Swedish melodic death metal pioneers At The Gates are soon to unleash their much anticipated new album, To Drink From The Night Itself, on May 18, 2018 via Century Media Records. Produced with Russ Russell (Napalm Death, The Haunted, Dimmu Borgir) at Parlour Studios in the UK, the album follows up 2014’s acclaimed comeback release, At War With Reality.

The album’s front cover can be seen featured above and At The Gates vocalist/lyricist Tomas Lindberg checked in about it with the following comment: "It has once again been an absolute pleasure working creativily with Costin. We had a lot of ideas for what we wanted to get across with the art this time around. Overall they were, not surprisingly, related to the general concept of the record. What is great with Costin is that he understands the band. He knows what we are and where we come from. And me and him also have a strong artistic connection. I have never met anyone that goes so deep into the world of my lyrics and concepts. When I first wrote to him describing my ideas, I was worried that my remarks were perhaps too long and too confusing, only to get back an even longer and very inspired response…

The inspiration for the actual front cover piece is taken from the Pergamon Altar, on display at the Pergamon museum in Berlin. It is of course linked closely to the concept that the whole record is based upon, but more on that later. But I will throw a name out there, for the interested ones; Peter Weiss. I can't wait to get the whole record in my hands now, as this is just one of the many great artwork pieces that Costin has created for us on To Drink From The Night Itself..."

The main album’s will be as follows:

The time has finally come. After more than seven years of silence, Dimmu Borgir mark their epic return and unveil the first song of their new full-length album, Eonian, due to be released on May 4 via Nuclear Blast. As the title indicates, the band's 10th full-length release is dealing with the illusion of time and marks a tribute to both the band's own past as well as the Norwegian black metal history.

This first track off the new record, the symphonically charged 'Interdimensional Summit', comes with a music video shot by Patric Ullaeus, who had previously worked with the band for the clips of 'Progenies of the Great Apocalypse', 'Sorgens Kammer - Del II' and the award-winning 'The Serpentine Offering'. The song represents the more epic side of a devilish and diverse album, which pays tribute to all eras of the band's 25-years-long history.

Being one of the successful extreme metal forges on the planet, Dimmu Borgir have been dominating the symphonic black metal genre for 25 years. The songwriting core of Dimmu Borgir furthermore consists of charismatic vocalist Shagrath, as well as the string wizards Silenoz and Galder, but other familiar faces also emerge from the darkness: Drummer Daray and keyboarder Gerlioz are still part of the team, and Gaute Storaas helped with the choral arrangements for the majestic voices of the Schola Cantrum Choir.

The track list of the new album reads as follows:

01. The Unveiling

02. Interdimensional Summit

03. Ætheric

04. Council Of Wolves And Snakes

05. The Empyrean Phoenix

06. Lightbringer
