Swedish melodic death metal pioneers, At The Gate,s have announced the release of their new album, The Ghost Of A Future Dead, out on April 24 via Century Media Records.
The follow-up to 2021’s wildly adventurous The Nightmare Of Being, this upcoming release marks a special tribute to frontman Tomas Lindberg, who tragically passed away in September 2025.
The Ghost Of A Future Dead was recorded and mixed by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden, and comes with artwork created by Robert Samsonowitz / www.rbrt.org.
At The Gates checked in with the following comment about The Ghost Of A Future Dead:
“We are proud to finally share some news about our eighth studio album, ‘The Ghost Of A Future Dead’. The album will be released on April 24, 2026 – more than two years after it was completed in the studio.
“As you all know, Tomas Lindberg passed away last year due to complications from his cancer treatment. Over the past few years, we worked closely with Tomas, discussing and refining every detail to ensure nothing was left to chance.
“In accordance with Tomas’ wishes – including the album title, sound mix, track order, artwork, and overall presentation – The Ghost Of A Future Dead remains true to form. It combines the ferocious energy and hard-hitting powerful melodies that is the essence of At The Gates. This album is Tomas’ legacy.”
The album’s powerful opening song, “The Fever Mask”, is being launched as a single today and comes with a heartfelt in memory tribute video to Tomas Lindberg assembled by longtime collaborator Patric Ullaeus / https://www.revolver.se, which can be now seen below.
At The Gates added the following comment about “The Fever Mask”: “‘The Fever Mask’ was one of the final songs written for the album and quickly stood out as the natural choice for both the opening track and the first single for ‘The Ghost Of A Future Dead’. It perfectly captures the essence of At The Gates, blending raw energy, strong melody and beautiful lyrics by Tomas.”
