[gaburrito]

Im from mexico and i can say that this band is one of the best bands in live performances that i ever seen :P greetings from tijuana !!!

[novembrine1]

Is only me or everything played today so fucking boring? Even masterpieces like this one?

Have u noticed the audience and that curly haired guy playing the 2nd guitar? There'd be more head-banging and violence at a blues concert!! Fuck off!!

[BaraPontus2LOL]

@novembrine1 huh?

[gioslab]

@novembrine1 if you want real violence grab a huge rock and hit yourself with it moron !

[Mailyn666]

@novembrine1 The boredom is not inside of this video. It's inside of your soul, my friend. Think about it...

[pearldude729]

@novembrine1 my good sir, it is evident to me that you are either not a musician, or a completely ignorant one. for many of the people at this show, it would have been their first and only opportunity to ever see this monumental performance. im all for moshing and going ape-shit, but if i were there, i wouldn't have wanted to miss a second of this performance because i was too busy pushing people around

[pearldude729]

Respond to this video... hey dude...when the video was recorded for upload, it was uploaded way too hot (too much input gain). thats why its distorting so much. any chance you could re-upload it and ease off the gain a bit?

[BaraPontus2LOL]

@pearldude729 how do i change the gain? :P

[erionherieth]

[AnOldShooe]

[furysdrummer]

@AnOldShooe who the fuck cares do you know how lucky you are to be ABLE to attend at the gatse i live in Alaska and I would give anything to be able to go. Dont miss out on it dude

[Legion1388]

[REIDOPLANETA]

@EmptySoulRSR he does good sir, he does!!

[ancook58]

Mine was Moonshield by In flames.

[BaraPontus2LOL]

@ancook58 awesome :D

[Janigtanfs007]

So fucking epic !

[thejuryissleepless]

damn 3rd grade? it took me until 5th grade to hear metal for the first time! That's awesome. I think im going to go find a middle school and litter At the Gates CDs everywhere.... muuahhhahahhahahaha

[cobhatebreeder]

I lost my metal virginity to this song. I was a lost kid in 3rd grade and I didn't know what kind of music I really liked. My friend showed me this song off Gardens of Grief, and when those blasts came in at 1:41 my head exploded. It was then that I knew I would be a metalhead for life.

[BaraPontus2LOL]

@cobhatebreeder hehe nice story, mine is boring: My first metal song was from...metallica I think :P

I can't remember really :P

[0BLACKSABBATH]

@BaraPontus2LOL Better than mine.... Mine was duality by slipknot

i thought it was rock so i was into alternative till i heard bolt thrower and cannibal corpse, i was like :OOOO fuck yea

[skyskraper31]

@cobhatebreeder Lucky bastard. Mine was Korn...yuck lol. Needless to say my tastes have evolved since then :)

[AdiF50Ronaldo7]

@cobhatebreeder The first 3 metal songs I heard were Reroute to Remain by In Flames, Blooddrunk by COB and Awaken by Dethklok.

[19Nbsa92]

Daaamn he's a legendary vocalist

[IconW]

I LOVE YOU CHUCK NORRIS!

[exitingforward]

without these dudes, you wouldn't of had "deathcore" as we know it. freaking love this band!

[Azria032]

I would love to lose my virginity to these guys

[Tremuoso]

This is just harrowing. Tomas' voice just slays compared to the time when he was a youngster and recorded this. This has always been a fucking mean song, but in 2008 it sounded like the meanest shit ever conceived.

[BaraPontus2LOL]

@Tremuoso meh...hmm...I think that his "youngster voice" was more...unique. His voice here is awesome too, but it's nothing compared to his 90's vocals....IMO

his voice is unique

[Tremuoso]

@BaraPontus2LOL Gotta respectfully disagree with you on that one, Tompa has always been one of my favourite metal vocalists anyway, but his voice now in his new band Disfear sounds even more evil than it ever has. Back in the days of Gardens of Grief he was still learning his craft.

[BaraPontus2LOL]

@Tremuoso his voice sounds so...monotone (?) nowadays, his voice was more variated back in the 90's imo, his vocal range was different and more...emotional...

His voice on the Nightrage albums sounds the same in most of the songs there...the same screaming/growling techniques....imo

or maybe I'm deaf or stupid? ;P

[neuraxianfusion]

@Tremuoso I have to respectfully disagree with you, depending on your preference here. I think for the average guy who likes his metal like he likes his rock 'n' roll, with each rhythmic emphasis being precise and crisply played, and with a very glossy presentation so that the aesthetic is crystal clear, even if some of the manners in which texture and timbre can add to anticipation are sacrificed, this is great! But to those who like more subtlety, not so much.

[hkja99]

Thanks for sharing this... a pleasure to listen to and watch

[BaraPontus2LOL]

@hkja99 you're welcome :) aTG'S MUSIC IS AWESOME....oops, caps lock

[TheDaviant]

is it just me, or can you listen to this song over and over again

[BaraPontus2LOL]

@TheDaviant me too :)

[tehmudkipz213]

Too bad they fell apart, they would have been 10x better than nowadays melodeath bands.

Keep it metal \m/

[BaraPontus2LOL]

@tehmudkipz213 indeed...indeed ^^ Their songs are so....unique

[80smetalchild]

@BaraPontus2LOL

agreed. while i still follow the melo-death scene and still love it. the bands arent doing anything different. bands like norther and kalmah sound to much like old cob. the gothenburg scene is cluttered with followers of the gothenburg kings. and so on

[BaraPontus2LOL]

@80smetalchild indeed, that's why I'm mostly listening to metal from 1990-1999.....those years where best imo....hmm....

[Leichestein]

@tehmudkipz213 Children of Bodom's an amazing melodeath band, also Norther, Skyfire, Soilwork

[ShmoofingFabsee]

:o wow...

[BaraPontus2LOL]

@ShmoofingFabsee breathtakingly awesome ;P

[Faze390]

Pontus!!!! Long time no talk! I was just looking at At The Gates videos, and I found this one

[BaraPontus2LOL]

@Faze390 indeed, whazzup? ^^ I'll only upload this clip from the DVD, I don't wanna loose this channel too :S

I use my other channel for that....How are you? ^^

[darkmessjah]

nice cursed III shirt :)

[railertoros]

Tompa for the vocals of Bloodbath! Mikael may well crush our skulls with his evil guitar parts, along with Blakkheim

[crimsontower]

I saw them 3 times during this tour, first gig ever in 12 years at Sweden Rock Festival, then here at Wacken and finally in Malmö Sweden Kulturbolaget

im happy i did

[BaraPontus2LOL]

@crimsontower I missed them (the touring) :(

[big10190]

this song song is 3x better live than on studio recording

[BaraPontus2LOL]

@big10190 meh, the studio version is epic ;)

[neuraxianfusion]

@big10190 Maybe when they played it live back in the day. Now it sort of sounds normalized to every other rock 'n'... oops, I mean "metal" band that is out there. Typewriter drums? Check. Vocals with no variance in the individual texture of each syllable, but just a straight bark that's only function is to let you know "THIS SONG HAS HARSH VOCALS SO ITS EXTREME!"? Check. Useless flourishes added to the end of solos that were supposed to enhance structural narrative? Check.

[BaraPontus2LOL]

@neuraxianfusion "Vocals with no variance in the individual texture of each syllable, but just a straight bark that's only function is to let you know "THIS SONG HAS HARSH VOCALS SO ITS EXTREME!"? Check."

indeed

[favsncrap]

@neuraxianfusion Well I was there and it absolutetly rocked .. yeh maybe the soundboard has changed it abit and also putting it onto a dvd and then reencoding it when it was uploaded onto youtube to what? ermmm prob 90 - 128 kbps or variable rate... also i can hear a ton of distortion that happens to be on this clip only..

[BaraPontus2LOL]

@favsncrap the distortion comes when the drums kick in :/

at "gone now, swept away..."

[xblasterblabla]

epic...

[BaraPontus2LOL]

@xblasterblabla hell yeah ^__^

[TiANr0ckst4r]

Best Band In The World!! Of Course...What Can U Expect When They Have Chuck Norris's Son On Vocals?? Jajajajajaj XD EPICNESS!!!!

[xSpiritWithinx]

Ah classick.And It's great I don't have to type this is sick because in the word classick is already wordk sick.They've never left our hearts!12 years was worth of waiting!

[VincentVolaju]

holy fuck that was powerful, anyone think Tompa kinda looks like chuck norris? haha

[BaraPontus2LOL]

@VincentVolaju chuck norris? lol ^^ :)

[rocketsauced]

scorch yourself metal at it's finest.

[EnorusLoL]

Why aren't they playing anymore?

[BaraPontus2LOL]

@EnorusLoL they split up in 1996. I don't know why. Maybe they thought that they could'nt do an album after Slaughter Of The Soul....'cause SOTS is an epic album...or maybe they lost interest....

This was the last time they played....(2008) it sucks imo

[i5Alex]

@BaraPontus2LOL I think they didn't want to end up like in flames LOL!!!

By the way... are they planning on joing together for another tour before 2012? HAHAA :D

[BaraPontus2LOL]

@i5Alex actually I think so too (that they don't wanna end up like IF and ruin their "epic legacy" they've left behind...

didn't Dissection ruin everything with Reinkaos? :P

oh, and about the 2012 and the apocalypse-armageddon-thingy: I've been daydreaming about "the end" at 2012 and that all epic death/black metal bands joined together to one last big fucking epic gig where all metal heads headbang to all of their favourite bands....Like....making that Woodstock consert look like nothing....

[i5Alex]

@BaraPontus2LOL Fuck yeah! That's awesome! They should totally do a 2012 Apocalypse GIG or something! No shitty bands tho! only true Death/black/Thrash metal bands on it :P

[BaraPontus2LOL]

@i5Alex yeah, only true Death/black/Thrash metal bands ^^ epic

[LsDButtHead]

@i5Alex LOL :D Thumbs up for this nice comment xD

but yeah... that sounds like a good reason

[StrangerAeon]

masterpiece

[383749302]

fuck its got such good sound, so much more brutal than any of there cds

[BaraPontus2LOL]

@ShadowRiser666 The DVD is awesome too ^^ They chose great songs ^^

[jamesfromcrawl]

anyone know what guitars they use cos the look sick

[BaraPontus2LOL]

nope ^^

[nameless123band]

@jamesfromcrawl caparison - really awsome (but expensive) Japanese brand. I think the bass is a warwick bass. Don't hold me to that.

[JanOmaticus]

they killed everything live... ive had the honor to be on this concert... it was the best concert of my entire life. and its unbelievable how good tomas sings live. thank you for this upload... (btw my dvd is on the way^^)

[BaraPontus2LOL]

you're welcome ^^

the best part on the dvd, imo, is the documentary....it's so fucking aaaawesome

[budleyguy]

Still played perfectly after sooo many years!!

[BaraPontus2LOL]

yeap, they're so awesome. They said on the documentary that they had only practiced the songs in 3 days....after not been playing for 12 years...

[budleyguy]

That is amazing to me especially with their older stuff being more technical and

Martin had to play all of Alf Svenssons fucked up riffs haha

[kvicken2000]

Nice, jävligt bra band!

Skönt att de är tillbaka igen!

[Feskprins]

De är inte tillbaka. De hade en kort reunionturné sommaren 2008, de kommer aldrig mer spela tillsammans igen.

[kvicken2000]

Nooooooo!!!

Allt är förgäves!

[BaraPontus2LOL]

dom kommer (som sagt) aldrig mer att spela igen, de där var deras sista spelningar...FAN

[kvicken2000]

Ganska synd, varför kan de inte fortsätta med sitt goda arbete egentligen!? :O

[BaraPontus2LOL]

"they don't want to ruin their epic legacy" som det står överallt :P

Det blir nog ganska svårt för dom att göra ett nytt album...med tanke på att Slaughter Of The Soul är ett jävligt grymt coolt album ^^ Så att göra ett nytt "bättre" album blir nog svårt. Dom vill väl inte göra nåt nytt som blir skit....

[kvicken2000]

Det känns ju lite konstigt :P

Man spelar ju musik för folket och att det är ett av de största intressen man har.

Tävlar man mot sig själv på det viset är det ju risk för att bandet blir bortglömt, med tanke på att de inte skapar något nytt matrial och inte är aktiva :/

[KoRnyboj]

gryyyymt!

en Gardens Of grief låt!

sjukt bra!!

[BaraPontus2LOL]

jepp, den och Windows e najs ^^ och Raped By The Light Of Christ ^^ Kingdom Gone....fan, många låtar ^^

[Metalmania84]

All life ends!

[BaraPontus2LOL]

At The Gates forever ^^
