After a quick rise through the metal ranks, At The Gates broke up in 1996, only to reform in 2007 to cement their legacy further as one of the greats of Scandinavian death metal, with extensive live work & multiple studio albums, before the untimely passing of vocalist Tomas Lindberg.
Regarded as a highlight of the band's career by many who followed them from their earliest incarnation, 'With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness', was originally released in 1993. The album was known for its breakthrough style at the time, with highly complex melodic arrangements retaining a dark & brutal edge mixed with at times even slight black metal overtones & poetic, philosophical lyrics accompanying the songs.
'With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness' was recorded at the iconic Sunlight Studios (Entombed, Dismember) & produced by the equally legendary Tomas Skogsberg. The album also notably featured a guest appearance by Matti Karki of fellow Swedish greats, Dismember.
This edition of 'With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness' is presented on jewel case CD format including booklet matching the original release, & includes newly (bandapproved) remastered audio courtesy of the also legendary Dan Swano at Unisound Studios.
