AT THE GATES "To Drink From The Night Itself"
Directed by Patric Ullaeus | www.rEvolver.se
At the Gates have returned with a new song and music video, "To Drink From the Night Itself." It's the title track from the Swedes' seventh album, due out May 18th via Century Media Records.
"To us, this gives a presentation of the attitude of the album: raw, hungry, and desperate," frontman Tomas Lindberg comments. "It also gives an introduction to the whole concept of the record. We live through our art, and the whole album deals with the concept of art. Art as a tool either for revolution, or suppression. To drink from the night itself is just that, a metaphor for living and breathing through art."
"Of course," he continues, "the concept goes deeper than that, but this song is the heart of the concept, the fierce call to arms so to say. We are still at war, but this time we are fighting the abyss, the abyss of apathy and oppression. It is an aggressive song, but also contains a lot of the other elements of the band's sound on this record. Melancholia, desperation and struggle."
With regards to the accompanying performance clip, Lindberg adds: "For the first video, we chose to use director Patric Ullaeus again, as he is good at capturing the raw energy of the band playing live. In the video you can also see glimpses of the art used for the cover, so it binds it all together nicely. Enjoy."

Taken from Century Media Records pressrelease:
The time is come now to reveal AT THE GATES first promotional video clip for the song “Death And The Labyrinth”. Directed by Patric Ullaeus (In Flames, Arch Enemy, Lacuna Coil, etc.), the vibrant clip can be seen below.
AT THE GATES vocalist Tomas Lindberg checked in to comment on the video as follows: "We had a very special idea about the kind of approach we wanted for the first video from “At War With Reality”. What we needed was someone gifted enough to throw himself artistically into the project full on. The lyrics to the song are very multi-layered and surreal, so we wanted someone to create a fevered dreamworld that went with the melancholic frustration and dramatic desperation that we feel comes across in the song. This is exactly what Patric has created for us. It's his vision of the music and lyrics, which compliments the track perfectly in my opinion. I couldn't be happier!"
Director Patric Ullaeus added the following: "It’s always nice to work with creative artists who are like-minded. Ideas seem to flow easily. We had a lot of fun making our vision come true. Being on these amazing locations in Antelope Canyon, Arizona was truly an unforgettable experience."
