"The band's legacy is far reaching, because of their innovations in the metalcore genre."

Can you spell bullshit? At The Gates has nothing to do with metalcore other than being a
popular target that these hackjob bands to steal riffs from. They didn't do any "innovations in the metalcore genre" because they aren't and never were metalcore! [[Special:Contributions/213.113.161.54|213.113.161.54]] ([[User talk:213.113.161.54|talk]]) 20:38, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Guest Appearances: Does anyone know which songs Tomas Lindberg and Anders Björler plyed on Hidden Hands of a Sadist Nation? --Zegoma beach 13:55, 10 March 2006 (UTC) - solved - Hidden Hands of a Sadist Nation page updated --Zegoma beach 16:34, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]


hey are sometimes mistakenly considered part of the "New Wave of Swedish Death Metal" (which includes bands such as In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Hypocrisy and Soilwork among others), but in reality preceded it.

This doesn't hold the water. Dark Tranquillity was formed 1989 and ATG 1990. Both made bunch of releases before 1995.


The compilation album "Suicidal Final Art" is missing, it went out in 2001 (I don't have a more precise date).

Contradicting Articles.

In this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedecore article of Wikipedia it states that At The Gates makes/made Swedecore/Melodic Deathcore. So what is it?

no it doesn't. it says it influenced it heavily. --Spearhead 09:07, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:AtTheGates WithFearKissBurningDarkness.jpg

Image:AtTheGates WithFearKissBurningDarkness.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

Associated acts

Some of those are frivolous. Dark Tranquility, In Flames, etc. Keep it to bands that the members have been in.

  • I don't know about Dissection, but I think they should be there since they and ATG would help create the sound. They were friends who shared basically the same idea but in different bands. NaotoATG 08:27, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
