  • wow people look really awesome when they sing death metal without holding a microphone. Why don't death metal guys use mic stands unless they're playing a guitar?

  • Sorry to Poo on the Party, they were and still are Death Metal, no silly sub genres, they didnt exist and should not exist.

    It was Death back then when I saw them, it is now.. Sorry.. It annoys me that bands I grew up with being relabelled into catagories that make me cringe

  • wtf their on MTV?!?!? :o

  • You obviously know nothing about melodic death if you call at the gates pathetic,gothenburg metal is pioneer melodeath and best melodeath(at the gates,dark tranquillity,in flames(old))

  • this reminds me of when I was just starting out...

  • What the hell are you on about man. At the gates are one of the most legendary bands ever. Listen to the album slaughter of the soul. One of the best albums ever made. They created melodic death metal.

  • I think everything they did prior to SotS was killer. SotS was pretty mediocre in comparison.

  • @heresyisprogress,ya , WFiKtBD and Terminal Spirit Disease are both way better than SotS, all of their older albums are in need of some serious remastering though.

  • @philipkeaveney777 you are stupid... you know before slaughter, they did terminal (for more mainstream fans and... the red in the sky, underated of course...

  • why is that phatetic? what kind of music are you into? if you listen to stuff like lady gaga, please gtfo.

  • i really like this video specialy the singer, looks really heavy

  • I dont understand why the fuck every more successful bands are called posers!?!?

  • Because they only drag poser fans

  • Because there are these people who i like to call "haters" They hate something that is good, just because everyone else likes it and to be different. I hate people like that.

  • you hater...

  • wow.. i haven't seen this video before.. that's kinda surprising ATG made video for a song from their first album :D

  • lol poser

    tho the song is awsome

  • Who's the poser?

  • This is pretty good.

  • The red in the sky is ours must be one of the best albums ever!

  • This was their most technical album,they worked so much on this one,but I like Slaugther a lot more,it's more melodic than pure death.

  • wow, MTV played this....like in the 90's or what?

  • lol

  • this isnt the best example of at the gates talent. listen to there song cold. its better than most of the shit thats out there. e.g napalm death

  • And what, might I ask, is wrong with the grindcore masters: Napalm Death??

  • they suck?

  • No, the worst example of At The Gates would be from the generic Slaughter Of The Soul. The Red In The Sky on the other hand, isn't only At The Gates best album, but one of the most incredible extreme metal albums of all time.

  • @mjonas10 wtf are you smoking? The Red in the sky was their second best work behind Slaughter of the Soul. Hence, why so many metal magazines have regarded it as one of the greatest metal albums of all time. You must have feces in your ears if your not able to hear the difference. Melody, song writing, production, mixing, synchronization, drumming, was all at ATG's best when Slaughter of the Soul came out.

  • Dear god please tell me your trolling there is no way anybody is going to take your comment seriously....../facepalm. Get taste scenefag

  • this is not pure black metal, i don't even care what it is, it's great

    but it's NOT black metal.

  • Thrash-ish xD

  • I think this is the only band in the world that started as gods and ended samely!

    At The Gates ended in full glory!

  • :O black metal ATG didnt know that

  • Darkthrone started with death in Soulside Journey.

    One of the ATG members is also wearing a Darkthrone shirt on the original sleeve of this...

  • Holy shit, didn't recognize Adrian Erlandsson with short hair.

  • Comment removed

  • GRAET BAND!

  • i honestly think this is some kind of melodic death metal fused with black metal.

    this sounds too old school and raw to be melodic death metal.

    this can't seriously be in the same genre as scar symmetry!! (i have nothing against that band though)

  • Yes, I'd call it black metal influenced avant garde old school death metal that is also melodic ;)

    Whatever, definitely not melodeath though.

  • Stop pigeon holing things, everything comes under several genres, I'd call it black metal, but that's not to say its not death metal as well.

    What does matter is, its awesome :D though the sound quality on this vid seems a bit low so I think ill dig up my audio file for it.

  • This band has gone trough several metal genres... but I don't feel this song brutal enough to be death, do you?

  • hence why I said I would call it black :D

  • at the gates have always been melodic and technical death metal asshole. you're confusing brutal death metal with the all death metal. and still there are brutal death metal songs less heavier than this one

  • Guess what, I don't really give a fuck, dipshit

  • then why do you said that type of bullshit assface?? if you're to ignorant, just keep your mouth shut

  • your mom

  • In my opinion, slaughter of the soul is the only melodic shit they put out.

  • Terminal Spirit disease is quite melodic to.

  • how many ATG albuns have you been listening?

  • With fear i kiss the burning darkness and slaughter of the soul.. all I need

  • so true.

    In other albums they had 2 or 3 at max songs with melodic rythms

  • when mtv was cool

  • When MTV played music videos

  • This is the real At The Gates.

  • HAHAHAHA

    A T Shirt of Pentagram!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sweet!

  • ATG rulez.

    thank you for sharing this!

  • its black metal riffs.i i know.

  • incredibly that this video was played once by MTV, it's so fuckin' great!

  • if you like this song go on web and search PENTAGRAM, the chileand bamd

  • this old song sounds like black metal though

  • BIBO BELAQUE METALE

  • maybe the best song on the debut.

  • wow they played black metal on mtv?

  • That's not black metal, it's melodic death metal/ gothenborger metal

  • ok so obviously you stupid people dont think this is black metal, i guess youve never heard black metal.

  • I fucking love this song!! To bad they split up

  • Comment removed

  • Amazing... like it's 91 and I'm 19 again... fuck I'm old.... lmao..

  • you are never too old to rock :D

  • HOLY SHIT!!! i never knew there was a video for this song =]

  • metal on mtv? O.O in my own life i remember just a Blind Guardian video on mtv and was at the 3:00 of the night

  • The only metal band i've seen appearing on mtv, is Moonspell.

    They are portuguese, maybe thats why they are the only metal band that is shown on Mtv here in Portugal,

    (sorry for stupid english)

  • mtv has a program called headbangers ball that they show every thursday here in denmark haha

  • Yeah We have that program here too but they only show stupid bands like linkin park, korn... :S

  • fucking hate those bands....here they play 80's hair metal only...its good but black metal would be cooler

  • Black Metal is not very welcome to society here..people are so ignorant that they don't understand a shit about what is going on music. So as a consequence they follow what is popular! That irritates me!!!!

    Sorry if my english is not correct :x

  • tecnically they started the genre melodic deathmetal with a couple of other bands like inflames. but I understand where you are going.

  • Those are pop bands. Fuck them...and fuck ignorant people too!!! MUWAHAHAHAA

    ;)

  • A part is cut :/

  • aw MTV, what happened?

  • hiphop happened

  • this is the shit. ATG fuckin rulez. great video.

  • i saw tht clip in 1993 :) Then i was reborn into a polish headbanger.Now i'm 33 y old (still metal) prick.Thanx 4 that clip

  • EXELENTE¡¡¡¡

  • I know that they're one of the pioneers of the Gothenburg sound,but I think that their last two albums(Terminal Spirit Disease,Slaughter of the Soul)are the only ones,who show their melodeath-side.
