Negative Positive
Title: Debut
Review: I had allways heard that At the gates were kings of gothenburg deathmetal but after picking up this album I began to doubt. Released in 91', this was maybe the first album to start the new wave from Sweden. It is not very good but it was very important for the genre back then. The music is not at all as advanced as it is on the next album. It sounds very dark and not as melodic as later albums. Yet it's a must have. At The Gates is a great band with many cool ideas. This Cd is not bad but unlike other bands from GBG, their debut wasn't that good. The developing proces from this to the next Cd released in 92'is enourmous. This is just a debut that sounds like a typical deathmetal cd of an okay deathmetalband. The next cd would be more complex and three times as good.
Is the review positive or negative?
