New Music Recommendations

The god fathers of Melodic Death Metal, At The Gates, released what may be their final record, “The Ghost of a Future Dead”. This album holds the final vocal recordings of the legendary Tomas Lindberg, who managed to record everything shortly before his passing in 2025. This incredible release just solidifies the band’s position as one of the greatest to ever do it. Give it a spin and throw up the metal horns 🤘
