Recently, legendary AT THE GATES vocalist Tomas Lindberg was grilled via an intense Q&A during an interview on Australia's Kill Your Stereo. Here are a few excerpts of the interview.
Kill Your Stereo:
Do you have an opinion why Sweden has been so good for Metal bands?
Tomas:
I guess the scene always evolves around a few different personalities or bands. If there's a driving force, people get inspired by it and that's it really. There doesn't actually have to be any special qualities to the country, but, I mean, we're a pretty close-functioning country. Maybe we're a bit spoiled with the welfare system here, so we don't really have to worry about much. In our spare time we can actually play music.
Kill Your Stereo:
I know it's a question you've been asked to death and you're probably sick of answering, but I know you said you AT THE GATES are not going to write another record together, but you might be open to writing together under a different name. Is that something you've given much thought to lately?
Tomas:
Well, basically, I've learned never to say never. We said we'd never do any more shows whatsoever and now we're doing shows [again]. 2008 was the last tour we were going to do and now we are doing more [shows]. I learned not to say never you know.
Kill Your Stereo:
Have you noticed much difference between the shows now and the past couple of years as opposed to back when you were a permanent band over a decade ago?
Tomas:
Of course. For us especially, as I said, the reception was overwhelming. We didn't have a clue that it [reunion shows] was going to be that big. It's what I would say, for us, it was pretty frustrating back in the day. We were playing really small shows and we were working really hard. And nowadays people actually come out to see us [laughs] and they know the songs. It's very good. And, I think it's probably easier in that way to be a young band today as there is a supportive crowd not matter what style of music you play. Of course, there's more bands to compete with if you want to have a career out of it, but if you just want to go round making music, it's a lot easier doing it now, I think.
We believe that if the fans DEMAND for At The Gates to headline the
2013 Summer Slaughter Tour, this will lead to the band to join forces
and record some NEW music. And if not, at least the entire nation can
experience At The Gates' musical power in a live intimate setting!
SPREAD THE WORD!
At the Gates is an extreme Metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden, and a major progenitor of the Gothenburg Death-Metal sound. Their early albums lean towards a Death Metal sound, but later albums (especially Slaughter of the Soul) sound more like melodic Death Metal.
Initially active from 1990 to 1996, the band reformed in 2007 for a reunion tour before breaking up once again in 2008. In December 2010, they reunited again, but have no plans to tour extensively or record new material.

Relentless road demons, EXHUMED, will add to their expanding agenda of live takeovers with a string of Japanese tour dates alongside Death Metal pioneers CANNIBAL CORPSE! The shows kick off on October 15th in Tokyo and will serve as a warm up to the band’s recently announced five-week North American Tour with Napalm Death and Municipal Waste with additional support from Vektor, Dayglo Abortions, Attitude Adjustment, Speedwolf, Martha Splatterhead’s Revenge, Repulsion and Dwarves on select dates.
Notes frontman Matt Harvey: "We are totally psyched to head back to the land of the rising sun! Japan has always been one of our favorite places to play -- the kids are amazing, the food is great, and the giant robots are just a delight! To go there with our friends in Cannibal is even cooler, and we are pumped to make sure this will be a Death Metal spectacle of epic proportions. It's been quite a while since we've been there so it will rule to trot out some new tunes in between sake bombs and bar hopping in Roppongi."
Additionally, the band plan to enter the studio at the end of the year to begin recording their sixth full-length and follow-up to 'All Guts, No Glory'. "All Guts", is still streaming in its entirety HERE. And if you missed it, check out “The Way Of Flesh” from the deluxe version of the record courtesy of GunShyAssassin at THIS LOCATION.

Following EXHUMED's appearance at the 2012 SUMMER SLAUGHTER tour in New York City, in which they performed a bunch of NEW songs from their latest album 'All Guts All Glory' (available now via Relapse Records), we had the chance to chat with EXHUMED's own Matt Harvey and Rob Babcock at Idle Hands Bar about the 2012 SUMMER SLAUGHTER tour, how playing early during the day allows them more time at the bar and they even talk about how Progressive Metal bands are too predictable! Here is what went down:
Recently, the tri-state area Headbangers joined forces at New York City's legendary venue Irving Plaza (formerly The Fillmore) for the 2012 Summer Slaughter Tour. This years event is co-headlined by the mighty CANNIBAL CORPSE and Progressive Metallers BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME. Two bands that have a very different sound, but that have managed to open the minds of each others fans by penetrating ear drums like very few bands out there. The 2012 SUMMER SLAUGHTER tour truly represents what the state of Heavy Music is today: many different types of fans coming together to jam out to their favorite bands while learning about new bands and tendencies.

JOB FOR A COWBOY are currently demolishing crowds at the month-long Summer Slaughter trek. Today, the band is premiering a music video for "Tarnished Gluttony". The disturbing nine-and-a-half-minute clip was directed by Michael Panduro, who has previously worked with SAINT VITUS and CEPHALIC CARNAGE.
"'Tarnished Gluttony' originally runs off the idea of blind faith into our government and monetary system. The director ran with the idea and spliced it with a H.P. Lovecraftian twist. The video streams the fascination of religion and the actions people justify in the name of religion, and this video is a spin on the old biblical tale of Abraham and Isaac, however, set in the world of Lovecraftian mythology. The point is, acting blindly in faith to a Christian deity is just as absurd as worshiping squid like monsters from space who live under the sea." - Jonny Davey (front man of JOB FOR A COWBOY)
Adds Panduro: "As a commercial director, I'm a complete failure. The band asked for just one thing and I couldn't deliver. Indeed, this video has no boobs."

As previously reported, last night the 2012 Summer Slaughter tour stop at the Ritz in Tampa, Florida was delayed by "a couple of hours". Here is exactly what happened:
After a female bartender reportedly received a note that stated that during JOB FOR A COWBOY's set, a man was going to hurt people.... Cops were immediately called. Once they arrived at the scene they went ahead and evacuated the venue for the safety of all the attendees. Then the cops searched for weapons with a K-9 and the security guards from the Ritz searched every single attendee for weapons. They didn't find any weapons or the suspect.
Once Police deemed it safe for the show to continue, the attendees made their way into the venue and were surprised by a round of free drinks due to the delays. Thank goodness the bartender, the Police and the security team from the venue, reacted so promptly!
JFAC's drummer Jon "Charn" Rice sent this statement to Blabbermouth about the incident:
"Just to clarify the events that happened this evening, a note was passed to the bartender stating that during our set a man with two knives and a gun was going to hurt people. Cops were called and after the proper precautions were taken, the show set off again, albeit a bit behind. No one was hurt and everyone involved is safe."
Here is the official statement from the authorities (via Tampa Bay Online):
"Almost 1,000 people, customers and employees, were evacuated from the Ritz Theatre, 1503 E. 7th Ave., before the Summer Slaughter Tour. A customer heard two other customers talk about shooting people once the concert started at the club", police said.
"Management at the Ritz Theatre became worried and called police at around 5:34 p.m.", police said. "The club was evacuated from 6 to 7:30 p.m. and part of 7th Avenue was closed.
When police officers arrived, they evacuated the building and searched for weapons with a K-9", police said.
"No weapons were found in the club and the people who had been evacuated were allowed back in.
Once people got inside, police officers got on stage and told the audience what had happened and why they were evacuated. The crowd erupted in cheers and applause and thanked the officers, police said."
Here is some video of the crowd outside the venue:

Tonight, the 2012 Summer Slaughter tour stop at the Ritz in Tampa, Florida was delayed by "a couple of hours" after someone reportedly overheard threats of someone wanting to shoot Jonny Davy (the singer of JOB FOR A COWBOY). JFAC is one of almost a dozen bands that are part of the extreme Metal traveling festival. The venues security was notified and the Police were called, resulting in the venue being evacuated while concertgoers were being searched for weapons. The show was eventually allowed to proceed.
Stephen Rafferty of The Metal Observer, who is in attendance at tonight's concert, told BLABBERMOUTH.NET: "JOB FOR A COWBOY finished their set but we're almost two hours behind. VEIL OF MAYA just did 25 minutes. Lots of people came late and had no idea what was going on. Crowd and police were tremendous."

Tomorrow night, American Death Metal legends CANNIBAL CORPSE will kick off their headlining spot on this year's Summer Slaughter tour at the House Of Blues in Los Angeles (now SOLD OUT)! The band will be joined by label mates Between The Buried and Me, Job For A Cowboy and Goatwhore as well as The Faceless, Periphery, Veil of Maya, and Cerebral Bore. In honor of the tour kick off, Metal Injection will be hosting a pre-game Summer Slaughter podcast which will allow fans to chat LIVE with the bands. The one-hour pre-game show begins at 3:00pm EST/12:00pm PST at THIS LOCATION. Don't miss it.
Additionally, CANNIBAL CORPSE will appear on day two (August 18, 2012) of this year's inaugural Knot Fest alongside fest headlining hosts Slipknot, Deftones, Lamb Of God, Deathklok and more! For more info head over to the official website HERE.
CANNIBAL CORPSE are touring in support of their critically lauded, impossibly brutal full-length, 'Torture', released through Metal Blade Records earlier this Spring. On the twelfth studio offering of their inspiring twenty-four year career, the Floridian quintet have never sounded so vital, the album building upon the wealth of powerful, dark, and memorable songs comprising 2006's 'Kill' and 2009's 'Evisceration Plague' and pointedly upping the ante at every turn. The record landed the band at #38 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart upon its first week of release, making it the highest debut in CANNIBAL CORPSE history! Torture landed at #7 on the Billboard Top Independent Album Chart, #4 on the Billboard Top Hard Music Albums chart and #32 Billboard Top Current Albums Chart. Produced by Hate Eternal's Erik Rutan, Torture continues to reap critical accolades from critics and fans around the globe and is yet another testament to CANNIBAL CORPSE's permanent allegiance to shrewdly arranged, pile-driving Death Metal madness.
