\nGothenburg, Sweden-based melodic death metal group At The Gates have recruited guitarist Jonas St\u00e5lhammar, revealing this development on September 11th, 2017. Founding guitarist Anders Bj\u00f6rler announced<\/a> his exit from the band\u2019s ranks on March 8th.<\/p>\n

At The Gates issued the following statement: \u201cWe have finally decided on a new guitar player, and we are ready to rip again! Actually, he was our first choice, and we are happy to have him on board.<\/p>\n

\u201cJonas St\u00e5lhammar has been a friend since the late eighties (Tomas [Lindberg, vocals] used to tape trade with him back then!), and our paths have crossed many times during our careers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were looking for someone who had the same reference points as we do, someone from the same path, so to say, who understand the greatness of both Autopsy and King Crimson. Of course, it was essential that our new member could fill the shoes of Anders performance-wise as well, but that was never an issue with Jonas. We were looking for someone with a deep understanding of what At The Gates are about, someone who could contribute creatively to the band.<\/p>\n

\u201cJonas St\u00e5lhammar will be a full member from day one, and will play on the upcoming full length album, scheduled for recording in November 2017 \u2013 January 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe currently have eleven songs ready for said album, and are more inspired than perhaps ever before.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can expect a full-on At The Gates record with all the classic elements of the band. It is by far the most comprehensive album of the band to date, and will span all the way across the different elements of the band\u2019s sound.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are super-excited for 2018. It will be a good year for At The Gates, and our fans, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

At The Gates\u2019 line-up is as follows;<\/p>\n

Tomas Lindberg (vocals, The Lurking Fear \/ ex-The Crown \/ ex-Lock Up)
\nJonas St\u00e5lhammar (guitars, The Lurking Fear \/ Crippled Black Phoenix \/ Bombs Of Hades)
\nMartin Larsson (guitars, Agrimonia \/ ex-Bombs Of Hades)
\nJonas Bj\u00f6rler (bass, The Haunted)
\nAdrian Erlandsson (drums, The Haunted \/ The Lurking Fear \/ ex-Cradle Of Filth \/ ex-Brujeria)<\/p>\n

Fifth studio record At War With Reality<\/em> was released<\/a> in October 2014 via Century Media Records.<\/p>\n
