Swedish melodic death metal outfit At The Gateshave a new album coming out later this month, so they naturally released their new single “The Dissonant Void” to remind people of that fact. The new track is streaming everywhere you get your music, but the new album The Ghost of a Future Dead won’t be released until April 24.
“We are proud to unveil the second track from The Ghost of a Future Dead: ‘The Dissonant Void’. Originally considered to be the title track – it’s a powerful, melodic and to the point track with the classic At The Gates style sound.”
The new track drives hard from the get-go, with an accompanying music video that apparently “serves as a first glimpse of a massive conceptual project” that features painting, filming, editing and production by Costin Chioreanu.
According to Chioreanu, all of that extra work was done to tell the album’s overarching narrative, which will be obvious once the new record comes out.
“‘The Dissonant Void’ is the peak of the iceberg, as a whole visual universe got born out of the void written so masterfully in lyrics by Tomas and expressed magically by the band through their unique heavy metal approach. This video, together with the whole The Ghost of a Future Dead movie, represent my ultimate homage to the genius which will forever remain as Tomas Lindberg. It was a colossal task to express visually the depth and the darkness of these lyrics and music for an entire album, which also is most probably the darkest record I ever worked for.”
The Ghost of a Future Dead will be released on April 24 via Century Media, but you can preorder your copy today.
